Just like poetry and poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan, if he had to go to heaven, Tuan would go to the reverse region where the magnificent mountains and forests of the Northeast where he was a soldier for many years stationed at Cao Bang forts once wrote the following verses: “ A bowl of forest wine / Laughing to break the waterfall / A cold rainy night / Deep with coal light / A sentence soars / A patrol road across the village / Nights screaming your name / Firecrackers howling around… The country… hundreds of battles / Want to find a common soldier / Look in the form of a rock / Vong Phu through the wind and fog… “. (Normal soldier). Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan. Why did you choose the South? Go suddenly. Go like a talisman lures you to go. As long as indefinite? It seems to be disoriented because Nguyen Thanh Tuan has never “planned” his life. Going to clean up the whole family with Nam Tien. You are not showbiz, how can you love the Southern light? She is currently holding the position of Vice Principal of a school in the countryside. The ancestors of the family are on both sides of the land in the land he once wrote: “ Dad took me to the village road / Let me take each brick / In the sky as blue as the river / Under the bamboo banks “. (Village road), why suddenly the south is as serene as clouds in the four directions of the sky. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a rather strange case. Once upon a time, Tuan from the East matched with Duong Kieu Minh from Doai, a pair of famous poetic poems in the middle of the world, half an eye of multi-faceted poetry, alone, making people feel anxious and worried. Thanh Tuan’s poetry is oriented towards tradition, taking simplicity as the foundation, liking the new but not the old, shaking hands and celebrating with the rich and lovingly at peace with old friends and neighbors. Tuan sometimes flies to the clouds, still holding a thin kite string on the ground. Where did the kite string break? The storm outside is dark clouds, white wind, elephant god, who knows if it’s good or bad? Well know this: “ Hiding the roots of the urban day / The smell of the earth contemplating every night / Loving the piece of potato buried in the school day / Thirsty for the river while bathing naked “. (Village memory); “ Everywhere I go, I find myself sobbing / The night of the festival melts beautiful heels / A pompous farewell to brothers and sisters / Early morning buried in the mud “. (Village festival)… meaning Tuan still considers his homeland as important, still grateful for great accretion from rice seeds and potatoes in the fields and corners of the village. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is an expected poet in Hung Yen in recent decades, especially during the period when he was Vice President of the Association – Editor-in-Chief of Pho Hien Magazine, which invited unique and special pages of poetry and literature. sharp. Of course there are people, including the leadership, who don’t like the men who wander or speak everywhere. Also telling the truth. He also often said the right thing when he had to say it differently, saying it around like a poem, he wrote poetry and said it straight, so his position was wobbly and could not stand it but completely slipped. This is a matter of local art circles and we’re happy for him. At that time, Tuan was still a poet in the true sense of the word: “ And you still have the right to take off your shirt/ To shed all winters barefoot/ The first drop of water from your shoulder/ Spring buds across the Red River Delta “. (Liberal Red River); “I lied to a dying person / Let them go away with peace of mind / I lied to my heart / I kept my hopes / I lied day and night / To torment my conscience night and day”. (Lie)… Poet Nguyen Thanh Tuan (2nd from the right) with fellow writers. Nguyen Thanh Tuan is a philosopher. Everything is considered philosophy first. However, the absurdities in life fell on him, Tuan did not know how to argue. Or arguing is just arguing in poetry. Outside, I see that he is always weak, even though the right thing has already belonged to him. Once, I went with him and writer Dao Ba Doan to drink at a flooded temple. When he got drunk, he didn’t know the way back. Doan was led away by a long-haired girl’s granddaughter. My house is a few inches away, but I can’t return it is ridiculous. But being young at the time, this was usually not a big deal. Even though that night, Doan announced his marriage to that girl?! Where are they now in the vastness of heaven and water? Strangely, he just sat still like a statue without saying anything, even more not stopping the other couple from walking into the dark night in the middle of the river. Until morning, the militia brothers in the commune used a boat to take us to the town to have breakfast and return to Nguyen Thanh Tuan’s house to see the couple chirping in the small kitchen as if they were at home. Could it be that they thought this was the place where the fairies were? The two brothers had to withdraw from the house, ignoring the pair of bronze and jade fairies. Then Tuan wrote a poem: Leaving the dogma in the flooded temple / Doan walking in the rain / Village women with long hair like a river / Boobs rising up in the pouring season / Did the Doan choose? / Is it the freedom group? / Go / Walk away in a short distance The buffalo dung road makes a mistake / Going to grow chrysanthemum leaves, lemongrass and incense … The river cries in the rain / Corpse Doan is covered with alluvium from the water’s edge…” . (The group goes to the river). Nguyen Thanh Tuan is not only fascinated with his homeland but also fascinated with people, not only men like Doan but also Tuan’s women are also very wandering: “ If my sister is not next to me / I don’t remember the name of the temple / I pass by my hat forever / How can I hear the whispering whispers… But I don’t have a husband? / When I enter the temple, I vow to become a monk. “. (Phoenix Pho Hien); “ You came out pure from the drizzle / The eyes of the leaves opened in shock / The rising rivers turned away sullenly / I panicked and yelled at you to stop / At the other end of the road the clouds were very unusual “. (At the end of the drizzly road)… Nguyen Thanh Tuan has been lost in the South for nearly ten years, sometimes returning to his father’s hometown, sometimes his friends are also lost or busy making a living, giving up literature and words. Like Tuan himself, the poet is expected to have deeply embedded in his memory a few verses, still in the village’s memory is it still the same as before? “ Why don’t you go back to the dyke / Kite to let go of the passion of the city / Guava is happy with the green river / Take off your clothes and take off your clothes equally / Bai Soi is proud of the buffalo back / Everywhere you fall, you will fall on the brown earth of your hometown / Rise give white chicken grass / Give me the shyness to fight, but I’m empty-handed “. (Untitled). As the years go by, the rich and glorious beauty has long been a waste. The joys and sorrows are lost and frivolous like clouds floating above your head. It is only fair that Nguyen Thanh Tuan is in a far place looking back or old friends looking to read his poetry. While the core values ​​of culture, history, and people seem to be under too much pressure; pressure from the new came rushing in; the pressure from the old persistently does not let go; pressure from each self over time and voluntarily surrendered. Oh, the pressure makes people confused. In that scene, fortunately, Nguyen Thanh Tuan was able to say that: Get out of the pond, fish and fish / Be careful not to forget to catch a lotus branch / Clap the petrified pink horse again / Bring only a gentle buffalo / Fly through the mist of copper / Melt into nothingness… “. (Dream). Oh Nguyen Thanh Tuan! It seems that everything has been peaceful in different heavens? Is the loss of good and bad people also a constant? Brothers and sisters, who have taken literature as a reason to live, they must understand that “the world is infinite and everything is empty” is the Buddha’s words thousands of years ago? The North and the South don’t have a literary background? We are in the same realm. We are in the same rhythm. We share the same reason of life and death, but are we not destined for heaven and earth?

Hunting clouds in Hang Kia – Pa Co. (Photo: Cung Phuc) Hang Kia – Pa Co valley is as beautiful as a fairyland. Hang Kia – Pa Co is located in the middle of Xa Linh and Luong Xa mountain ranges, with an average altitude of 800-900m above sea level, a cool year-round climate and surrounded by primeval forests with invaluable vegetation. equally rich. Drug hotspot turns into a beautiful cloud hunting spot Hang Kia, in Thai is “Bat Cave”, and Pa Co means “Goat Forest”, the residence of the Mong people in these two communes, which were formerly the villages of the Thai people. However, because it is not suitable for farming and living practices, the Thai people here have moved elsewhere. About 30km from Mai Chau town, Hang Kia – Pa Co are the two most difficult communes of Mai Chau district, once the capital of opium and a hot spot for drugs and social evils of Hoa Binh province. The cause of this situation is that the Mong here have a close relationship with the Mong people in Van Ho district (Son La) and the Mong people in Laos. Taking advantage of this, some subjects have carried out acts of illegally trading and transporting drugs. Since then, criminal lines have been formed and this place has become a transit point for drugs from Laos to Vietnam. Currently, Hang Kia – Pa Co has returned to its peaceful rhythm of life. Some households have begun to develop homestay tourism, attracting a large number of domestic and international tourists. From 2010 up to now, the local tourism activities began to have strong development steps. Since 1986, Hang Kia – Pa Co was planned as a special-use forest and in 1997 was converted into a nature reserve. The residents here are up to 90% of the Mong ethnic group, which still retains many unique cultural features. Khen dance – one of the unique cultural features of the Mong people in general and the Mong people in Hang Kia – Pa Co in particular. On festivals, the Mong ethnic group in Hang Kia – Pa Co organizes pounding day cakes to treat friends, this is also one of the unique culinary features here. The group took a souvenir photo at Hang Kia gate. (Photo: Huy Khoi) The most characteristic feature of Hang Kia – Pa Co for tourists is to go to “heaven’s gate” to “hunt clouds”. From above, visitors can watch white clouds floating around the mountains. We went to Hang Kia on a last day of April. The period from October last year to April next year is the ideal time to hunt clouds because these days with high humidity and cold will easily have the opportunity to meet more cloudy. The night before, we sat outside to eat and drink, surrounded by clouds making us feel like we were sitting in a refrigerator, a natural refrigerator. If you don’t wear a hat, it will only take a moment for the clouds to soak your hair. The later it got late, the colder it got, a few rains came, making our group all secretly happy that tomorrow morning will hunt clouds successfully. We woke up at 5am so we could reach the sky gate at 5:30am to hunt clouds. On the way, the gravel roads are messy, foggy, going 1-2m apart but “faint human image”. The more we waited, the less we could see the clouds descending, twisting together densely and floating around the mountain peaks. So cloud hunting failed. Kha A Dinh, the owner of A Dinh homestay, told us that if it rains heavily the night before, and the next morning is sunny, the hunt for clouds will succeed. “This season is the best season to hunt clouds, hopefully, you guys are lucky next time,” A Dinh said. Hang Kia and Pa Co market If the rattan hunt fails, you can visit Hang Kia and shop at Pa Co fair. In fact, very few people are allowed to enter Hang Kia because this place is not a tourist attraction, but is under the management of the Ministry of Defense. Fortunately, we were loved by the local people and personally took us to Hang Kia to tell us the name was taken to give this place name. What you should pay special attention to when entering Hang Kia is to stay away from the Ki tree, a wild plant that grows along the entrance to the cave, has very sharp thorny leaves that sting like a needle. Locals said that sometimes when I don’t look at it, it also stabs itself. We had to actively use our shoes to crush the Ki tree so it wouldn’t hit us. Entering the cave, we caught a few bats flying out of nowhere, then flew away again. That’s the Bat Cave. The cave is small and deep. Sometimes we had to crouch to keep our heads off. In the cave there are many stalactites, traces left by thousands of years of water droplets flowing on the top. Pa Co market takes place on Sunday mornings with products of the indigenous Hmong people. Banned pork is sold at the market gate. The red pork pieces like beef, white fat and thick, the price is about the same as pork in the city, but definitely much better. Dresses and shirts sewn and embroidered by the people themselves are also on sale, priced at 1 million/piece. The price is expensive because this is completely handmade. To sew a brocade dress/shirt, it takes a month of hard work for the sisters/mothers. There are Hmong women about 70-80 years old who bring ginseng roots, precious plants only in this area, and lovely Mong dogs… for sale. People often buy and bargain less because people here are still too poor, buying to support them is the main thing. Group of tourists taking pictures with Mong children in Mongolian village, Hang Kia. (Photo: Huy Khoi) With a cool year-round climate, and located on a famous tourist route connecting Mai Chau and Moc Chau, going to Hang Kia is often combined with tourists to visit neighboring areas. For example, if in the calendar year, you can run to Moc Chau to see plum or peach blossoms, take advantage of visiting Hang Kia to play. There is also a plum garden here for you to see, if you like. Located between Tan Lac and Mai Chau on National Highway 6, you can go through Thung Khe Pass or Da Trang Pass, you can see the clear sky in the morning, the afternoon sun is hot, the sky is blue, the afternoon is gentle with sunlight. Afternoon sun and night fog spread all over the road. Going down Mai Chau 30km, visitors can visit Lac village, Mai Chau, a famous and poetic attraction among high mountains and green rice fields. Currently, Lac and Mai Chau villages have developed community tourism with electric cars that take tourists to visit 8 villages, there are double bicycles for renters to cycle through fragrant ripe rice fields.

The famous hidden temple in the middle of the famous thousand is located near Da Lat Linh Quy Phap An Pagoda (Bao Loc, Lam Dong) is one of the most attractive places to visit because of its unique architecture and peaceful space.

The average height of the Truong Son is 2,000 m, with many heights of over 2,500 m like a wall of citadel in the western border of the S-shaped strip of land. Throughout its length the Truong Son meanders and at times it seems that it wants to come close to the East Sea leaving only a thin strip of plain like rice leaves and the thinnest place is Quang Binh. Sticking to that thin strip of plain, the roads through Vietnam were easily blocked by the US air force. Therefore, in order to bring soldiers and goods to the South of the transport roads of the 559 line, it was compulsory to go round to Laos. But in order to get to Laos, people had to cross the top of Truong Son. Heaven Gate is one of those streets. Heaven Gate – surely it must be very tall to have that name “arrogant”. Standing at the bottom of the slope, looking up could not see the top, only seeing the mountain pass. Its ascending dimension alone was nearly 30 km. Heaven Gate is also known by another name – that is Monkey Pass – probably because it is too craggy and dangerous, only descendants of Emperor Sun Wukong live and pass here (?). Heard that there were many wheelchairs down the cliff from a height of thousands of meters. Heaven Gate is also known as “Bag Bom” because tens of kilometers of passes are the focus of the attack of the US Air Force, the road is unique and dangerous, when being beaten, it is impossible to avoid where to go. It is said that there are dozens of air raids of all types of aircraft, including the B-52s. I don’t know how bad the reality is, but looking up, I only see the sores like the stone age … I just heard it, I’ve seen it creepy. […] 17 o’clock. Mountain mist has spread to the table. In the sky the marker had flown south and disappeared. Company leader Than gave the order to set off. The sky darkened, the more difficult the way to go: The towering cliffs seemed to just collapse on the road, below is the abyss. The road is narrow, just two tank chains, there is a place where the borrowed land has been raked up and rushed down the cliff, the bends of the sleeves also appear more and more. The driver’s back of the shirt was wet with sweat, eyes strained to look at the road, both hands tugged the steering wheel continuously, then shifted gear, downshift. Binh muttered: – The road with nothing but only cows number 1, number 2 like this. Unexpectedly, company leader Than heard him, he reminded: – Just keep up the speed. Remember to stick close to me on narrow roads. About an hour away an almost upside-down slope appeared, again tied up like a bottleneck and folding crabs. Carefully ordered to stop the car for everyone to get off, he used a flashlight to signal behind to let the cars know, then got off the bus and asked Binh: – What is the temperature of the cooling water and oil? Binh looked down at the dashboard and said: – It’s all up a hundred degrees, but I guess I can still walk. – Then keep going. I’ll walk in the middle of the road, just look at my white shirt. Carefully take off the jacket and throw it in the driver’s door for Binh. Answer: – Yes! In front of Hien with Tinh, Dat, Trang is walking. Page carried a stone, his mouth said: – See if this is deep! Saying that he rolled the stone down, one stone dragged the other rock and hurled endlessly. Page stick out tongue: – Must be a few hundred meters, not a few. Show: – According to my estimate, this place is only about three hundred meters high. Haven’t eaten yet, this peak should at least be over a thousand meters. They both shook their heads and stuck out their tongues. Behind, according to the shadow of the company captain, Binh tried to keep the car right in the middle of the road, he was always sticking with him, so the mud shield sometimes bumped into the cliff and hit “uỳnh” once. Binh estimated that the slope should be approximately 30 degrees, it is impossible to go number one but the engine temperature roars (!). When the walking wing reached the top of that narrow slope, the tank just crawled to the middle, the teachers and students sat and rested for the car to arrive. It took three times to get off the bus to walk to the top of the slope. Strangely enough, thinking that the top of the slope had to be very choppy, it turned out to be a fairly flat and spacious road. The line-up of cars snuggled up on the edge of the road for a break and checked the technique to prepare to go downhill. Trang and Dat pulled each other to the edge of the road to look down, but saw nothing but a cloud, they rolled on a stone but only saw the same as last time, did not know where the bottom was. It turns out that the previous images of the downward direction of Heaven Gate were completely wrong. Everyone thinks that the slope is so steep, so dangerous, its downward direction must be “relative”. But not! The Heaven Gate slope in the West Truong Son is quite pleasant compared to the eastern half, it is gentle and short, probably at the foot of the slope is a plateau with an altitude of several hundred meters above sea level. Over the top of the slope a few kilometers, the front station was already on the way to enter the army camp. To enter the army camp today, we had to follow a stream. It is the dry season, so the stream has little water, the stream bed has different large and small shiny black rocks lying around. It was almost morning, everyone wanted to quickly hide the car. […] All about the vehicles quickly dissipated. The sound of an engine let out for a moment, then the silence returned the stillness of the forest. It was just morning too.

An decided to quit working for 6 years to follow his dream. Photo: NVCC. Leave work, go to the forest In early 2020, the Covid -19 translation caused the tourism and service industry to fall into crisis. The restaurants met many difficulties, An’s work had many impacts. After a period of thinking, An decided to quit his job to find a new opportunity. “I think of Da Lat. When I first started working, I had a plan to go to Da Lat to work because I liked the nature and the atmosphere there. But people advise that the young should stay in the city to work, get experience. After 6 years working, I am confident enough to fulfill my own dream ”, An confided. An used the money saved after many years to become a homestay combined with a passion for cooking. Away from his family at the age of 13, An was used to living independently and looking for opportunities for himself, although starting a business in a new land presents many challenges. An Bao Da Lat had many opportunities but also many difficulties. “People looking from the outside think that being a homestay must be ‘chill’, very relaxed. Not wrong, but not entirely right, ”An said. Not simply bringing money to rent a house and decorate it, only in the first 10 days to Da Lat, An fell 5 kg, sometimes stressed out and could not sleep. “Have to close the kitchen, fix the house, paint the house, pick up the dust, clean the house, wash the laundry… do it all by yourself. In the past, working in the kitchen underwent a lot of pressure, but this pressure was several times higher ”, said Van An. It took a month for the new job to go into order. An spent 1 month to repair and decorate the house. Building a house is difficult, maintaining it is even more difficult. Previously, just focused on cooking delicious food for diners, now get used to getting up late and getting up early to welcome guests, taking care of every piece of food and sleep for guests every time they visit the house. “After all the initial hardships, it’s time to live the good days”, An laughed. “Every day to meet and get acquainted with new people, to go to the market to cook what you like. When you give your all to everyone, it’s also time to receive positive things.” Keeping Da Lat “The translation season is arduous, but it’s also fun. Have time to relax, redecorate the house, go around Dalat or neighboring places, ”An said. “The landlord called to say not to collect rent during the epidemic, while I never complained or pleaded. Then my friends help out a lot, often come home to help ”, according to Van An, stepping through the hardships, the new appreciation of human feelings for others. Guests as well as relatives visit the house. The thing that made An feel sad the most was that Da Lat was increasingly losing quality. “The city gradually lost its beauty of nature. Every place is racing to “foreignize”, “westernize”, from Japanese garden, Bali sky gate to Hong Kong street … but in fact, the core value of Dalat is pine forest, pure nature “. An said. Therefore, An always tries to build his house so that each guest can feel the peaceful atmosphere of the mountain town. Being a chef, An takes care of meals for guests, if he has time, he accompanies guests to entertainment spots in Da Lat, everyone will meet like family members. not just a stay. “The day before going to Thailand, I felt they do tourism very well, practical and useful. Traveling in me is often clever, sometimes deceived. I feel like I have to have a mind, to be sustainable, ”said An.
