Visiting Phoenix Hill during the green grass season.

(SGTT) – Phoenix Hill (Quang Ninh) is a popular destination for tourists seeking hiking, camping, and outdoor relaxation on weekends, especially during the summer months when the green grass covers the hillside and the pine forest provides shade.

Located at an altitude of approximately 455m above sea level, Phoenix Hill – also known as Three-Tiered Mountain – is in Bac Son ward, Uong Bi city. The area is predominantly hilly and mountainous, interspersed with pine forests and expansive grasslands. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

The trek to the hilltop takes about 30 minutes. The path is steep and rocky, so hikers need appropriate clothing, athletic shoes, and water. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

For those familiar with the terrain and experienced, it's possible to travel almost to the summit by motorbike. However, the path is quite rough, so thorough vehicle checks and safety precautions are necessary when ascending and descending. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

During the journey, visitors can observe the pine forest, the trails winding through the canopy, and the cool, crisp air characteristic of the hilly area in the morning. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

At the summit, the terrain is relatively flat, ideal for pitching tents, camping, or other outdoor activities. Some visitors choose to stay overnight, combining it with watching the sunrise in the early morning. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

However, staying overnight requires thorough preparation with essential items such as tents, flashlights, warm clothing, insect repellent, and attention to safety precautions when cooking and lighting fires. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung

The landscape at Phoenix Hill changes with each season. In summer, the grass grows lush and green, and the pine forest provides ample shade, making it ideal for relaxation. Photo: Nguyen Trong Cung
