With an altitude of 3046m above sea level, Ky Quan San (Bat Xat district, Lao Cai) ranks 4th in the top 10 highest peaks in Vietnam, after Fansipan, Putaleng and Pusilung.
Ky Quan San's name Bach Moc Luong Tu is a name given by tourists and this is a mistake made by trekkers (hikers) before looking at the correct map, because this mountain peak is very close. with Bach Moc Luong peak (Po Ma Lung 2,967 m) in Phong Tho, Lai Chau.
Conquer the sea of clouds Bach Moc Luong Tu at the end of the year
On April 7, 2018, the Bat Xat district government officially replaced a new stainless steel peak and named the peak Ky Quan San, officially returning the name to this peak. Since then, the name Bach Moc Luong Tu no longer exists. However, among mountain climbing enthusiasts, the name Bach Moc Luong Tu is still rumored as a memory of memorable conquering journeys.
According to experienced trekkers, the best time to explore Ky Quan San is from mid-September to April of the following year, at this time the northern provinces of our country enter the dry season, the weather is cool, it rarely rains. This is also a very beautiful winter time and perfect for climbing. Light golden sunshine, quite blue sky, layers of silver light, making you feel like you are lost on cloud 9.

Ky Quan San is loved by many trekkers, because throughout the journey, this trekking route has created a huge attraction. For the most part, the whole process of conquering Ky Quan San mountain only involves going up and a few flat roads. Therefore, the journey will be divided into 2 quite long and tiring sections: long road (about 2km), and slope from 1600m, with a steep section up to 2100m.
Cham Anh, a female trekker from Thai Nguyen shared: "Ky Quan San is an important milestone that I want and have conquered in 2023. As a girl, when I planned to complete this palace, I had to practice. Exercise a lot, because this journey is quite long and takes a lot of energy, there are many steep sections and the road is quite bad. Fortunately, with the support of the group members, we completed the journey to conquer this mountain peak."
Mr. Ngoc Duc, a tour guide, noted that: "The road to Ky Quan San is not easy, visitors have to cross many corn fields and buffalo pastures of the local Mong people, so it is difficult for you to get caught." Getting dirty in mud is unavoidable. You also have to overcome high mountain peaks and rocky roads along rocky mountain slopes. But if you conquer those things, your journey is very admirable."
Du khách cũng không khỏi cảm thán khi được lên tới đỉnh Ky Quan San, với biển mây bồng bềnh, mang đến cảm giác như được bay lơ lửng giữa bầu trời tưởng chừng như không thể với tới.
"You need to contact in advance to get a referral from the Provincial Military Command if going in the Lai Chau direction before climbing to avoid trouble when meeting border guards," Mr. Duc added.
The average time to climb Ky Quan San is usually 2-4 days. On the 2,100m peak, there is a single camp set up by a group of porters in Sang Ma Sao commune to serve as a place to eat and rest mid-trip for passengers. Trekking groups have only one option: to sleep at this shack if they cannot reach the top of the mountain in time. Here, trekking groups often call to book food and accommodation in advance.
From the camp to the top of Ky Quan San, the terrain changes to cliffs with slopes up to 65 degrees. Visitors who want to climb must cling to the rock holes and trees growing on both sides.
The biggest challenge for tourists is probably the last journey to Ky Quan San. Because at this time, everyone's physical strength is greatly reduced. Crossing steep cliffs full of moss or going through old forests... all cause difficulties for climbers. But from there, they can enjoy the "sweet fruit" of their past arduous efforts until Ky Quan San mountain gradually appears before their eyes.
