If you love exploring history and nature, Pac Bo (Cao Bang) is a destination worth trying. The first scene that catches your eye is the emerald green Lenin stream, cool and extremely chill. Karl Marx Mountain stands tall next to it, creating a very good virtual living background. Pac Bo Cave is small but full of meaning - where Uncle Ho lived and worked in the first days of his return to the country. Inside, I saw the stone table Uncle Ho used to translate documents, and I suddenly felt slightly moved. The path is easy, can be combined with light trekking. Entrance fee is 20k, parking is cheap, there are a few stalls selling local specialties such as banh xeo, dried bamboo shoots, and dong vermicelli - convenient to buy as gifts, which is also ok. Peaceful space, lots of green trees, suitable for going in the early morning or late afternoon. Remember to bring soft-soled shoes and drinking water because there's a lot of walking. Overall: go once to understand more about history, and relax in the wild nature - worth it!
