Visiting the night market is an essential activity for every trip, isn't it? Strolling through the night market to feel the cool, peaceful, and romantic atmosphere of Tam Dao. When the streets light up, the houses close their doors, and the windows light up, you'll surely see a completely different Tam Dao from the bustling city; at this time, Tam Dao becomes strangely peaceful.

From bracelets, backpacks, snacks, to gifts... everything is available in this charming little corner of the night market. This is Tam Dao's nighttime paradise.

Tam Dao Night Market is small, with only about a dozen stalls. You can enjoy snacks like fried sweet potatoes, grilled eggs, various types of cakes, grilled food, and hotpot. For hotpot, it's best to go to the centrally located restaurants that are spacious and comfortable. All the stalls are good, but be sure to ask about the prices beforehand. Since dining at night seems to be more expensive, make sure you're comfortable with the prices before deciding on something. It's also more cost-effective to go in a group. A little tip for you: the roasted peanuts and grilled eggs at Tam Dao night market are incredibly delicious; you might be amazed.

Leaving the ancient church, go straight down about 500m, right to a roundabout where you'll find the colorful TAM DAO letters. This is the brand-new, incredibly spacious, and stunningly beautiful Tam Dao Square - perfect for photo opportunities. If you want to mark your travel map with memorable photos, this is the place to do it. Just look at the huge colorful letters, and everyone will know you've set foot in this misty land, right?

There are some small sitting areas here, with swings, trees, and grass carpets to create unique photo opportunities.

The Ancient Stone Church is the most famous sightseeing spot in Tam Dao tourist area. With its ancient Western architecture, mixed with modern decoration and sparkling lights at night, shrouded in mist during the day as if touching the sky - this is exactly the 'virtual check-in' address sought after by virtual life enthusiasts. The church is located right in the center, very easy to find; just take a walk around and you can find it magnificently amidst the Tam Dao mountains.

Standing on the church, looking down below is a whole Tam Dao transforming vigorously, beautifully, and splendidly, with towering stairs seeming to connect the ground to the clouds. Walking up those exhausting stairs leads to a paradise of stunning scenery. The stacked stones resembling ancient architecture, the tiled roof, and the entire church covered in ancient gray as cold and lonely as the Tam Dao weather at night. Surely this will be the place to create beautiful photos for you. A whole European sky is within your reach. At the foot of the church, there are also a few small grilled food stalls where you can enjoy a little before moving on to another place.

Also, along the way to the television tower, just over 100 steps, much lighter, right? So there's no reason for you to miss out on the super hot attraction Goddess of the Mountain Temple. On both sides of the path are lush green bamboo forests, tall and captivating like in Chinese historical dramas. Many photo shoots have been taken along this short path of just 100 steps. The scenery is incredibly beautiful, as if stepping back in time. Stepping into the bamboo forest feels like traveling through time, a very strange feeling indeed.

The temple is quite large, with a solemn and tranquil atmosphere inside. After visiting the temple, you will also feel the harmonious architecture with the mountainous scenery, as if hiding away from the bustling urban life. People often visit the temple sincerely to pray for love, education, and health. The locals say the temple is very sacred, so tourists who come here never miss paying their respects. At the foot of the temple are a few small stalls selling local specialties of Tam Dao, such as preserved plums and cakes. The prices are quite cheap, and you can try su su cakes and preserved plums there.

Continuing the route, turn left and go about another 700 meters uphill from the square is the Television Tower. This is also a decent spot for photo check-ins that backpackers have discovered for a long time. It's surprising how seemingly dry technology can become romantic in the frame, isn't it? To climb the tower, you'll need to climb 1000 steps. The lush greenery on both sides makes for great photo opportunities. After climbing 1000 steps and almost breaking your legs, the result is super satisfying. The unique blend of natural beauty and modernity attracts many visitors, especially young people.

A photo taken from a high point, overlooking the panoramic view of Tam Dao as if standing on a castle tower is what many people share when visiting the Television Tower. If you have the chance to visit Tam Dao, you definitely have to take a picture here. The space feels like a fairytale garden.

Opposite the Rock Cafe, you'll see the Sky Gate. Here, you can observe the panoramic view of Tam Dao, with clouds and mountains creating a picturesque scene, just like in a watercolor painting. True to its name, stepping here feels like standing at the boundary between heaven and earth, as if you're at the gateway to the sky, where you can climb to the edge of the sky, always curious, always wishing. The horizon ahead is always romantic, beautiful, and captivating. It's a magnificent portrayal of the harmony between nature and humanity.

The Sky Gate is most beautiful when there's light mist, so if you can wake up early, you should visit it first thing in the morning to see its full beauty. The light clouds and mist drifting slowly will make you forget all the tiredness and stress of daily life, allowing you to relax, reflect, and rest. For young travelers, checking in at the Sky Gate is an essential photo of the trip. Also, don't forget to visit Tam Dao town with its vast fields of green bamboo shoots, which will surely bring many new and exciting experiences for you.

Although Silver Waterfall is located in the central area, it can be quite tricky to find if you're visiting for the first time, so be sure to ask the locals. They'll kindly show you the way, which is actually quite easy. However, drinks here are quite expensive, so bring your own water. Especially, you should carry a pair of flip-flops in your backpack because this place is wet, and shoes can get wet easily. Change your shoes when climbing the waterfall to feel the cool, clear water here. It's called Silver Waterfall partly because of the silvery water shimmering and splashing white foam throughout the waterfall area. If you enjoy exploring adventurous places and need a bit of effort to find them, then Silver Waterfall is waiting for you to visit. The distinctive feature of Silver Waterfall is the unique climate and weather, with spring, summer, autumn, and winter only a few hours apart instead of a few months like other places in the Northern region. Visitors here will always enjoy an absolutely fresh and cool atmosphere without being too cold or too hot like other places, even though it's just a few kilometers away.

If you have time, follow the trail, descend into the deep valley, and you'll see Silver Waterfall formed by Mo, Bac, and Tien streams. The waterfall hides in the deep mountains, pouring down into the green water stream, clear from a height of 30 meters. From a distance, the waterfall looks like a strip of silver splashing white foam. Under the sun, the water surface shines golden, making the scenery even more mysterious and sparkling.

Furthermore, those who are passionate about exploring the diverse ecosystem of nature should not miss Tam Dao National Park. It's a valuable national treasure, a reserve of precious plant and animal gene sources of Vietnam. At the same time, it has great value in environmental protection, water regulation and supply, and scientific research…

Located about 1.5km from the town, this is considered the most 'so deep' check-in spot with Tam Dao's mountains and forests. Follow the map available on Google Maps or ask locals for directions, and it takes about 1 hour by motorbike to reach the National Park. Locals here often refer to it as Tam Dao 2. From here, you can choose various routes for exploration, such as climbing the three peaks of Tam Dao, visiting the Natural Park, Dat Phong Lan Forest, Cloud Hill, Ma - Ao Dua Forest, and more.

You might stroll along mysterious bamboo forest paths... or wander beside moss-covered streams and climbing vines, feeling like you're in a fairy tale world.

Moss grows almost from the tree roots to the tree crowns, creating a mystical, ethereal beauty.

Camping in the forest is also a very exciting and memorable experience. However, you must note that camping is only allowed in designated areas authorized by the Management Board, and absolutely no littering or fires are permitted. This is definitely a must-visit destination for adventure enthusiasts, trekkers, and mountain climbers!!!
