Bach Ma National Park
Vườn quốc gia Bạch Mã
A hill station from the French colonial era, with tropical rainforest, the Five Lakes waterfalls and clouds above a 1,450-metre peak. It is well suited to a day hike.
Bach Ma National Park reaches a maximum elevation of 1,450 metres and protects the primeval rainforest of the central coastal mountains, which is home to many bird and primate species. The classic route is to drive up the mountain, then hike to the summit viewpoint, the Five Lakes Stream and the Azalea Waterfall, which drops about 300 metres. Along the way, you can see the ruins of French colonial villas. Admission is about 60,000 VND. To get to the top, you must take the park shuttle or drive yourself (check current prices). The park lies about 45 km from Hue and is often closed during the rainy season because of landslides.
