By Sapa Tours
Renowned as the "king without a throne" among Vietnam's four great mountain passes, Ô Quy Hồ has become a famed destination not only for adventure seekers but also for tourists from all over. Embark on a journey along its winding paths to witness the majestic skies and clouds, promising an unforgettable experience during your trip to Sa Pa.
Đồi Chè Ô Quy Hồ (Ô Quy Hồ Tea Hill)
Situated at an altitude of 1,800 meters along a small dirt road off National Highway 4D, just 500 meters from Ô Quý Hồ Kindergarten, Đồi Chè Ô Quy Hồ is a sight to behold. The area resembles a series of nested bowls, formed by meticulously pruned and cared-for tea bushes. A standout feature of this tea hill is the rows of imported cherry blossom trees lining the pathways. Each year, from December to January, pink blossoms bloom, adding a vibrant touch to the lush green tea hills and creating a breathtaking scenic view.
When the sunlight pours over the northwest mountains, the tender tea buds brim with vitality, and the glossy layers of leaves make you feel as though you're strolling on a velvet carpet. The tea hill during cherry blossom season is a highly sought-after photography spot for both media and tourists. The ideal angles for capturing the enchanting beauty of Ô Quy Hồ Tea Hill are either from a high vantage point or from a distance.
Cổng Trời Ô Quy Hồ (Ô Quy Hồ Heaven Gate)
Located at an elevation of approximately 2,035 meters above sea level, Cổng Trời Ô Quy Hồ is an eco-tourism area situated on the route from Sa Pa town to Rong May Glass Bridge. Built on a flat terrain, the complex includes a restaurant-café, a cluster of spiritual architecture, and numerous unique cloud-hunting spots. From the top of the pass, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the undulating mountains and the mystical scene where the earth meets the sky.
Thác Bạc (Silver Waterfall)
Situated at the base of Ô Quy Hồ Pass, Thác Bạc is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the northwest. With a height of up to 200 meters, the waterfall appears as a silver silk ribbon flowing down the rugged mountain cliffs, shimmering with white frothy water.
Thác Tình Yêu Sa Pa (Love Waterfall)
Hidden within the Hoàng Liên National Park in the Trạm Tôn - Núi Xẻ area, Thác Tình Yêu originates from the sacred Fansipan peak, carrying the fresh breath of the primeval forest down to the dreamy Golden Stream. Unlike the majestic appearance of Thác Bạc, Thác Tình Yêu possesses a gentle, tender charm akin to a West Northern muse in a deep slumber.
Stopping by Thác Tình Yêu, visitors can stroll along the stone path leading to the dreamy waterfall and explore the rare ancient trees and beautiful forest flowers. After a trek of over 1 kilometer, nothing beats the experience of immersing yourself in the cool, amber-tinted water of the waterfall's stream. For thrill-seekers, you can also try zip-lining across the waterfall to challenge your limits.
Cột Mốc Biển Mây Ô Quy Hồ (Ô Quy Hồ Cloud Sea Marker)
Positioned along National Highway 4D near a roadside bend, the Ô Quy Hồ Cloud Sea Marker offers a breathtaking view of clouds cascading over towering mountains with a direct sightline to the legendary Fansipan peak. The marker stands on land owned by a group of H’Mông families, surrounded by various scenic check-in models like the cloud-hunting bridge, magical door, infinity pool, and stairway to heaven.
Cầu Kính Rồng Mây (Rong May Glass Bridge)
Located at the summit of Ô Quy Hồ Pass, at an altitude of about 2,200 meters above sea level, the Rong May Glass Bridge is currently the highest glass bridge in Vietnam. Built 60 meters away from the cliff face with a transparent glass floor, visitors can experience the exhilarating sensation of floating in mid-air. Clouds drift past the bridge, gently enveloping the entire space, creating a scene that moves the heart. Additionally, the eco-tourism area offers many exciting adventure games such as zip-lining, the single-log bridge, and the death swing, providing moments of thrilling excitement.
As you traverse this majestic route, you'll find yourself captivated by the raw beauty and dynamic experiences that define Ô Quy Hồ. Prepare to be inspired, exhilarated, and enchanted by one of Vietnam’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
