Tam Dao, Vinh Phuc

Tam Dao, known as the “city in the mist” is one of the destinations in the vicinity of Hanoi that attracts a large influx of Hanoians, especially the young ones.

Tam Dao is only around a 2-hour-motorbike ride away from Hanoi. It’s basically not so much of a place to dive into entertainment sports or activities, but rather a tranquil place where one can enjoy the quietness and fresh air and forget all about the daily hustle.

If you can, you’d better rent a “luxurious” resort to fully take in the peace of the mountainous area.
