According to Time and Date , a global website for time and time zones, sky gazers in the world’s most populated areas such as Eastern and Central Africa, Oceania, and Asia will be able to witness the penumbral lunar eclipse. In Ho Chi Minh City, the penumbral lunar eclipse will start at 22:14 on Friday and reach its maximum at 0:22 the next day. The event will end at 2:31 on Saturday.

Hau Chu Ngai is about 7 kilometers from the center of Sapa Town and located at more than 1,600 meters above sea level. Tourism in Hau Chu Ngai has not been developed much. The road leading to Hau Chu Ngai is difficult to negotiate as it is narrow and bumpy. Along the roadside, Hau Chu Ngai seems to contain a whole valley of clouds, making tourists feel like they are immersed in an endless sea of clouds. However, this can limit driving visibility. The days with low temperatures, high humidity and sunshine are ideal for successful “cloud hunting” moments. These days, Hau Chu Ngai appears impressive with a vast sea of white clouds. Dawn and dusk are the ideal times for hunting clouds.
