Hiking to Hang Múa: A Vietnam Gem

Absolutely beautiful, worked up a good sweat climbing to the top

Highly recommended. Magical places.

A must-see place despite the difficulty in reaching it. Prepare yourself with suitable shoes because the descent is really risky, unless you are Vietnamese in slippers.

Not the longest hike ever, but the views from the top were stunning (my advice is to turn left rather than right at the top!). Can easily be traversed by a beginner and there are shops along the way to get water, snacks, etc. Few restaurants at the very bottom where you can rest after going up. Only criticm is that you get hassled by locals just before the main entrance to park your bike and that you "can't go any further". This isn't true. Go to the end!

Costs 100k each there’s “official” bike parking for 10,000 on the right of the entrance. On the road down lots of shop owners will try to walk in front of you to get you to park at their shop, just drive past them. Some of them were advertised as free, whether they actually were or not I don’t know. Ticket included the walk up to the 2 viewpoints and the lilypad lake. There’s also some cafes and small shops to get food/drink. We started going up the steps around 3pm and steps were in the shade so it was a good time to climb. It was still quite busy at 3 and I think it gets even busier around sunset but it would be a good view. Keep in mind the steps are slippy closer to the peak. A lot of people wore the wrong shoes and took them off to climb back down. It took 10 mins to get to top of 1st peak, another 5 mins to get to main peak (with the dragon). A lot of people say it’s a hard climb and were huffing and puffing but it wasn’t that bad in my opinion and I’m no athlete. There’s lots of ledges to take breaks on. If you want to take pictures with the well known dragon then you have to queue. There’s no real form of system to go up people just start forming a line then come back down the same way. The area near the dragon is quite rocky, you can get up to the head fine but then the body has a lot of gaps.
