Go to Ba Den Mountain to escape the heat and hunt for clouds

The April 30 and May 1 holidays this year fall right at the peak of the heat, so the mountains with cool climates are the destinations chosen by many tourists. In particular, the air on the top of Ba Den Mountain is often cool and fresh, making it an unmissable destination for tourists during this holiday.

The temperature on the top of Ba Den Mountain is usually 8 to 10 degrees Celsius lower than at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, this place becomes a great place to have fun, avoid the heat and also an ideal place to hunt clouds.

Early in the morning, the top of Ba Den Mountain is often covered with beautiful white clouds. Strange cloud phenomena continuously appear on the top of the mountain such as mushroom clouds, sea of clouds... or thin layers of mist surrounding the statue of Buddha Tay Bo Da Son and then descending to the large square, covering the treetops, flower roots and the world's largest sandstone statue of Maitreya Buddha, creating a stunning, magical natural scene for Ba Mountain.

Leading up to the April 30 and May 1 celebrations, the flag-raising ceremony at Ba Den Mountain is held every Monday morning until the end of the holiday (April 7, April 14, April 21 and April 30).
