Mount Poetry - The Newest Check-In Spot in Ha Long
When mentioning Ha Long, many people immediately think of Ha Long Bay, one of the 7 New Natural Wonders of the World. But this is not the only destination that attracts you when you come to this coastal city.
Recently, a destination that has attracted a lot of visitors both domestically and internationally when coming to Ha Long, Quang Ninh - that is Mount Poetry. Mount Poetry, formerly known as Truyen Dang, after in 1468 when King Le Thanh Tong toured the Northeast coast, He stopped the boat at the foot of the mountain to admire the beautiful scenery and enthusiastically engraved a poem on the rock, from then people are familiar with calling this place Mount Poetry. Although this is not the highest mountain in the city, it has an ideal position for you to enjoy the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from above.
Conquering Mount Poetry is not as difficult or strenuous as many people think. Mount Poetry is only over 200 meters high, you will only take about 30 minutes to reach the mountain top. The best time to come here is early morning and late afternoon. If you intend to watch the sunrise, you should climb from around 4:30 in the morning and around 16:00 if you want to catch the moment of sunset.
A small tip: if you notice signs of fog, it's best not to climb the mountain. You may encounter rain without shelter. Moreover, when the sky is cloudy, visibility is very limited, so when you climb up, it's very difficult to see the scenery below.
* Route:
From the central post office of the city, tourists can easily find their way to climb this mountain.
- Go straight along Le Thanh Tong Street to Hang Noi Street when you see the sign for Nam Phong Cafe.
- Turn onto the opposite street. The way to Mount Poetry must go through a quite narrow alley and pass through local houses here. You should ask the locals here and they will enthusiastically show you the way in.
- At the foot of the mountain is the family of a middle-aged man who is taking care of this area, if the gate is locked, you can call him to open the gate. You can park your vehicle right at the beverage shop at the beginning of the alley or take your vehicle to the area near Ha Long Market.
Remember to bring along a few bottles of spring water because during the ascent to the mountaintop, no matter what the weather, you will sweat and feel thirsty.
