Tay Con Linh is a mountain range in the west of Ha Giang, although not the highest mountain in Vietnam, the conquest of the Northeast roof seems to be much more difficult than the high peak Fansipan. Because, the road to the Tay Con Linh is far away and has not been shaped into lines as the road to conquer the roof of Indochina, so that Tay Con Linh is worth to try.
