Takes just two hours by car from the centre in Hanoi to reach a tourism resort in Tam Dao Town, Vinh Yen Province, 70km north of Hanoi.
Getting all misty-eyed: Looking down on Tam Dao town in Vinh Yen Province, about 70km north of Hanoi.
Tourists are wont to visit this 26,883ha eco-tourism site of the Tam Dao National Park, especially if there is an interest to study ecological environment in the Rung Rinh Peak at over 1,200m above sea level where the ground is covered by a thick layer of leaves.
The expansive, heavily forested mountain, which runs 80km northwest between Son Duong District in Tuyen Quang Province and Me Linh District of Vinh Phuc Province, is home to a wide range of 643 species of fauna and flora, located in a tourism triangle so to speak consisting of Dai Lai Lake, Tam Dao mountain range in Vinh Yen; Tay Thien in Vinh Phuc Province and Nui Coc Lake in Thai Nguyen Province.
