I traveled by this bus from Nghĩa Lộ town to Mù Cang Chải town. The distance is only 100km but we had to travel for 5 hours as the driver stopped many times on the way, plus time for landslide treatment on Khau Phạ pass. As you can see there are banana and rubber pipe on the top of the bus.

Meaning of Mu-cang-chai?
Hi, MuCangChai is a famous name of our land,so happy for people who left the footprints on the land even it is a remote and poor town! however do you know the meaning of Mu-Cang-Chai in Vietnamese? (For example: just recently i knew, Ma-Pi-Leng,a name of a moutain in Ha giang, means "a horse breathes hard/audibly" during it's hardly passing the mountain)
