The department said the tour would offer tourists the chance to enjoy a
breathtaking sunset panorama and a bird’s eye view of Son Tra peninsula and a
corner of the city from 500m above sea level. Tourists will be taken up the
Mountain Tower on Saturdays and Sundays.
Activities including a BBQ party, music performances, and bar service will be
available for visitors between 6pm and 9pm at the weekend.
Son Tra mountain, which is home to the 2,500ha Son Tra Nature Reserve, 10km
from the city centre, is a popular tourist destination, with 10,000 tourists
visiting the reserve every month.
The Da Nang-based Centre of Biodiversity Conservation, GreenViet, also offers
free tours for students and nature lovers to watch langurs and see the forest
up close as part of an environmental education programme on Sundays.
The well-protected biodiversity also shelters nearly 300 red-shanked douc
langurs, which were declared endangered by the International Union for the
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2013.
The government also approved an area of over 1,000ha in Son Tra Mountains as a
National tourism site between 2025-30, and an eco-tour in the central coastal
region with 3.5 million tourists per year.
The city has approved the plan to protect biodiversity in Son Tra Nature
Reserve towards 2030.

Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT). In recent years, support from central and provincial policies, as well as assistance from non-governmental organisations, have encouraged local ethnic minority and mountainous communities to actively engage in the sector.
Van Son Commune, Tan Lạc district, Hoa Binh province also known as "Cloud Valley," boasts a cool climate, stunning natural landscapes, and majestic scenery. Visitors who have been to this place should make a stop at Chien Hamlet to experience a lot of fascinating things and feel the friendly, warmth of the Muong ethnic people.
Thanks to the effective exploitation of natural landscape and the cultural diversity of ethnic minorities, Hoa Binh province has become an attractive destination for tourists seeking experiences and exploration.
The Department of Cultural Heritage has just coordinated with the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Hoa Binh province to organize a training on implementing the model of the cultural heritage connected in the cultural tourism journey in Cao Phong and Lac Son districts.
The Sung village in Cao Son commune, Da Bac district, is endowed with pristine natural landscape, and Dao Tien ethnic minority community in the village preserves rich cultural heritage, including traditional housing, clothing, language, scripts, customs, and daily life practices. Since the community-based tourism model was introduced in the locality, these traditional cultural values have been further preserved and promoted.
