Cycling to Dong Mo Lake and Ba vi National Park
Cycling around Dong Mo Lake and Ba Vi Mountain provides a refreshing outdoor experience close to Hanoi, offering a blend of nature, tranquility, and physical activity.
Ba Vi Mountain is not just about cycling; there are also hiking trails, temples, and botanical gardens to explore.
This’s a hidden gem that most tourists overlook, as it’s not included in typical travel agency itineraries: Thay Pagoda and Ba Vi National Park. Located 60 km from Hanoi, the imposing Ba Vi mountain range, with its three peaks culminating at 1276 m, dominates the Delta landscape. Once a retreat for the French seeking respite from the delta’s heat and humidity, it offers tranquility and natural beauty..
