In the evening, it is very interesting to stay at a mountain hut, sitting around the campfire with a little fire, discussing the upcoming trips.

The most memorable experience is welcoming the first rays of sunshine at the top of Muoi Mountain. The sunshine creates golden light strip stretching from the top of the mountain down the valley, making a majestic and mineralized scene.
