Bai Tho Mountain Information
Overview: Bai Tho Mountain is a place that many tourists want to conquer. The journey to discover Bai Tho mountain will bring many interesting experiences with different levels of emotions.
Location: Bai Tho Mountain is a famous Ha Long tourist destination for adventure lovers. The mountain has an altitude of over 200m, located right in the center of Ha Long city and very close to the sea, so moving here is extremely easy. This is a “masterpiece" that “mother nature" has bestowed on the mining land.
From Bai Tho mountain, you can feel the poetic beauty of Ha Long Bay that can not be seen anywhere else. Because of that, there have been many famous “poems" born, inspired by the blue sea and high mountains here, especially the poem on Bai Tho mountain in Chinese characters by King Le Thanh Tong.
Not only is it a famous sightseeing place, but Bai Tho mountain is also a relic of the culture and history of our nation. In the past, when the Nguyen Mong invaders invaded the Bach Dang River, Bai Tho Mountain held a strategic position, allowing our troops to monitor the enemy’s every move and promptly report it to the capital by lighting a fire. Therefore, the old name of Bai Tho mountain is Truyen Dang mountain.

Bai Tho Mountain Peak: After a little bit of walking, you will be “compensated" by the unspeakable beauty on the top of Bai Tho mountain. In front of you will be Ha Long Bay, a very different Ha Long city, much more poetic and lyrical. You will be able to zoom out further to see the whole bay and city more beautiful, clearer with many interesting things that no other location can see.
Flag Pillar: You will be able to see with your own eyes the red flag with a yellow star that has been flown at this historic location since the years of the war against the French. It will be meaningful if the group of friends together “salute the flag" or put their right hand on their heart and sing the national anthem of their country. Also, don’t forget to leave your mark here with beautiful photos!
Historical relice: At the top of the mountain, there is a stone stele marking the national history, you can find out more information about the history of Bai Tho mountain and check in “virtual living".
Panoramic view of Halong bay: Maybe you have traveled to Ha Long a lot but you will never be able to see the whole city from Bai Tho mountain. From the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the poetic bay like a watercolor painting: the blue watermarked by clouds, undulating mountains, or large and small ships… It will not be “exaggerated" to say that you can compose poetry or paint a picture while standing here.
Trip experience: Conquering Bai Tho mountain is not too difficult, but you should also pay attention to some issues to make the trip complete.
The best time for you to climb Bai Tho mountain is from November to April next year. This is the dry season, the sky is clear and cloudy, and it rarely rains, so your road will be convenient.
You should equip yourself with basic climbing equipment such as a raincoat, drinking water, insect spray, flashlight, comfortable shoes, sweat-absorbent clothes, towel, and hat. Don’t forget to bring your phone and camera to capture the beautiful moments here.
Do not arbitrarily eat the fruit in the forest because it is likely that there are poisonous plants that affect health.
Prepare your endurance for climbing and be in good spirits.
Indeed, Bai Tho mountain is a destination worth conquering. Please refer to the suggestions and experiences on the journey to explore this mountain and prepare a suitable plan for you! There are many things waiting for you, wish you a pleasant experience with the most favorable trip.
