Bathing in the stream on the Tay Con Linh range

Springs flowing from above to below are usually safer than springs flowing on flat terrain. Because that flow has a high acceleration, water flows continuously, so there is no phenomenon of "soaking fallen forest leaves" creating the toxic water of lam sơn chướng khí.

Readers have known about the ancient village of Xa Phin moss roof (Phuong Tien commune, Tuyen Quang province) in a memoir published in Lao Dong last weekend, today, let's enjoy the pleasure of bathing in streams on the fresh streams flowing through the village from the top of Tay Con Linh.

Xa Phin village is nestled under the majestic Tay Con Linh peak, covered with fog all year round. The winding road like a silk strip with stilt houses with mossy palm roofs. The friendliness and hospitality of the people blend with the traditional cultural features imbued with identity.

Located at an altitude of 2,427m above sea level, Tay Con Linh peak is known as the roof of the Northeast region. Xa Phin is located on the road to conquer Tay Con Linh peak, so this place is very suitable for ecotourism, exploration, and experience.

Although this place is covered with mist and smoke all year round, with high humidity, there are also hot days. Following Mr. Cuong, a young Dao man who both makes tea and provides homestay services, I groped through the forest on steep, small trails like goat intestines to bathe in streams.

The atmosphere is secluded, only sometimes startled by the sound of wild birds flapping their wings, stirring up the tranquility of the old forest. But thanks to that almost silent space, the sound of waterfalls rushing down and the murmur of streams only reaches people's ears, becoming signal waves to guide the way.

From the beginning of Xa Phin village gate, it takes about 45 minutes of walking through the forest to reach the stream where villagers often bathe. It is a stream with quite good flatness, so it can flow water into a puddle, however, the flow rate is still quite high.

Above, a waterfall forms when the stream flows and meets vertical cliffs, pouring white foam onto stone blocks as big as buffaloes. It is not known how long the interaction between water and stone has taken place, but every stone block is polished and smooth, without a bit of moss.

The waterfall rushed down, encountering a flat stream bed, so it slowed down, forming a puddle that at first glance looks flat like a mirror but is actually still drifting. Water flowed through a simple bridge made of forest wood, then continued downstream, creating other waterfalls.

Seeing the clear water, no one could hold back their hearts, quickly changed clothes and rushed into the cool water of the alley to chill their hearts. The outdoor temperature was about 30 degrees Celsius, but due to the high humidity when going through the forest, everyone was sweaty, feeling like 35 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, it must be said how delightful it is to soak in water that is probably only 20 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference makes the pores tighten, a feeling of chills passes by, full of excitement. Comfort and happiness when the heat, the stuffiness disappears as never before, all over the body is just a gentle, cherished feeling.

Water erodes rocks, that saying has never been as true as it is now. Drifting in the cool water, looking with the eyes, you can see that at the bottom and on the bank is a kind of sand that is not smooth but evenly round. It turns out that those are the pieces of rock that were stripped off by stream water into thousands of grains and then smoothed.

After soaking for a long time, we groped to the foot of the waterfall, raising our backs to endure the punching. Each mass of water poured down on our backs like squeezing hands, making the muscles soft, and all fatigue also blurred into water and melted away. Guaranteed, the massage experience with poured water is more interesting and effective than any type of human jacuzzi.

Water flows, water vapor flies, sunlight falls, creating shimmering rainbows that suddenly become and disappear. And the hot sun, irritable and irritable mood also disappears. It's all thanks to the clear, pure stream water in the Tay Con Linh range!.
