BAI THO MOUNTAIN IN HALONG BAY

Halong Bay is indeed nothing new and strange to everyone. However, everyone is always attracted by its melting charm. Vietnam Here And There will modestly take quick-gentle looks about several outstanding stops of Halong Bay once again.

Bai Tho Mountain located in the heart of Halong City is the first outstanding stop. It is about 106 meters limestone. From a distance, Bai Tho Mountain looks like a great castle with three beautiful towers. Truyen Dang used to be its name for years. It means Light Projecting.

This mountain was a great place for various great people to compose poems about its beauty. In 1468, during his inspection journey to the eastern territory, Kinh Le Thanh Tong (was one of the greatest emperors of Vietnamese history. Under his reign, Vietnamese feudal system did reach at its peak of development) stopped there, wrote a poem and carved into the southern side of the mountain. For this event, the mountain was named as Poem Mountain. In addition, there are other poems on the mountain written by passengers who excited about its view.

At the top of this Mountain, you feel surprised at the breathtaking landscape of Halong Bay. An eye-catching overview of Halong bay will impress you very much. For this feature, Bai Tho Mountain has often been one of the most tempting tourist attractions for those who are really keen on doing rock-climbing when they visit Halong Bay. It is also such a nice place to take photo!
