tram ton pass aka heaven's gate

at the accident site...safety first...better wear our helmets!!!

look how the mountains intersect with each other

the clouds are like cotton blanket covering the mountains

another group photo...my driver really looks blur haha

the gals trying to be funny!!! haha...

weather starting to get nasty...

on our way back to the tram ton pass, our drivers stop us at one very curvy bend...he told us that a tour bus have crashed down the valley here before and several died...we look down the valley and surely the fragmented tour bus can still be seen, leaving a trail all the way down the vally...how scary can it be!!!...we certainly hope we dun add to those statistics haha...the clouds at the tram ton pass now has already cleared...the view there was really breathtaking, i think there is a reason why they called it the "heaven's gate"...tram ton pass is a pass on the north side of fansipan...at 1900m, it is the highest mountain pass in vietnam...aside from the magnificent views, it is also known for its sudden, dramatic shifts in climate, from fog to sunshine (which we have experienced!!!)...we took a break at the roadside stall that we have seen earlier this morning...a few vietnamese tourists stopped over too and joined us to enjoy the strong cold breeze from the tram ton pass...the wind was really cold and i just hid myself inside the tents away from the chill while dawn and myyher tried to take funny photos of them in jumping positions!!!...also the vietnameses were really very fascinated with myyher's digicam haha...whenever she takes it out to take pictures, vietnameses will like crowd around her to admire it...i bet myyher is so proud of her camera haha...
