During the April 30th holiday, tourists can refer to many destinations near the center of Hanoi with short travel distances, combined with sightseeing, experiencing and relaxing.

Camping at Dong Do Lake

About 45km from the center of Hanoi, Dong Do Lake (former Soc Son district) is about 2km long, with a water surface area of about 60ha, convenient for organizing many outdoor activities. The lake is located in a valley, surrounded by natural pine forests, so the space is quite airy and quiet.

This is an eco-resort destination chosen by many people when they want to leave the city. With harmonious natural scenery, Dong Do Lake is suitable for activities such as camping, fishing, resting or meeting friends in a close and relaxing space.

Bat Trang pottery village

Located about 15 km from the center of Hanoi, Bat Trang (Bat Trang commune, Hanoi) is a traditional pottery village with a long history, convenient to move in about 30-40 minutes. This area concentrates many production facilities, shops and experiential spaces for visitors.

Tourists coming here often visit the pottery market to visit and choose products; at the same time, they can explore Bat Trang Pottery Museum with its unique architectural design and themed exhibition areas. In addition, many pottery workshops open pottery shaping experience services, allowing visitors to create products themselves and receive them back after completion.

Cloud hunting in Ba Vi National Park

About 60 km from Hanoi, Ba Vi National Park is a suitable destination for short trips, with a travel time of about 1-1.5 hours. This is also one of the places that many people come to experience cloud hunting near the Capital.

Due to the mountainous terrain and altitude changing by region, the temperature in Ba Vi is often lower than in the city center. On April 30 - May 1, the weather is generally quite pleasant in the early morning and late afternoon. On some days with high humidity, low clouds may appear in this area in the morning, creating conditions for cloud viewing activities.

Enjoy the cool weather in Tam Dao

Tam Dao (Phu Tho) is located about 80 km from Hanoi, a familiar destination for many tourists. With an altitude of over 900 m above sea level, this place has a cool climate all year round, especially pleasant in the early summer days.

Tam Dao is often referred to as a "city in the clouds", where visitors can feel a clear change in temperature compared to the delta region. Besides, the cloudy landscape and quiet space, cafes with mountain and cloud views are also attracting many visitors to rest, take photos and experience a different atmosphere compared to the city.
