Binh Ngo Tet 2026, many young families in Hanoi choose to go upstream to the northern mountains to find a clearer and more peaceful spring.
Not noisy, not crowded with people, the destinations below are suitable for a short spring trip.
Kim Boi - Hot mineral resort at the beginning of the year
Only about 2 hours from Hanoi, Kim Boi is a suitable destination for short holidays.
Natural hot spring sources in the green valley help visitors relax in the still chilly early spring weather.
Not as vibrant as major tourist centers, Kim Boi brings a slow pace of life.
In the morning, visitors can stroll in the middle of the Muong village, in the afternoon soak in mineral springs, and in the evening gather in a cozy resort space, a gentle and peaceful way to start the new year.
Huu Lien - Green meadow in the midst of rocky mountains
More than 120km from the Capital, Huu Lien is likened to a "miniature plateau" of Lang Son.
Dong Lam Steppe stretches, steep limestone mountain ranges and clear lakes create a rare pristine scene.
During Tet, the grass is lush green, the air is fresh, very suitable for light trekking, camping or simply family picnics. The number of visitors is not too large, helping visitors to fully enjoy nature.
Moc Chau - White flower season
Moc Chau in the first days of the year is often covered in white plum blossoms, dotted with pink peach blossoms in front of the house. Green tea hills, Ban Ang pine forest or Dai Yem waterfall create a spring travel journey rich in experiences.
Although it is a familiar destination, if you choose early morning or go after the 3rd day of Tet, visitors can still find quite airy spaces, avoiding the crowded scenes often seen in famous tourist areas.
Mai Chau - Peaceful village spring
Mai Chau is attractive with stilt houses nestled next to young rice fields, pale peach blossoms and yellow mustard greens stretching out. Visitors can cycle around Lac village, enjoy specialties of bamboo rice, grilled meat, and immerse themselves in the unique Thai cultural space.
Slow pace of life, open space and reasonable cost make Mai Chau a choice considered by many young families at the beginning of the year.
In addition, to make the trip more complete, Mr. Hung Vi - representative of a travel agency in Lang Son shared that tourists should avoid departing on peak days. In particular, book rooms early, especially for homestays and small resorts, and monitor the weather because the northern mountainous region may be very cold at night.
