(Baonghean.vn) - Ky Son is a mountainous area with two gates to the north and south of Highway 7, Muong Long and Tay Son. Both of these lands are over 1,400 m above sea level, creating a wild but also majestic and poetic landscape.

| Muong Long Heaven Gate and Tay Son Heaven Gate are both the highest points in the land where the Mong people live. To enter these two areas, you have to pass through the towering Heaven Gate with its cold climate and year-round cloud cover. |
 |
| The road through Muong Long Heaven Gate has towering cliffs, winding along the deep abyss. |
 |
| Looking down from Muong Long Heaven Gate is where the Mong people live. |
 |
| Below the valley are the Mong people's fields with rows of fences made of bright red poinsettias. |
 |
| In this season plum blossoms have begun to bloom on the roofs. |
 |
| Outside the gate of heaven, at the intersection of Muong Long and My Ly, people bring out special cold season products from the highlands to sell. |
 |
| South of Highway 7 is the majestic Tay Son Heaven Gate. After passing this Heaven Gate, the climate becomes bitterly cold. In the photo: From Tay Son Heaven Gate looking down at Muong Xen town. |

 |
| Next to Tay Son Heaven Gate are rows of ancient Mong houses made of sa mu wood. |
 |
| The old mother carried a basket full of sugar cane to the gate of heaven. |
 |
