2. The ideal time to explore Phoenix Peak
When is the best time to visit Phoenix Peak is always a question that many travel enthusiasts are interested in. Although each season of the year brings its own nuances, there are two periods of time considered the most ideal for you to plan your exploration:
From March to August – the season of lush green grass: This is when the Phoenix peak is covered in the brilliant green of young grass, creating a cool and vibrant scene. The clear blue sky, cool air combined with the peaceful natural landscape are very suitable for trekking, picnicking or hunting for landscape photos.
From October to January of the following year – the romantic season of burnt grass: When autumn turns to winter, this place transforms with the characteristic golden brown color of burnt grass hills. The scenery becomes poetic, very "photogenic", an ideal background for taking artistic photos or organizing camping trips in the middle of wild nature.
Whether you love the lush green scenery of spring and summer or the quiet, romantic beauty of winter, Phoenix Peak promises to bring memorable experiences. If you are looking for a trekking location close to nature, where you can camp and take virtual photos, the burning grass season is a suggestion not to be missed.

3. Directions to Phoenix Peak
To start your journey to Phoenix Peak, you can depart from Ha Long or Uong Bi – two popular destinations that are easily accessible to the mountain area. From here, you can choose to travel by motorbike, private car or call a taxi, depending on your budget and personal preferences.
However, these vehicles can only take you to the foot of the mountain. The road to the top is still quite steep and has many rough rocky sections (the road condition in 2023 is being renovated), so to ensure safety and save energy, you should hire a local motorbike taxi - this is a familiar and convenient choice trusted by many tourists when they want to conquer the Phoenix peak quickly and safely.
