Attractions of Halong Bay #14 Bai Tho Mountain

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Bai Tho Mountain offers the best views of Halong bay without booking an expensive helicopter or seaplane flight. To be fair, it’s more of a hill than a mountain but such is the way of things in Vietnam. There is a flight of steps to carry you to the top although the entrance to them is not easy to find.

The staircase begins on Hang Noi St in the centre of Halong City. If you get a taxi here then ask the locals, you be fine. It takes a relatively fit person about 30 minutes to climb to the top, but you will not be disappointed.

This is just one of the many attractions that you’ll find in the city itself. Halong Bay is a must for any traveller visiting Vietnam.

I have been developing the InSeAsia website for three years. It genuinely is a labour of love. I have lived in Southeast Asia for 9 years and have no plans to ever leave.

I am extremely grateful to anyone who follows me, up votes, comments or re-steems my work.

Come and check me out. If ever you come to Saigon, Vietnam get in touch and we can meet up.

Wow. how much is the height?
I think from the top we can look whole city

It's only 200 metres high. Vietnam calls every hill a mountain. I'm not sure whether it is merely lost in translation or an exaggeration. lol. Thanks for the comment.
