As the autumn days slowly begin to cool, hordes of travelers and photographers continue to flock to the mountainous commune of Y Ty situated in the northern province of Lao Cai in order to savour the area’s magnificent views of white clouds.
Located in the heart of the spectacular Nhui Co San mountain range, Y Ty commune is situated at an altitude of over 2,000 metres above sea level in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province. The commune is therefore an ideal cloud hunting destination for both tourists and photographers seeking to enjoy exquisite views. |
It is widely considered that the best time to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Y Ty is between September and April each year. Clouds can often be seen early in the morning or late in the afternoon and usually last until noon when the sun rises. |
During particularly chilly days, temperatures can drop to between zero and five degrees Celsius, while local valleys and villages are left engulfed in a sea of clouds. |
