Jungle Trekking Along Trails and French Prison Remnants
Deeper inside the forest lies a trail leading to the ruins of a colonial prison built in the 1930s. Walking these forest pathways allows travelers to observe old stone prison cells covered by vegetation. The path also leads past ancient heritage trees forming part of the park’s protected ecosystem. This portion of the walk offers a look at regional biodiversity and historical site remnants.
Summit Hike to King Peak and Uncle Ho Temple
Climbing King Peak involves ascending approximately 1,200 paved stone steps surrounded by dense canopy forest. Reaching the summit at 1,296 meters altitude reveals broad panoramic perspectives across northern river basins. Situated at the summit stands the shrine dedicated to President Ho Chi Minh, built with traditional architecture. Visitors gather here to gain historical insight regarding Vietnam’s national leadership while taking in mountain air.
Exploring French Colonial Ruins and Mossy Stone Structures
Positioned at the 600-meter elevation mark are stone structures constructed by French authorities in the early 20th century. Over decades, natural forest growth and moss have covered stone arches of an abandoned church, summer villas, and military posts. Our local guide provides factual details on how French administrators built this mountain station to escape Hanoi’s summer climate, pointing out architectural features preserved today.
