At the top of the mountain you will discover majestic and old, large and spacious temple. Quang Trung King’s Temple is on the top of Dung Quyet Mountain, 97 meters above sea level. This is strikingly amid the endless line pines and the vast Lam river below you, meanders in the fog.
From the top you have a fantastic view of Vinh City. It's an idyllic setting. The town stretches from the mountains to the plains. You see the green pine trees, farmland, rivers and high rise buildings on the banks. You'll see the traffic on the roads, the cafes, restaurants, historic temples, and the entertainment district.
You can also mount on a motorcycle or car. Around the top of the mountain itself are small cafes, restaurants, hiking trails and hotels. This makes the mountain in such a popular place for residents. |
