A British tourist has been hospitalised after he scaled an out-of-bounds rock face in Vietnam and fell while he was taking a selfie.
The man climbed the rock face, which locals refer to as the 'Cliff of Death', in Xeo Sa Lung village, Pai Lung commune, Meo Vac district on March 17.
While taking a selfie in front of the scenic view, he was struck by a rock that fell from above, causing him to fall and badly injure his left leg.
First responders from Pai Lung arrived on the scene and administered first aid. He was then taken to Ha Giang General Hospital by ambulance.
Hospital officials said he was in fairly serious condition, with his left leg crushed in parts and his calf torn.
