Mountain 800, or Dai Bang (Eagle) Mountain, in Cuoi Ha commune, Kim Boi
district, is a new destination in Hoa Binh.
Located 75 kilometres from
Hanoi, Dai Bang Mountain is a completely new name on Vietnam’s tourism map and holds
great potential in diversifying Kim Boi’s tourism offerings.
The peak is best suited
for experienced trekkers, as it has many steep slopes and rocky terrain. What
makes it even more attractive to trekkers is the exhilarating experience it
brings, in addition to stunning scenes of Acadia forests, fields of wild
flowers, and a large plateau. Tranquillity, the grandeur of nature, and fresh
air await trekkers reaching the top of the mountain.
It’s also interesting to camp out on the peak, where trekkers can enjoy the
beauty of the land of Muong Dong.
With trails totalling 8 kilometres, Dai Bang Mountain has the potential to
boost local tourism in the future./.
