Not only is it a place for sports and picnic lovers, with beautiful and airy landscapes, Bu Hill is also an ideal check-in coordinate for moving enthusiasts.
Bu Hill is located on the border between Chuong My district, Hanoi and Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province, only about 40km from the center of Hanoi. From September to November is the ideal time to take a day trip to Doi Bo. During this time, the weather was cool and the air was extremely pleasant. In particular, in November, the reed hill with a length of about 1.5km blooms, making the scenery of the Bo Hill more poetic than ever. the white accent erases a sky area, making this place likened to a miniature Binh Lieu.

To get to Doi Bu, we moved from the center of Hanoi about 1 hour by car and walked up the hill. The dirt road is quite steep and rough, so it is not for weak drivers. Walking is also a way to exercise after the lockdown period, relieve stress after stressful working days.
After 2 hours of crossing the difficult road, when the sweat was gone, a large and comfortable field appeared in front of him. This location is skydiving hill 833 because it is located at an altitude of 833m above sea level. There were many professional pilots, there were many flight hours. Those who are new to playing or want to try thrills can also try it. To be safe, newbies should fly with a pilot.
Before flying, experienced pilots help me equip myself with the necessary equipment, helmets, instructions on how to fly a parachute, and ensure safety before takeoff.

I was very nervous and worried, but after taking a deep breath and running quickly to gain momentum, I took off even at the same time. The moment of floating in the air for the first time, although it was really very memorable. Leaving the ground and flying high, it was like entering another world. The green of the mountains and forests, the peaceful village scenery below with simple houses, lakes, fields... collapse into sight. The higher you go, the colder the air becomes. To add to the fun and excitement of the parachute, the pilot performs maneuvers in the air.
Each flight, although it takes about 15-20 minutes, really adds a lot of energy. At sunset, when the sunset falls, the beautiful afternoon sun pouring down on the hills is a beautiful end to our picnic day.

Some notes:
* Flying is an adventure hobby, so it depends on the weather and wind direction.
* You need the help of professional pilots. The cost for each flight is about 1,200,000 VND. Flying at sunset and weekends can be more expensive.
* Reed hills have a lot of squeezes, so please pay attention to avoid unfortunate incidents
* It is very cold to go up high, so you need to bring a windbreaker when you go.
