Nothing special. Ticket price is high compared to the relic site

Ça vaut le coup!! Entrée à 100.000vnd, pour le parking (vélo, moto) allez jusqu’au bout sur le site officiel vous paierez moins chère. Notre expérience: 5.000vnd / vélo dans le parking du mont, dans le parking littéralement juste avant, un « garde » demandé 10.000vnd/ vélo.

- Sightseeing spot worth going - Follow Google Maps carefully and be careful of the wrong direction leading to a house with the same name. - Buy tickets at the gate for 100k/person - In this area there are many resort rooms for daily rental. - Going up and climbing the mountain stairs has 2 directions to 2 peaks, there are many beautiful check-in corners down there.
