Tam Dao
Only 80 km from Hanoi, Tam Dao is known as the "Da Lat of the North" thanks to its cool climate and winding roads in the mist. Visitors can climb the TV tower, visit the Silver Waterfall, and visit the ancient stone church.

In the evening, Tam Dao night market is bustling with rustic grilled dishes, creating a relaxing and attractive experience. Tam Dao is suitable for 1-2 day trips, both short and enough to recharge your energy.

Moc Chau
190 km from Hanoi, Moc Chau is a plateau with cool weather all year round, ideal for a 2-3 day vacation. Visitors can stroll on the green tea hills, visit Dai Yem waterfall or Ban Ang pine forest.

Depending on the season, Moc Chau brings its own beauty: plum and peach blossoms from January to March; white mustard flowers in November; winter is the time when strawberry gardens are ripe. This plateau attracts many families and groups of young people thanks to its diverse landscape and developed tourism services.

Cuc Phuong National Park
Located about 150 km from Hanoi, Cuc Phuong National Park is an ideal destination for those who love nature and trekking. This is the oldest nature reserve in Vietnam with a rich ecosystem, suitable for trekking through the forest, cycling under the canopy or joining a tour to see animals at night.

In particular, the butterfly season from April to May creates a brilliant scene like in a fairy tale. Visitors can stay at communal stilt houses, camping areas or eco-lodges in the garden.

Dong Lam Grassland
Only about 110 km from Hanoi, Dong Lam grassland still retains its pristine beauty, with green valleys, clear lakes, custard apple orchards full of fruit and vast corn fields.

Visitors can cycle through the village roads, row a boat on the lake or simply sit and enjoy the view. In custard apple season (August - September), the sweet taste of the fruit makes this place even more attractive.

Dong Chuong Lake
Nestled in the middle of a vast pine forest, Dong Chuong Lake is a little-known but very peaceful destination. Around the lake there is a road more than 10 km long, suitable for walking or cycling.

Visitors can picnic, go boating or fishing. Because tourism services are limited, Dong Chuong Lake still retains its tranquility, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a truly "healing" place.

Note:
For a convenient trip, visitors should choose a destination within a 200km from Hanoi, prepare light clothes and comfortable sports shoes. For places with limited services, bringing snacks and drinks will help make the trip more complete.
