Binh Huong is a mountain range in Uong Bi (Uông Bí) City, Quang Ninh Province, located in Vang Danh (Vàng Danh) Ward. Some tourists know Binh Huong as a "miniature Da Lat" because of its pristine mountainous terrain and fresh climate mixed with cool pine trees.

The vast hills beneath the yellow-burning grass in Binh Huong (Bình Hương) are popular check-in points for Quang Ninh youth and tourists from all over.

Binh Huong Peak appears with its own image at different times of the year. When the green grass turns yellow at the end of the year, it's the perfect time to visit a charming and poetic corner of Quang Ninh.

Visitors can see the horizon from the top of the hill, with undulating mountains in the distance. Closer inspection revealed a soft golden spreading grass at the foot of the pine hill. The endless layers of burning grass add to a hilly area's wildness and minerality. All of this contributes to a serene, serene, and liberated atmosphere.

The pale yellow color of the field blends with the gentle sunlight of early morning sunrises. Because it is late in the afternoon, the atmosphere is romantic.

Visitors who are fortunate enough to visit Binh Huong on clear days with few clouds can also enjoy a panoramic view of the peaceful Yen Trung Lake below, Ha Long Bay, the Bach Dang River, or Uong Bi city.

The distance from the bottom of the mountain to the top is approximately 4-5 kilometers; however, the ramp is backward and extremely dangerous for those who drive erratically. So, if you want to be safe, you can choose to walk.

A leisurely stroll from the mountain's base to the summit will provide you with more opportunities to fully appreciate the hilly scenery on both sides.

About 135 kilometers east of Hanoi, Phuong Hoang (Phượng Hoàng) Hill (also known as Ba Tang (Ba Tầng) Mountain, in 12 Khe village, Bac Son (Bắc Sơn) ward, Uong Bi (Uông Bí) city, Quang Ninh province) has become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

This is a developing "virtual living" coordinate, but the pristine scenery is particularly impressive in autumn, just in time for the grass season to "change clothes."

If Phoenix Hill stands out with fresh green grass, full of life in the spring and summer (from 3 to 8 months), from October 11 to January next year, this place is "coated" with a burning yellow coat, brightening the entire region.

Phoenix Hill, located in the vibrant city of Uong Bi, is like a land neglected by unspoiled beauty, isolated from the noise, bustle, and smog outside.

Phoenix Hill's beauty changes with the seasons, with autumn and winter attracting the most visitors as the meadow turns yellow.

Phoenix Hill's beauty changes with the seasons, with autumn and winter, is the most popular, when the meadow turns burnt yellow, highlighting the green pine trees and creating a scene reminiscent of the wild grasslands of Africa that visitors can only see in movies.

This hill is nearly 500 meters high. Visitors travel approximately 8 kilometers from Uong Bi city to Bac Son ward before hiking approximately 30 minutes from the foothills to the top. Visitors can use cars in addition to motorbikes, which are the most convenient mode of transportation.

Visitors must climb a fairly steep and bumpy distance from the foothills to reach the top. As a result, this location is ideal for those who enjoy moving, climbing mountains, etc. To make the ascent of Phoenix Peak easier, visitors should dress compactly and appropriately.

Phoenix Hill offers tranquil scenery.

Despite being a new destination, Phoenix Hill continues to entice visitors with its pristine scenery, which rivals that of Africa's grasslands.

Although it takes some effort to reach the top of the hill, visitors will be rewarded for their efforts by being able to fully appreciate the natural beauty here.

Visitors who are not used to moving can also travel by motorcycle to the top of the hill, but the rider must be strong and familiar with the mountainous terrain. Another option is to hire locals to drive you to the grassland viewing area for added peace of mind without putting in too much effort.

There are many pine trees along both sides of the road to the top of the hill, and the fresh air reminds visitors of the image of "Miniature Dalat."

The couple Bui Huy Khang and Le Bang Dung (both born and raised in Quang Ninh) couldn't help but enjoy the emerging check-in point in their hometown after setting foot on the burning grass hill in January of this year.

The young couple chose black and red tones to stand out among the picturesque burning meadow scenery, which sparkled with green dwarf pine trees far away.

The contrast between the "changing season" pasture and the green pine trees full of life gives this place a very unique beauty, enough to keep anyone distracted.

According to Huy Khang, Phoenix Fire Hill is an ideal location for a variety of outdoor activities such as picnicking, photography, camping, and so on.

Visitors who want to take beautiful photos here should come between 6 am and 9 am or 2 am and 5 pm and wear outfits with beige brown, red black, or yellow and white tones.

Phoenix Hill is most beautiful at sunrise or sunset.

For the most impressive photos at the burning grass hill, visitors dress in red, black, or yellow and white outfits.

Visitors who want to climb to the top of the hill, however, should arrive a little earlier to catch the romantic moment at sunrise or sunset.

Phoenix Hill is an emerging "virtual living" destination, and the landscape is still intact and beautiful, so visitors must be mindful of preserving and protecting the environment by not throwing garbage into the pasture.

Binh Lieu has been compared to Quang Ninh's "miniature Sapa" because of its mild year-round climate and beautiful natural scenery.

Binh Lieu is especially beautiful in the autumn because the roads are lined with reeds. As a result, every autumn, Binh Lieu is compared not only to the inherent "dinosaur spine," but also to the "reed kingdom."

The reed season in Binh Lieu lasts from mid-October to mid-November.

When the reeds bloom at the same time, the weather in Binh Lieu welcomes the first waves of wind.

The western border ring road running towards Lang Son has the most beautiful reed flowers.

Milestone 1305 in particular, located on Binh Lieu's highest mountain, is the most beautiful place for visitors to admire the reed season.

Visitors to Binh Lieu will be able to immerse themselves in the majestic beauty of the pristine forest and mountain paintings, as well as view the wonderful natural panorama below.

The reeds are pure white when they first bloom, growing in clusters; after a while, the flowers gradually turn yellow and fall with the wind.

The reeds rustled and swayed with the wind whenever there was a breeze.

Furthermore, this location will be used to take impressive check-in photos for tourists.

Binh Huong's grass-burning season is stunning.

Binh Huong peak, located north of Uong Bi city in Quang Ninh province, is known as "miniature Da Lat" when covered in pine forest and tall grass.

Binh Huong is known as the "Miniature Da Lat in the Heart of Quang Ninh."

The burning grass season in Binh Huong, known as the "golden season" of Quang Ninh, begins in late September and lasts until the end of October 10. The grassy field and romantic pine hill at Binh Huong peak become an appealing photographic backdrop around this time.

Visitors can watch the lawn turn yellow, just like in romantic movies.

Visitors can explore the trail in the middle of the romantic yellow grass hill, and take photos of the "lonely pine tree," or the rocks on the side of the road, in addition to the endless burning grass field.

Visitors should also try the experience of climbing to the top of the mountain, which is more than 400m above sea level. Visitors can admire the majesty of the mountains in the distance while standing on the top of Binh Huong, capturing a full view of the beautiful city of Uong Bi and the Bach Dang River.

Binh Huong Mountain is still relatively unspoiled because it is a new tourist destination in Quang Ninh. Day picnics, camping, camping, campfire parties, and sunrise hunting... are thus the most appropriate activities here.

Binh Huong Peak is surrounded by mountain ranges.

Visitors can take a bus from Hanoi to the center of Uong Bi city, Quang Ninh, for 200.00 VND. You can choose to ride a motorcycle if you want to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. Once there, visitors can choose between two modes of transportation:

• Visitors who want to walk to see the scenery should take The Ba Vàng Way, which goes through the top of Thành Đẳng after Ba Vang Pagoda. This trip is about 4 kilometers long and takes about an hour and a half.
• If you are unable to climb the mountain, you can ride a motorcycle. Follow the Vàng Danh path through the Lán Tháp Bridge for about 100m, then turn into the Dong Chanh direction and look for a cloth sign that says "Entrance to Binh Huong peak." Traveling by motorcycle takes about 20 minutes, and the road up the mountain is relatively easy to navigate with no dangerous bends.

Hiking allows visitors to appreciate the beauty on both sides of the road.

Binh Huong's beauty changes with the seasons, but to fully appreciate the beauty of the burning grass season, visitors should visit between mid-September and October 10. The weather in the North is dry, cool, and less rainy at this time of year, making it much easier for visitors to move around and enjoy themselves.

Sunset from the summit of Binh Huong.

According to many visitors' experiences, the best times of day to explore this mountain are at sunrise and sunset.

Those who want to catch the sunrise should arrive at 5:00 a.m. to admire the sunrise behind the mountains and the first rays of sunlight in the morning mist. Going at 16:00 is ideal for capturing the stunning beauty of the sunset.

Fares that are adaptable to each audience.

What is the most lovely season?

Quan Lạn, like Cô Tô, is most beautiful in the summer, particularly from April to the end of June when it is not too hot and there are no storms. Autumn in Quan Lạn is lovely, but the air is colder and it rains a lot. Pay attention to the weather forecast from July to September to avoid rainstorms and tropical depressions.

Move

Visitors will need to take one of two routes to reach Quan Lat Island:

Leg 1: Travel to Quang Ninh

Visitors from the South or Central will fly to Hanoi or Hai Phong in Quang Ninh, then drive to Hon Gai pier in Ha Long City or Cai Rong port in Van Don district.

If you do not have a car or a motorcycle, you can take a limousine or bus from Hanoi to Ha Long or Cua Ong, Cam Pha at My Dinh bus station, Giap Bat. The price ranges from 150,000 VND to 200,000 VND per transaction. The travel time is nearly four hours.

Travel time from Hai Phong is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Limousines cost around 150,000 VND per turn, while passenger cars cost around 120,000 VND per turn.

Leg 2: The journey from the port to the island

The speedboat ride lasts approximately 45 minutes. Tourists frequently choose to depart from Cai Rong port to reduce their time at sea. When making your reservation, you can request that the hotel assist you in booking speedboat tickets and shuttles from the port for your convenience.

How to Get Around the Island

The average cost of renting a motorcycle on the island is 150,000 VND per day (without gasoline), and 200,000 VND with gasoline. Because many guests have encountered this controversy, you must ask clearly to avoid annoyance and misunderstanding.

A tuk-tuk costs approximately 700,000 VND per day, while a tram costs approximately 1,200,000 VND per day. It is appropriate for large groups of people, such as families.

Where can I play?

Beach

Because Quan Lạn Island has a narrow width, is not large, but is quite long, it is home to many beautiful beaches.

Quan Lạn Beach is the beach closest to the port and the market. Quan Lạn beach is more deserted than Minh Chau beach; it has white sand, but not as white as other beaches; it has a clear blue sea and moderate waves.

Minh Chau Beach has the most beautiful white sand and is always crowded with tourists. To get a good photo on the empty beach, you only need to walk about 1 km further towards The Minh Chau harbor. There is a beautiful beach here, and almost no one bathes.

The beach is very comfortable, with a hard background and the clearest water of any beach on the island. However, because of its location in the wind's direction, Minh Chau can become a "reluctant dumping ground" for waste from the sea.

Viet My Beach is close to the wharf, which is a wild project, so people rent seasonally for business; it is the only place where the food area overlooks the sea; it has a beautiful view and an affordable price, and many bars have karaoke. The beach is gentle and the coastline is long. The sand is not as smooth as in Minh Chau.

Son Hao beach is located between Quan Lạn and Minh Chau beaches. The most striking feature of Son Hao beach is that when the water level rises the most, the beach area shrinks.

Robinson Beach is located between the beaches of Son Hao and Minh Chau but is closer to Minh Chau. This beach, like the desert island, has only one beachfront motel and no other services. I looked around because the access road was small and bumpy, and there was no signage. But this is the most beautiful beach, with a lovely lodge in the middle of a pine forest.

Pavilions for temples

Quan Lạn Pavilion was constructed in the post-Le period (around the 17th century) and was renovated several times during the Nguyen period to worship the village emperors, the Tien Cong who founded Quan Lạn commune, and Tran Khanh Du.

The Quan Lạn Pagoda and Nghè Quan Lạn Temple are located next to the Quan Lạn family and are dedicated to Pham Cong Chinh, a local who died in the historic Battle of Van Don. The Quan Lạn Family Festival is held from June 10 to June 20 of the lunar calendar (the festival itself is June 18).

Wind Stream Strait

The Wind Strait, located near Cau Temple, Cua Dong, the end of the island, about 6 km from Quan Lạn pier, is a difficult place to visit in Quan Lạn. You can travel by motorcycle or tuk-tuk. Because so many trucks pass by, the road is quite dusty. You can see the island from above or look out over the blue sea, which is splattered with white foam from the waves. Take note that the climbing path is quite dangerous; be cautious and avoid allowing small children to follow.

The river has two banks of white sand

This river is located directly on the island's main road, about 100 meters from the road to Son Hao pier, with white sand sides that sparkle in the sun. However, if you look closely, you will notice that this is the wastewater flow from a nearby factory, but the photo still has a shimmer to it. For the best photos, shoot in the late afternoon near sunset.

Grassy field

A grassy field next to the river appears to transport visitors to a European country. Posing is easy, and shooting from above will help you take more impressive photos.

The island's main thoroughfares

The island's main road is straight and flanked by pine trees. Simply stand in the middle of the road and pose as naturally as possible, and you'll have a photo that looks like the European sky. Because the island is not densely populated, the main road is mostly deserted. However, you must remain cautious of the tuk-tuks, which frequently travel at high speeds.

What should I eat?

Curses, pins, and tickling dishes seafood Delicious with an unusual name, many visitors to Quan Lạn are intrigued and want to try it.

You can eat at hotels and beaches, but ask for prices carefully to avoid being "chopped." You can also eat in the residential area of Quan Lạn beach. The shop serves based on capacity, such as 1,000,000 VND for 4 people. If you want to eat cheaper food, you can get up early and go to the market, or you can buy from the food stores opposite Quan Lạn house, where you can buy by kilograms.

Hotels and motels

There are motels, hotels, stilt houses, villas, and resorts to choose from. Room rates range from 300,000 to 3,500,000 VND per night, depending on the type of room and the time of year. Some of the best hotels in Minh Chau include the Phoenix Minh Chau, Minh Chau Pearl Hotel & Spa, Minh Chau Beach Resort, Grandpearl Resort...
