Binh Huong is a mountain range located in Vang Danh Ward, Uong Bi City, Quang Ninh Province. Binh Huong is 10 km from the center of Uong Bi, 50 km from Ha Long city and 135 km from Hanoi Capital. The mountain range has an altitude of 467 m and stretches for 3 km.
With its pristine hilly terrain, fresh climate mixed with cool pine rows, Binh Huong is also likened by some tourists to "Da Lat in miniature". The vast hills beneath the golden grass in Binh Huong are the favorite check-in places for young people in Quang Ninh as well as tourists from far and near.
You can walk Ba Vang path, past the top of Thanh Dang behind Ba Vang Pagoda. The distance is about 4 km, climbing takes about 1 hour and a half, not too far, while walking while breathing the air, enjoying the scenery of pristine mountains and hills along the road. The second way is to ride a motorbike on Vang Danh road, through the railway of Lan Thap bridge about 100 m in the direction of Dong Chanh you will meet a sign that reads: "The way to the top of Binh Huong". The motorbike ride only takes about 20 minutes. The road goes straight up to the end of the painting, without dangerous bends. But if you're not sure about your handlebars, you should choose to walk safely.

At each time of the year, Binh Huong peak appears with its own picture. At the end of autumn, when the lush green grass turns yellow, it is the ideal time to admire a charming and poetic corner of Quang Ninh.
Standing on the top of the hill, visitors can easily zoom out to the horizon, where there are undulating mountains in the distance. The endless layers of burnt grass further accentuate the wild and expansive appearance of a hilly area. All create a quiet, peaceful, free scenery.
The pale yellow color of the field blends with the gentle sunshine of the sunrises when the sun has just appeared. The evening time makes the surrounding space even more romantic. On clear blue days, with few clouds, you can enjoy the full view of the gentle Yen Trung lake below, Ha Long Bay, Bach Dang River or Uong Bi city.
If you go for a day, you just need to bring food and water. If you stay overnight, you need to prepare camping supplies and barbecue items such as barbecue, meat, sausages, eggs, vegetables and drinks... The rental price of the tent is from 250,000 to 700,000 VND a day (depending on the capacity of the tent). Currently, on the top, there is a service to sell grilled chicken for 300,000 VND per chicken and rice balls for 10,000 VND per serving.

Note:
If you want to fully experience the beauty of Binh Huong peak, you should camp overnight. If you go during the day, try to go early to catch the sunrise or wait for the sunset to fall.
The temperature in the evening usually drops very low, so don't forget to bring a light jacket.
Spray mosquito repellent (insect) to protect your body. Because in the forests and mountains, there are many types of poisonous insects.
You should take a good look at the road before you go. Refer to the weather forecast and prepare to fully charge your phone so that you can look up google maps whenever you need it.
The terrain is climbing, so you should choose for yourself a pair of soft-soled sneakers or bring a pair of crab boots.
If you don't bring a tent but want to rent it, ask the price before renting.
Before leaving, remember to clean the camping area and preserve the general scenery of Binh Huong peak.
