Vietnam’s tranquility appears stunning under professional lenses

Photographer Cao Ky Nhan, a native of Phu Yen, is well-known for his beautiful photos capturing Vietnam’s landscapes and people. This photo series was taken during his recent trips to introduce photography lovers to the beauty of loneliness and quietness across the country.

Nhan said that in early January 2021, Lao Cai’s highlands were hit by a bried cold wave. When hearing the news, he went to Lao Cai to hunt for snow and was lucky to admire the first snowflakes that fell on Nhiu Co San mountain area.

In the early morning, the mist covers the tea fields, stretching endlessly, leaving an impressive scene. “I love to travel to the mountains, open my heart to nature, find a little calm in my soul, and think about life. Therefore, I took this photo set,” Nhan said. (Photo: VN Express)

If you want to take photos of the Milky Way, you should choose a night with clear skies, no moon, and no clouds, and the observation area should not be interfered with by urban lights,” Nhan said.
