TREKKING IN LAO CAI - I enjoy tropical forests and red maple leaves in Nhiu Co San, Cu Nhu San, Lao Cai, Vietnam The moss on trees and falling red maple leaves on the trekking trail, its beauty melts every single heart in Nhiu Co San, Cu Nhu San in early winter time. There is a growth layer of shrubs and grass, alternating with cliffs at the foot of the mountain This trekking trail is difficult to make in a long road, there are many vertical and slippery rocky slopes, sometimes you have to cross the forest, and sometimes you need to crawl up but what you gain is not only cloud hunting time, but also diverse and colorful things on the way up.
