The five-day holiday starting on April 30 is an excellent occasion for Vietnamese people to set off on tours to relax and discover new lands.
For those who cannot travel far, they can choose one of the following places near Hanoi capital to enjoy the holiday with their families and friends.
Son Tinh Camp
 
 
The camping site is just half an hour drive from the city centre. It is located on a peninsula and surrounded by a lake. It offers a wide range of camping models, for single campers, collectives or families.
Campers have the chance to take part in games such as team-building, wall climbing, boat racing, as well as campfire.
Ao Vua-Khoang Xanh
 

Just a bit more than an hour drive from the city centre, Ao Vua-Khoang Xanh is an ecological site at the foot of legendary Tan Vien Mountain – an ideal place for weekend tours.
Coming to the site, visitors find themselves immersed in a space imbued with Vietnamese culture, discovering the ancient legend of Son Tinh and Thuy Tinh, and experiencing mountaineering, waterfall climbing, water park games, a tour of caves, and boating on the lake.
Tam Dao resort
 
 
Located about 80km from Hanoi, Tam Dao is an ideal resort for relaxation in the north because of its fresh air, tranquillity and mild weather with temperatures ranging between 18-25 degrees Celsius all the year round.
Alongside climbing up the mountain peak, visitors will have an acute sense of peace if they tour around Thuong Ngan Temple or age-old Tam Dao church.

Tam Dao is famous for its specialities like chayote, hill chicken and Man pork.

 Quan Son-My Duc resort
 

The eco-tourism site is just about 50km from the city centre, and travelling by motorcycle in the early morning is preferable to young holiday-makers.
Surrounded by about 100 stone mountains of different sizes, the site offers fascinating lake and mountainside tours, helping visitors to go through an unforgettable experience.
