Dragon Jaw Mountain
From the very start of the hike and onward, the scenery around you is nothing short of breathtaking, although none can compare to the panoramic view that awaits at the top of this mountain. You obtain a fairytale feeling while standing at the top of Dragon Jaw Mountain: beneath you lies the quaint town of Sapa surrounded by valleys, rice fields with colonies of staircases, and rolling hills. In the distance, there lies the powerful range of Hoàng Liên Sơn, which overflows to meet the eye and has a majestic scene of nature.
Other magical moments of this trek are definitely “cloud hunting." Standing right on its summit, soft clouds swirl into your feet, making you feel as if you walked in the sky. Clouds slowly tear apart to show breathtaking instances of the landscape beneath, making it a perfect photo opportunity for nature photographers or anyone who wants to capture the surreal beauty of the mountain peaks. For many, this surreal experience is the highlight of the Conquer Dragon Jaw Peak journey.
You are not just walking through nature as you trek up Dragon Jaw Peak but treading the ancient ground filled with history and myth. The mountain is named after a legendary dragon in local folklore, one deeply steeped within the cultures of the Hmong and the Dao ethnic groups that have been living a long time in this region.
Because of this, the story goes that two dragons lived on this mountain range. In one tragic tale of separation, one dragon waited for his mate and turned to stone, and hence Dragon Jaw Peak came alive. The fact that this story is passed on through generations makes the landscape mystique and culturally important. While he leads you higher up the mountain, he’ll keep sharing other local legends like these, actually connecting you to the rich heritage that makes this trek so unique.
To the local ethnic tribes, Dragon Jaw Peak is more than just a mountain; it’s a metaphor for resilience and heritage. The trek along this route is one of reaching back to that history, going right to the core of Sapa’s cultural identity. It is one of those journeys that combine the physical with deep, enriching cultural experiences, making Sapa Tours to Conquer Dragon Jaw Peak truly special.
Thach Lam Stone Garden
If the views and cultural significance aren’t enough, the trip to Conquer Dragon Jaw Peak is a treat for nature lovers, too. The biodiversity here is simply spectacular. Visit in spring and colorful wildflowers will greet you by lining your path, their colors painting the landscape with hues of red, pink, and yellow. These flowersíĘí show in all their glory in the cool and mountainous climate of Sapa, offering a showy seasonal spectacle not to be missed.
The most interesting moments of the trek are Hàm Rồng Orchids Garden, with its over 200 species of orchids in fantastic displays of elegance and color. These rare orchids occur only in this region, and many trekkers easily get arrested at this site because of its beauty. Delicate flowers like these need cool, misty air, and therefore this stop has been favored by many trekkers and nature photographers.
Further ahead, you will have the famous Vườn Đá Thạch Lâm-the Stone Garden. Right here, big stone formations rise dramatically from the earth, their jagged shapes hewn like the scales of a dragon. In this natural wonder, one nearly feels out of this world, as though the rocks themselves were sculpted by ancient forces. This is right for a brief rest and some amazing photos that will make your trek to conquer Dragon Jaw Peak simply unforgettable.

08:00 – 09:00: Start the Trek
We start with our trek into excitement quite literally-just above the bustling town, as we enter the serene mountain trails. The initial stretches of the trek rise upwards in a mild ascent so that the altitude can be coped with gradually and the fresh, crisp air imbibed.

This is one of the most photogenic stops on the trek, and those towering stones give a great backdrop to your adventure photos.
10:30 – 11:30: Cloud Hunting at Sân Mây and Check-in at Cổng Trời
Now the magic begins! Soon, we will arrive at Sân Mây, or Cloud Yard, one of the most favorite spots along the trek to get in contact with a mystique sea of mist right underneath your feet, standing above the cloud. It is just the right place for “cloud hunting," with the moving clouds revealing spectacular views of Sapa’s valleys and mountains down below.
Further down a short hike is the iconic Cổng Trời-heaven’s gate-one that offers panoramic views of the entire area. It is, in fact, a photographer’s dream here. Take a minute to check in and capture unforgettable scenes of your Conquer Dragon Jaw Peak adventure.
11:30 – 12:30: Lunch and Rest

12:30 – 14:00: Conquer the Summit of Dragon Jaw Peak
Now, at the moment of the day, we are going to make our final climb to conquer Dragon Jaw Peak. The higher we climb, the more challenging the trail becomes, but it is well worth it. At 2,000 meters above sea level, one stands at the peak, with 360-degree views of the Tây Bắc mountain ranges rising, with local villages nestled in the valleys, and the iconic rice terraces that define this region. It’s a moment of pure triumph as you soak in the awe-inspiring beauty around you.
Well, now that we’re headed down, the fun is not over yet! We shall be taken to several other viewing areas from here, namely: Twelve Zodiac Statues-a specially brewed collection of stone sculptures to represent the 12 animals of the zodiac; and finally, the Peach Gardens where the vibrantly colored blooms catch the riot of hues around a mountainous backdrop. That’s just the grand finale to bid adieu to your Conquer Dragon Jaw Peak journey.

We go down to Sapa, full of adventure in our hearts and cameras filled with pictures.
