Tam Dao is very well-known among not only Vietnamese people but international tourists due to its quite unique nature, combining with cool climate and very fresh air, making it a truly suitable place for relaxing moments as well as really great photo shoots. Now, it’s the time for us to take a quick look at some important features of this land right below here.
In fact, Tam Dao refers to “three islands”. It’s a wide mountain range and sometimes considered as a “little Sa Pa” thanks to the region’s high and the cool climate. Particularly, this land is sited about 75 km away from the center of Hanoi that’s significantly shorter as compared to the distance from the capital to Sa Pa. So, it’s very easy to be accessed with just about 1 hour of driving to get there, bringing out a very big competitive advantage for this Vietnam‘s northern land as becoming a popular tourist destination across the country.
Tam Dao National Park totally covers about 36,883 hectares with over 23,000 hectares of forests, which is the house of at least 2000 plant and 840 animal species, including many endemic and valuable ones, bringing out a relatively enormous variety of ecosystems as well as very high biodiversity. Come to visit this destination, tourists will have the chance to see rare flora species like Erythrophlocum fordii, Madhuca pasquier, Podocarpus nerlifolius, polocarpus fleuryi, and many other things, together with very valuable fauna such as snake-headed fish, wood grouses, white-cheeked black monkey, silver pheasant, and so on. That’s really well worth for a visit, especially if you are looking for a great ecotourism place.
Additionally, the local specialties seem so numerous that we can’t fail to mention to the two ones of Lon Man and Su Su. While Lon Man’s a very special type of pork, Su Su, actually, is a tasty vegetable that you should not miss out as having time coming there someday.
