Tri Ton: The Heart of Ta Pa

Tri Ton: The Heart of Ta Pa

That Son or “seven famous mountains” is one favourite tourist attraction in Vietnam because of its unbelievably beautiful mountain ranges and thick green fields. And Ta Pa Mountain in An Giang Province is one of these seven peaks, a gorgeous landscape of pure natural beauty.

 

Ta Pa Mountain’s mountain ranges and cliffs in particular resemble castle walls which may be a little strange looking but definitely beautiful. Rock pillars which have a rough surface and different sizes and shapes highlight the whole structure.

 

On top of Ta Pa Mountain is a lake which is frequently visited because of its amazing emerald green colour. It is a by-product of a mining company which used to operate in the area, but it has become a popular destination because of its acquired beauty and naturally breathtaking surroundings. The bottom is a myriad of colours of light blue, black, dark orange and light yellow which appear like a rainbow especially when the sun is shining brightly and the sky is a clear blue.

 

At the foot of Ta Pa Mountain is Tri Ton, striking in its lush rice fields, dense palm trees and other naturally beautiful things characteristic of a countryside scene. The harvest season is an especially festive view in which the rice fields appear golden amid the bright green palm trees. In fact, it’s like a harvest season all throughout the year because the rice grains have a micro-climate variation, therefore becoming ripe at different times. Moreover, they grow in different hues of green and yellow, creating a bright and colourful scene all over.

 

Food at Tri Ton is a pleasant experience because there are both small diners and high-end restaurants, depending on your preference. But it is best to taste the street foods for an authentic experience. All in all, food is delectable and especially cheap.

The road to Tri Ton may be quite challenging because of bumpy roads, construction, traffic and unpredictable weather, but the trip is all worth it because of the indescribable beauty of the whole place once you arrive. Tri Ton is another proof that Vietnam is truly rich in natural beauty, a world-class standard that’s a definite must-visit.
