Ba Vi National Park
With the triple-peaked Ba Vi Mountain as its towering centerpiece, this former French hill station is a popular weekend excursion for Hanoians. The park shelters several rare and endangered plants as well as plentiful birdlife. The high point (literally) of the park is a temple dedicated to Ho Chi Minh that sits at the mountain’s summit.
