Explore and experience

Admire and take photos of wild nature

Surrounding Suoi Tien is a lush green primeval forest, a quiet space. The rocks, clear water and green moss create a natural background, which is both pleasing to the eye and rich in forest essence.

Trekking through the forest to the stream

The last 1.5km of the trek is a forest trail, with some steep and slippery areas in the rainy season. On both sides are tall shady trees; the higher you go, the more mossy the rapids are, and the landscape becomes more vivid.

Bathing, picnicking and camping

Along the stream there are many flat rocks to sit, set out snacks and watch the water flow. Some sections of water are shallow and clean, where you can soak your feet or take a light bath to relax your muscles after walking.

Pick wild blackberries and enjoy

There are many sim trees around the stream. When the sim is ripe, the fruit turns red-purple, with a characteristic sweet taste. If you go in the right season, you can experience picking sim and enjoying it on the spot.
