Phoenix Peak: Hunting for the burning grass season in 'miniature Da Lat'

Explore Phoenix Peak (Quang Ninh) during the grass burning season from October to January. Only 135km from Hanoi, this is an ideal destination for camping and weekend check-in.

About 135km from Hanoi , Phuong Hoang peak in Vang Danh ward, Quang Ninh province, is becoming an attractive destination for tourists because of its unique beauty every time the grass is burnt. The vast hillsides are no longer lush green but turn into a brilliant golden brown, creating a wild and romantic scene, which many people liken to a "miniature Da Lat" of the Northeast region.

The ideal time to explore

Phoenix Peak has two distinct beauties throughout the year. From around March to August, this place is covered with the fresh green of grass and pine forests. However, the most special time, creating the attraction for this hill, is the grass burning season, lasting from October to January of the following year. This is when the scenery changes dramatically, attracting photography enthusiasts and adventure travelers.
