Hidden in the far north of Vietnam, Cao Bằng seems to be taken from another world. There are almost no tourists, and when you walk through its villages, people still look at you with that mixture of surprise and closeness that is almost never found anymore.
In this image, a river forks between rice fields tinged by the golden light of the sunset... and in the background, the water draws a curious heart shape, as if the landscape had a life of its own.
The karst mountains, shrouded in mist, rise like sleeping giants, with an aesthetic that looks like something out of Dragon Ball.
Cao Bằng is one of those few places that still retain their essence intact. Wild, serene, surprising.
