The mountain climbing event "Footsteps on Clouds" later this month will be an opportunity for Yên Bái Province to publicise its beautiful landscape to larger local and international communities.

The Pháp Luật Việt Nam (Việt Nam Law) newspaper and the Hưng Việt Trading and Tourism Company along with the provincial People's Committee have announced the event slated on September 29 to October 1.

Starting from Sáng Pao Village, the participants will trek about 10km up to the top of the mountain. The 2,980m peak, dubbed the "Roof of Yên Bái", is Việt Nam’s seventh highest and it mesmerizes people with majestic natural scenery.

All journalists participating in the tournament will be supported by the organisers for travel, accommodation and insurance.

Due to the limited room for overnight stays on Tà Chì Nhù, only 100 presspersons could compete in this tournament. In the future, organisers will find more destinations and welcome more participants. A purse of VNĐ150 million (US$6,200) in cash will be awarded to the winners. In addition to the top three winners, the organisers also present awards to the oldest participant and best journalistic works about Trạm Tấu tourism and the event.
