In terms of landscape, Ham Lon Mountain is also known as "Da Lat in Hanoi" because it belongs to the protective forest of Soc Son district, so the landscape is still wild, the terrain is diverse, in addition to the forest and mountains, there is Bau stream, Ham Lon lake..., suitable for sightseeing tourism as well as mountain climbing sports . In terms of climate, due to its moderate height, Ham Lon Mountain is not too different from the plains but is somewhat cooler and more pleasant, so visitors can easily grasp the weather to choose suitable clothes for their trip.
To conquer Ham Lon, visitors can choose many routes according to their preferences. For those who want safety and do not like adventure, they can choose the red dirt road with a gentle slope, few bushes and slowly leading to the top. When choosing this route, visitors will pass through vast green pine forests, with the faint scent of wood oil and thick carpets of leaves underfoot, bringing a pleasant, comfortable feeling. Each season, the route has its own beauty. Spring is the time when the grass and trees change leaves, the whole forest is full of life with a lush green color; until summer, the purple color of sim flowers changes in many places until covering a part of the forest; the highlight of autumn is the yellow light of acacia clusters swaying, changing to the melody of the forest wind; when winter comes, from a high angle, we see Ham Lon as if covered with a thick and soft cotton blanket, woven by the white color of tall and dense reeds.
For those who want to challenge themselves, they can choose to walk along the stream flowing from the top of the mountain, with many sections blocked by large rocks. When following this route, visitors spend an average of 3-4 hours walking, in addition to the slippery leaves and moss, there are also many bushes that block the view, so it requires everyone to have good health and experience to ensure safety. Although it is hard, in return, it will be a new experience, completely different from sports activities in the city.
It is known that in recent years, in addition to being a paradise for trekkers, Enduro motorbike enthusiasts also call Ham Lon mountain the “Soc Son holy land” and often conquer all the surrounding hills and mountains on weekends to practice for off-road motorbike competitions. Having the opportunity to chat with members of the “Long Bien Wheelie Hood” motorbike team, it is known that every weekend here, there are off-road motorbike players climbing the mountain together, an average of about 30-40 motorbikes a day, and often divided into groups to avoid “traffic jams”.
Not only is Ham Lon Mountain an ideal place for those who are passionate about adventure sports, it is also a favorite camping and picnic spot for young people. At Ham Lon Lake, visitors can make a campfire, grill BBQ, kayak, fish..., which is close to nature, safe but not too far from the city center. During the dry season, tourists can even set up tents and tarps to sleep overnight.
Currently, many households in the surrounding area have switched to doing tourism business such as renting camping equipment, providing food, and renting homestays. Mr. Ha Anh Quan, owner of Duc Quan Mart, said: “In recent years, the number of tourists to Ham Lon Lake has increased sharply, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for tourism and camping close to nature has also increased, so the store is often “out of stock” on weekends and holidays”. Taking into account the opinions of the surrounding people, it is true that the types of entertainment and tourism in the surrounding area are increasingly diverse and developed, as well as the increasing number of visitors, which has improved the people's economy ; however, the amount of household waste and noise waste has increased alarmingly.
During the journey to visit and explore Ham Lon mountain, visitors can combine visiting some nearby destinations such as Dong Do lake, Hoa Son lake, Green valley - Keo Ca lake, Doi mountain, Viet Phu Thanh Chuong or Ban Rom eco-tourism area... These are all ideal destinations and the foundation for Soc Son district to promote the development of a potential eco-tourism model.
