The dinosaur spine-shaped rock ridge atop a mountain in De Xu Phinh Commune, Mu Cang Chai District, Yen Bai Province, has become a popular destination for tourists seeking picturesque landscapes.

Located approximately 19 kilometers southeast of Mu Cang Chai Town, the ridge is a precarious geological formation resembling a dinosaur’s spine, drawing visitors for trekking and sightseeing.

Although less renowned than the ‘dinosaur spine’ formations in Binh Lieu (Quang Ninh Province) and Ta Xua (Son La Province), this site captivates tourists with its majestic mountainous scenery and dense forests. The narrow, rugged trail enhances its appeal, standing out against the natural beauty of Mu Cang Chai in Vietnam’s northernmost mountainous region. Mu Cang Chai is known for its breathtaking landscapes across several communes, including La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha, De Xu Phinh, Kim Noi, Mo De, and Lao Chai.
