A Journey to Discover the Roots!
Phu Tho is a land with a vibrant culture dating back centuries, known for its archaeological sites connected to the origins of the Vietnamese people, a cultural center of the Viet ethnic group – the ancient capital of Phong Chau.
Located 23km from the center of Phu Tho province, the special National Historical Site, Hung Kings Temple (Hy Cuong, Viet Tri City), offers a chance to explore four iconic tourist spots: the Hung Kings Temple on Nghia Linh Mountain, the National Ancestor Lac Long Quan Temple on Sim Mountain, the Mother Au Co Temple on Vant Mountain, and the Hung Kings Museum. These are places where visitors can admire and learn about thousands of years-old artifacts that have been meticulously excavated.
As you ascend Hung Mountain, you'll have the chance to visit the temples dedicated to the mountain gods and the Hung Kings (Lower Temple, Central Temple, and Upper Temple); offer incense at the sacred Thiên Quang Zen Monastery to pray for peace and good fortune. Additionally, visitors can enjoy the sight of the many peculiar and beautiful stalactite caves. Lang Cave, located in Thanh Son district, is a notable example.
Another must-visit spot is Xuân Sơn National Park, spanning 18,369 hectares, known for its rich and diverse ecosystem that maintains a pristine, natural beauty. This is the ideal location for you to experience thrilling forest activities amid the majestic pine forests or challenge yourself with a mountain climbing adventure alongside your companions.
A relaxing trip to Ao Chau Lagoon, known for its crystal-clear, tranquil waters, dotted with around 100 small islands, or immersing yourself in the refreshing waters of Suoi Tien with its colorful pebble beaches, and marveling at the stunning waterfalls are all unforgettable experiences. Phu Tho tourism is also captivating due to its grand festivals, notably the Hung Kings Commemoration Festival.
Moreover, in Phu Tho tourism, visitors can enjoy unique local dishes such as sour pickled young cassava leaves cooked with river shrimp, rice lam, and bánh tai. They can also buy Đoan Hùng grapefruit as souvenirs to bring back for family and friends after the trip.
