Ba Vi National Park
Beyond Hanoi’s busy streets and seemingly endless hustle and bustle is Ba Vi National Park -- a slice of paradise, a place for rest and recreation for those taking a break from city life.
Ba Vi National Park is one of Hanoi’s most popular nature sights famous for its rich greenery, towering mountains, and panoramic landscapes and relaxing ambience offered by the lush jungle and tropical rainforest. A famous 11th-century shrine sits on top of Tan Vien — one of Ba Vi’s mountain summits — where tourists and locals visit to pay tribute to the Mountain God and to relish the beautiful view of Red River Valley and beyond. Make the most out of your nature getaway by making a stop at Tan Da Spa, a spa and lodging house offering mud baths, wet steam baths, herbal baths, and a relaxing hot spring to guests.
