Hello Hivers!
It has been a long time to be here to enjoy the moment with all of you. Life is too busy to do such a thing that I have done in the past. I still do not have more free time to do write and build my blog. I truly miss the time I enjoy here.
Today, on the occasion of climbing the mountain with my friends - the thing I quited from 2016. This is the second time I comeback to Ba Den mountain (located in Tay Ninh province, it took about 2 hours from Ho Chi Minh City to get here), the scene and landscape is not different from the past except the view on the top of mountain.
My team has 6 members, I know them from my friend, and from my friend, they organize this trip then asked for more people joining. I am the only one who cannot speak Chinese language in our team, however, it did not make the trip less more fun or interesting. 5 people in my team has two blood, 2 from Maylaysia, and 3 people from Vietnam with Chinese origin.
There are 2 way to climb the top of Ba Den mountain, one is following the power lines from the foot of mountain and the rest of it is following the pagoda on the mountain.
The Ba Den mountain is about 986 meters high. This is the highest mountain in the South-Central area, that is why this is the most optimal choice for youngsters and climbers who love to practise to get more skill and strength for climbing another higher mountain.
We start at 9 a.m from the footh of mountain. By following the power line, we have prepared 2 litres of water and some cake, candy for each person, cause there is no grocery on the way. At the first step, we are in high enthusiatic and very excited without any feeling of tiring and exhausting. My friends start talking, sharing their story with a lot of laughs.
Inside the forest, a thousand of mango and banana trees grown everywhere. It is in the season of 2 fruits, therefore, no wonder the green mangos are heavy on the branches. Luckily, mango is one of my cup of tea. My team refuse to eat it just because of the sourness. It sounds antiscientific that eating the young mango helps me climb faster to the mountain lol.
Climbing this mountain, beside enjoying the great view and fresh air, I can make the most of the rock topography. It is still untouched and being exploited by human.
It has 117 utility poles in total on the way going to the peak of mountain. The slope seems like higher from the middle way, my team starts exhausted quickly and the legs being heavy and tiring many times. We love to stop and wait for each other _
Finally, we reach to the top of Ba Den mountain after 4 hours of climbing. Everyone is so eager when think about enjoying the food and drink to recover the energy which has lost before.
Our weekend has gone like that, a small joy can create a big one if we respect every moment. ^^ Thank you all for reading my blog today. A new week is about to come, have fun and enjoy it.
