Tung was born in Hue and has a passion for sharing beautiful photos of unfamiliar places in this old-time capital. He said this place was loved by many people running through the pass, though not much of it is known to local people and tourists due to the lack of access roads and unexploited tourism. The wildness and newness of this place are what attracts the young man to explore.
The best time to visit these two places is early in the morning when the weather is not too hot or sunny. Visitors may also have a chance to hunt clouds on the pass.
