During summer the place is filled with weekenders coming from hanoi or with locals escaping the city's warmth. The Ben En National Park is also not to missed if you are visiting Northern Vietnam. The park has a vast and diverse system of lakes, caves, mountains and forest that is utilized to develop ecotourism.
