Located just 135km from Hanoi, Phoenix Peak has earned the nickname "Little Da Lat of the Northeast" thanks to its soft, wind-blown grasslands and expansive mountain vistas that resemble a painted landscape.

As the weather cools and a gentle breeze rustles through the hills, visitors can be found lounging under pine trees, soaking in the serene atmosphere that defines this highland gem.

During the golden grass season, Phoenix Peak takes on a cinematic charm. The once-green slopes shift to hues of copper and amber, their dry blades crackling gently underfoot and gleaming in the early sunlight.

The grass bends and dances with the wind, forming fluid waves that seem to roll endlessly across the hills, like a golden sea in motion.
