Tours and activities in Thanh Hoa

Thanh Hoa is located in northern Vietnam about 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Hanoi,the capital of the country. The city is surrounded by many scattered rocky mountains. The Ma River is one of the longest of the region, meandering around Ham Rong mountain before flowing to South East Asian sea.

One of the main attraction in the city is the temple of Bà Triệu or temple of Lady Trieu (Bà meaning "Lady") which opens with a triple door, and was founded under the Ly dynasty. The current buildings date from the 18th century with artificial lotus ponds and flower beds.

Almost 16 km away from Thanh Hoa, you can find the Sam Son beach, one of the most popular beach resort in the north. During summer the place is filled with weekenders coming from hanoi or with locals escaping the city's warmth. The Ben En National Park is also not to missed if you are visiting Northern Vietnam. The park has a vast and diverse system of lakes, caves, mountains and forest that is utilized to develop ecotourism.
