There are the Nhi Thanh and Tam Thanh Caves in town and the To Thi Mountain with walls of the former Mac Citadel (16th century). You could easily spend the whole day touring the caves and to have rock climbing or mountain climbing on the To Thi Mountains. From the peak of the mountain, you will be charmed by the panoramic picture of the city surrounded by green mountains.

Recently, there are few new 3* and 4* hotels which may make your stay here more of a luxury experience.
