Thung Khe Pass, Hoa Binh

Coming to Thung Khe Pass, also known as Da Trang Pass, visitors will be impressed by the extremely majestic and beautiful natural scenery with the soft, winding path covered by the fresh green of trees and grass.

One of the typical beauty features of Thung Khe Pass is the thick fog surrounding the pass, making people feel like they are lost in the wonderland.

If in the spring, Thung Khe is replaced by a new scene at the foot of the pass, then in the winter, this place becomes captivated by the cool air of the Northwest and the drizzle. This certainly brings you magnificent photos.

Moc Chau

When the winter comes, Moc Chau plateau is covered with mist. This is also the blooming season of wildflowers, wild sunflowers, buckwheat, poinsettia, and plum blossoms. Each flower has its own beauty.

Ba Na Hills, Da Nang

Da Lat

In the winter, Dalat makes people ecstatic in the terrific moments, when the fog is everywhere, making the sky gradually sink in the fantasy. However, it also brings the sadness inherent.

In this season of the year, that dreamy mountain town is so fragile, making us feel like each space is gradually melting in the blink of an eye. You are sure to enjoy the feeling of walking into the road early in the morning, welcoming the wind blowing in the face, and quietly listening to the misty sky.

You can have numerous stunning photos by driving on the foggy roads to find the green tea hills on the valley and standing in the middle of the windy plateau. Additionally, winter is the season for blooming flowers such as wild sunflowers, Mimosa, Prunus cerasoides, etc.

Pink River Rocks, Hanoi

If you are in Hanoi, Pink River rocks is also a wonderful spot to save beautiful memories. You will enjoy a tranquil space with a clear sky, light breeze, and rows of white reeds.

Located at the end of alley 264 Au Co, less than a 30-minute drive from central Hanoi, Pink river rocks is a perfect place to escape from the noise of this busy city. In a large area, there are many romantic scenes set up for fun and photography.

The garden is surrounded by the Red River, so visitors can take photos and enjoy the cool breeze carrying an alluvial smell. The space here is decorated with colorful flower beds.

Tam Dao mountain town is famous for its wonderful natural scenery and cool climate in four seasons of the year. It was once a French resort town in Indochina in the early 20th century with 145 villas and basic constructions such as hotels, dance floors, and swimming pools.

The golden age of the mountain town has passed, only the ancient stone church still retains its unique Gothic architecture, boasting as a historical witness between the town in the fog.

Fascinated by the history behind, along with the magnificent and mysterious beauty that makes the ancient stone church always a favorite place for taking photos in Tam Dao, you will not even be able to consider yourself to Tam Dao if yet to visit the stone church.

The mossy gray, cloudy sky and proud green pine forests are the perfect backdrops for any wedding photo. This is also a special favorite place for couples to come to wedding photography in Tam Dao.
