Photographer Pham Huy Trung, who lives in Ho Chi Minh City, visited Death Valley, located between the states of California and Nevada, last December. The tour lasted about 3 hours, passing through some of Death Valley's main destinations.
It is the largest national park in the lower 48 states and the driest in the United States. It also holds the world record for the hottest air temperature ever recorded in the United States (56.7 degrees Celsius) on July 10, 1913.
Pictured is the Mesquite Flats - the most famous sand dunes in this valley. What makes the Mesquite Flats special is the "shadow" show of the sun at sunset or sunrise. Visitors can see long, dark shadows winding across the vast area. Besides, visitors here can also experience sandboarding.
The red patches on the rocks were captured by a Vietnamese photographer while traveling on the 14 km long Artist's Drive in Death Valley.
After about 8 km of driving, the Artist's Palette area will gradually appear before your eyes with strange color patches on the rock mountain. This is the result of the oxidation of metal and some other elements, forming all kinds of colors from purple, blue, red or green.
The rocks are green due to minerals and lighting effects.
Wildflowers cover a corner of the valley with majestic mountains in the background. According to Trung, December is not the best time to visit Death Valley, but the weather is pleasant and not as harsh as summer.
"The scenery is captivating and breathtaking, I was stunned by the overwhelming nature here," he said.
Badwater Basin, a vast salt flat at the bottom of the valley, is also a popular tourist attraction. At 280 feet (86 meters) below sea level, Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America.
The sunlight highlights the contours of the rocks in the valley.
The hazy scene was captured by the photographer as the mountain ranges appeared and disappeared behind the sand dunes.
Standing on the top of Zabriskie, Vietnamese tourists can admire the panoramic view of the valley with canyons, cliffs, winding folds dyed in yellow, red, brown and pink sunset.
Colorful rocks are characteristic of this valley.
The Vietnamese photographer said this was his first time in Death Valley so he had not researched much about good angles. He hopes to come back again to take better photos.
