The sunrise and sunset are the best time to admire Bac Son ripening paddy fields. While the sunset brings the nostalgia feeling, the sunrise leaves tourists with freshness in the airy atmosphere, according to VOV.
Those who wish to embrace the sunrise have to climb Na Lay Mountain with more than 1,200 stone steps from 3 a.m. Tourists should not climb the mountain after rainy nights since stone steps are extremely slippery.
