Share this article I wrote on the board Phuot long. Now put on here to share with you love traveling and Phượt. This trip himself away in 2009, this year has turned the lawn few present day herd grew densely homes at all. Inter-communal roads are still the same, boulder, marsh, and everything like almost unchanged.
Lung Yun trails
From Peace you go towards Mai Chau - Moc Chau, Muong Khen town through one passage, to Nga 3 where the roadside markets. You stop asking Wing Lung Yun road motorbike - Enemy Church. Just run the car straight, along the right hand side, if you just ask to down 3 way back to make offline. Here's the map:

When you combine Lung Yun go both Ngo Luong National Park. Since you asked the way at Lung Van Ngo Luong, in the map you can see the road that runs along the TL128, this road is located close to the National Park, which is also quite interesting Offroad segment, passing through many villages in Muong. If you need to ask questions about the way you keep your Reply, Andy will give you specific advice.
Roof of Muong Van Lung
From Enemy Church looked towards the pass zigzag Mun called creeping upward slope steep ridge, high above it, where the mountains are immersed in sea cloudy roof of Muong Bi, was also the highest of Full Muong Hoa Binh, known as Lung Yun. Without the pass, it's hard to imagine that there clouds on thousands of human lives. Surrounding the basin are the stilts like Muong hanging halfway up the mountainside, at the time hidden in the clouds stream.
Not only humans, but people here have thousands of years. Penglai parish also has the ancient name that today few people know, also known, which is Muong Slow. The word is not fast Slow Slow Vietnamese sense, but in English it does not mean Muong anything. The ancient origins of these places no one was out.
Actually Van Lung Street in beautiful, but when on the scene until Yun Lung nothing much, from here through the Pu Luong sugar, but only walk, all about 7 hours. Also you can visit Ngoc Son sanctuary - Ngo Luong. This area is still very unspoilt, here can buy pork visualize prices 65k / kg.
ALONG THE WAY UP
ROAD TO VALLEY CLOUD - rooftops Muong
7am, we hit the road. After escaping from Hanoi to the flow of people and cars crowded, with the smoke and dust, I asked, "After all how that place? "Just go and will know soon enough!". Not in the center of the city of Hoa Binh, we run the new road along the city, continue to Highway 6. Just up the hill Mr. statue, my friend asked if I wanted to visit Uncle no object? I asked him to not, he said to then, "So do you know the meaning of the stairs leading to the monument he did not?" "No, the ladder makes sense anymore?". "Of course! each stone steps and landings were significantly related to active life and monumental Uncle ". Muslims there, after volunteering in Leshan (Peace), we were taken to visit the monument Physicians and sightseeing Songda HPP. From the foot of the mountain, the first steps, symbolizing childhood Physicians, and from these steps, we looked up the mountain is still high, never saw Uncle ball. After the first landing, the stairs, landing next to each phase represents the revolutionary activities of Physicians, and under which we will gradually see Uncle fuller picture.
End of story about Uncle's when we left Van Lung Highway 6 to go. Looking far ahead is the convolution coincides majestic mountains looming hidden in the sea of clouds - high and distant, hard to believe it, and here we will again be standing on the other peak that looks down. Pretty bad weather, cloud cover makes the scene even more murky jungle, my friend spoke "Yesterday morning newspaper is not rain, but by the evening, the newspaper is little rain," I laughed, "Then slice heaven will be sunny again. " From the day after the floods in Hanoi I no longer care much about this item more weather forecasts. Clouds Valley Road to be long, but the scenery here is so amazing was our then. Mun steep, the slope is known for crab Sky Gate and twisting round to poverty as people want to challenge power. From here, the road becomes more difficult, the steep cliff that sometimes irrepressible I screamed with fear. Day was a student intern, while crossing the steep winding mountainous roads, I felt it was very beautiful, such as the white lace on the blue shirt romantic. Now, well above the gorge, steep turns like this, I was thinking of hand poured minds how enthusiastic, sweat and effort; and think of the ethnic minorities, those living village on a mountain cliff has and will live before and after the road?

Plates signposts: Lung May 3.5km, 11km Ngo Luong - the land of nature reserve Ngoc Son - Ngo Luong, making greed in me resurfaced, like myself price can be divided into two halves. But the feeling is about to set foot on the roof of Muong Bi, was also the highest village of the Muong Hoa Binh whole, has pulled us away. No matter how many times we had to stop by the valley out after each bend, terraces, though not in season, grain, beautiful still captivating, there Muong ethnic people are assiduously labor cultivated a rich harvest. But perhaps no other place we stopped long as in the valley of the Lu neighborhood residents. A painting with a peaceful setting, clean but very lively. In the distance the mountains, the craggy folds of the floor at the time hidden in the clouds. Terraces here are not high and steep as in the area of Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Lao Cai, ...), the "clean" on each plot as if it regularly "sweep" (clean to the point I do not heart to throw the pie crust taste, had to bring back into the pockets of Hanoi); Muong women are working, each additional pickaxes real down steadily. See us taking pictures, they whisper something to each other and laughing. I asked him to you, strong voice, yelled down, "Let these photos please shoot second". I just worry that they do not understand the Vietnamese language, but unexpectedly, they speak very fluently "Capture beautiful no where", "when there is grain?" "As long" "Why have transplanted paddy site then that would place no implant? "" Where does the water before implantation, and then have to wait until May with country, June new implant "" So where did man so full of women go to? "" Women then lo farm work, other working men "" No cattle or hoe so that's that again? "" There are few very, hoe and then to teach the country "" A few years do crop? " "There are two cases where, but only where there is no one country alone service" "There is enough to eat?" "Not enough to eat anywhere" "That's life like?" "Yes to the forest, to plant more corn, more cassava ". Laughter say seems to thin out, and they diligently with each of their pickaxes. "Work then, we come here," he greeted me after you took a few pictures, they looked up and waved us back. The journey continues.
STORY MAY Valley.
So we're standing on Lung Yun - rooftops of Muong Bi at 1000m altitude over the sea, separated from the surrounding area by the Pass is nearly 1300m. In the "land Muong Four" - four major cradles of civilization's oldest and Muong, antediluvian pursuant zone area, population, wealth, beautiful women, good wine, the power of the Lobby , cattle lot and the gongs echoed farthest classification order: Best Ball, second wine, eight months, automatically.
Here I've been listening to a legend like this: There are mountains, where the villages are living peacefully. A flood of strikes suddenly in the night washed away everything, houses, villages, people, cattle and engulfed the mountain forest. There are a couple from house sticking a raft flows, floating raft sank between wave data from day to day, but they still cling to each other not to leave. Then the raft entangled in tree Bi - a huge old tree roots spread through nine ten mountain river should remain stable in the flood. The flood was also drawn at all become wild fibers. No way, they set up tents in right under the tree Bi to stay and have children, land cleared for agriculture, plowing hoes terraced valley, as a son (reels) for water, tamed the wild beast livestock, setting the visualization. Grateful tree save lives, they took the name given name figured tree, forming Muong Bi today, a vast mountainous region includes many communes in Tan Lac district. And Lung Yun is inhabited by Muong Bi highest.

Lunch at Lung Yun, the sun began to dawn, the sun came down lighting throughout the valley, lush green rice paddies still dewy, sun shines down all the houses along the ridge remains in place as the focus sleepy cat. Thot happy to see small yellow flower flap improvement before several folds, you're off the bus shooting furiously. Both cloud valley totally quiet, not a ball, only folds stood, signaling only thing the owner is away is just by a few wrist bamboo is used as a port are located in front fastenings. Feeling confused and find themselves intertwined. Bewildered by here too calm, quiet but not cold desert, like the folds of her own home for someone misses the road, it had to stop; fascinated by the scenery was beautiful fruit, nice like in the land of "Elysium" so. The most interesting exhibits are the thin cloud that was just his overflight. And so, I scurry around, from place to place, until called to go forward. The terraced fields here, adjacent to my feet. Meet a heavy wood baskets Muong women, I offered to get acquainted and ask for a photo, but no reaction, that goes wrong reverse themselves. Maybe she does not understand the Vietnamese language or strange, do not know, so heavy. Then we met nest census, known on this high valley untouched to 12 villages with about 2,000 border, a team he laughed, "That's old data, new data also time we I started to investigate this! ". "The lives of the people had not he?" "Over here also just off the 135 projects of the Government, but life is still hard physically very tough," and he continued, "Being the life spiritual comfort, fresh air, this is the one where the people who lived very high, "" do you see here full of women so that copper? "" now equality and women specializing in the farm, and then up the mountain men in the woods, "" investigative work hard not he? "" hosts, villages are scattered on the mountainside, distant travel have not met anyone in the home". It's a pity because the only plan for the day should not have much operational time, had split up but filled with nostalgia. As planned, we will return by another route to reach his rediscover my friend. The road at the foot of the mountain (called foothills, but the fact that the high valley in the middle ranks) are not only longer but also bumpy so much more difficult.
