Bai Tho Mountain
Núi Bài Thơ
A limestone hill by the sea in central Ha Long city, carved with poems by emperors including Le Thanh Tong, with views over Ha Long Bay and the city.
Bai Tho Mountain lies by the sea in Hong Gai district of Ha Long city. It takes its name from poems carved into its cliff by Emperor Le Thanh Tong in 1468 and later by the Trinh lords. At its foot stands Long Tien Temple. The hiking path is steep, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the viewpoint, which overlooks the bay, fishing boats and Bai Chay Bridge. Locals come here to watch the sunset. The mountain trails are not fully developed, and some sections pass through residential areas, so go with companions, wear non-slip shoes and avoid climbing after rain. Admission is free.
