The bus was fairly nice, comfy seats, with decent leg room, even if it looked a little like an 80s pimp mobile. Like most buses in Southeast Asia, though, they immediately put on a movie. The bus ride took about an hour and a half.

The ferry was large, with plenty of room for both passengers and cars.  It was also the slow boat – about 2.5 hours of slow going, with quicker paced catamarans speeding past.  The ferry also showed its age a bit, but had a convenience store and bathrooms, and seats that reclined sufficiently to catch a nap on board. If you need a room, refer to the list prices on a chart, but there is room for negotiation.

Perfect time to visit Bai Tho mountain Vietnam is at the crack of dawn and before the sun sinks below the horizon. Climbing Bai Tho mountain, you can get a panoramic view of Halong Bay from above.
“Halong”, I bet the thought of Halong bay-one of 7 wonders of the world will pop into your head right after hearing such word. However, apart from Halong bay, this city has a lot more for you to discover.
1 Bai Tho mountain
Recently, Bai Tho mountain has been receiving lots of attention from tourists, who visit the mountain to take photo and “check-in” on Facebook. The mountain used to be called “Truyen Dang” until a king named Le Thanh Tong patroled the North east sea, stopped at the foot of the mountain. So beautiful was the landscape that he was inspired to write his poem on the cliff. From then on, locals renamed the mountain into “Bai Tho” (Poem). Not being the city’s highest mountain but it is an ideal place to view the city from above.
Conquering Bai Tho mountain Halong is not that hard as people think. It is just 200m high so it takes you only 30 minutes to reach to the top. Best time to visit is early in the morning and late afternoon. Want to see sunrise and sunset? It is suggested that you kick your journey off at about 4:30 am and 4pm.

Climbing Bai Tho Mountain is so easy that you dont have to wear shoes. It is totally possible for you to wear slippers or sandals. However, your feet will get hurt for sure.

-at the foot of the mountain stays a family of a mid-aged man, who is doing his job as a watchman of the area. If the gate is locked, you can ask him to open it. Vehicles could be left at the nearby stall or in the Ha Long market.

http://balotravel.net/places-to-visit-in-vietnam/
One of the noteworthy getaways for you to escape from the scramble of urban life is Mu Cang Chai, Yen Bai, Vietnam.

If you happen to be in such situation, a Mu Cang Chai Vietnam tour could make a perfect getaway.
1 Mu Cang Chai Vietnam
Mu Cang Chai is a western district of Yen Bai province, Vietnam. in recent years, this district has become an attraction to those who fancy traveling. Vietnam Mu Cang Chai wins the heart of tourists by all it has from people to the landscape. Coming here, you will feel so small to face the immense and superb of landscape and the sky. You will be so dipped into the serenity of Tay Bac mountains that constant worries seem to disappear (at least for a while).
6 mu cang chai Vietnam travel
The luckiest thing is Mu Cang Chai district, Vietnam is probably the least tourism-affected places in mountainous region of Northern part of Vietnam. It is among one of reasons making Mu Cang Chai a popular destination among backpackers. You may find local people still very countrified: if you put up a tent by the road, they may invite you to have a night at their house. Asking kids for direction, they will willingly take you to your place.  The thing i love most about this place is that locals don’t talk to me with the purpose of selling goods or souvenirs and plus, kids don’t cast silly smiles at me with the  hope of me giving them candies or something.
2 mu cang chai Vietnam tour
The notion of modern technology such as iPhone or iPad, etc doesn’t exist in the life of Mu Cang Chai children. Observing the difficult life of them, you may find out how happy and lucky you are right now. Kids here, although don’t have the proper education, are nice and know how to well-behave with strangers and help their parents.
4  mu cang chai yenbai Vietnam
Mu Cang Chai Vietnam owns an all-year-round beauty. Each season sows into the soul of tourists a sense of nostalgia when they are back home. However, the funniest time of Mu Cang Chai is probably the rice harvest season. In late September and early October, if you have chance to embark on a Mu Cang Chai tour, you will be awestruck by the magnificence of nature, of the sky, the achievement of locals. You may see Mu Cang Chai golden rice terraces running towards the horizon. The aroma of ripen rice will mingle with the laughter of farmers who are bowing to harvest rice. That is something to be desired for: a simple-but-hard-to-find-happiness in the urban life.
3 mu cang chai district Vietnam
Mu Cang Chai in May and June is also captured beautifully through the lens of photographers. The blue of sky is reflected in the field, mixing with the red of soil, waiting for the sun to rise and complete the picture. Mu Cang Chai puts on a brand-new coat: chilly and mysterious yet uniquely attractive.
5 mu cang chai tour
Visiting Vietnam Mu Cang Chai, backpackers often travel along the highway 32, cross Nghia Lo, Tu Le, Khau Pha mountain pass before entering the final destination. Recently, after Noi Bai-Lao Cai highway has been opened for public use, many people switch to this route: O Quy Ho mountain pass-Tan Uyen-Than Uyen (Lai Chau)-Mu Cang Chai. New route is longer but the amount of time it takes to travel stays the same thanks to the new road that is larger with many new landscape along you have never seen before.
