Discovering Tam Dao by motorcycles, visitors will experience various feelings, from the excitement when riding on the mountain pass to the surprise because of the weather changes with four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, winter in a day.
Tam Dao tourist resort is located in Tam Dao Town, Tam Dao district, Vinh Phuc province, 86 km from Hanoi to the northwest, and 24 km from Vinh Yen City to the northeast, including the 13 km of passes with many steep and dangerous bends.Starting the journey when Hanoi is still “sleepy”, you ride your “iron horse” straight on the route Thang Long Avenue - Vinh Yen City - Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc). After only two hours, visitors will arrive in the territory of Tam Dao town. The first impression you can have is the spectacle of thick fog and the cold like your are in the winter.
Tam Dao does not have majestic mountains like they are in northwestern Vietnam; however, this land gives tourists surprising moments. In addition to focusing on conquering a series of steep, sometimes you will be interested and stop halfway to admire the immense sky with trees and white clouds.
Compared to other means of transport, moving by motorbikes makes your trip more interesting because you can stop anywhere to rest, seeing the sight, go shopping or splash inside the small streams along the way. The special thing when selecting motorcycles is the exciting and cheerful feeling when passing the bends from Vinh Yen city to the center of Tam Dao town. Besides the paths with stiff mountain on one side and abyss on the other one, there are many short steps which are high and dangerous making riders sometimes be shocked.
To Tam Dao town center, visitors leave vehicles ả the market at the foot of the old French church and begin to explore Tam Dao. Footsteps seems to be slower when they are placed on the old stone steps and when people watch the rough mossy walls of the church. From here, everyone can admire the large and small mansions looming in the thick clouds. Tam Dao mountain town looks like a colorful picture framed in the arches of the cathedral.
Continuing the journey, visitors climb the long-range stone steps to reach Ba Chua Thuong Ngan temple (Mother of the Forest), the way is so long that you may feel like you can not reach the destination. Tam Island residents and visitors frequently offer incense to the temple, so the temple is full of incense smoke all year round. Peaceful atmosphere of this place make visitors do not want to leave.
At noon, when the sun rises, the temperature also rises and the sunshine slowly goes through the clouds, is the appropriate time for tourists to visit Silver Falls. July, when the summer rains begin to appear, is the time when the waterfall has much water, water falling from above creating a beautiful scenery. In the summer heat, there's nothing better than putting barefoot in the cool water and listening the sound of the waterfall.
From 4 pm, it starts to be cool and the weather is a little chilly like it is in the autumn. The suns gradually disappear and the night slowly falls. Walking around the night market in the town, you'll find a few small booths filled with all kinds of nice souvenirs. You can also encounter some food stalls along the road.
In the evening, you can go to and sit down in a small shack, enjoy the delicious chicken (chicken raised in the hill is cleaned, marinated spices and wrapped in silver papered and grilled), several grilled eggs, bamboo- tube rice, a plate of fried chayote vegetables and sip a warm cup of wine. Definitely, you'll have a truly poetic evening. Ending a day exploring the mountain town with a cup of hot tea with friends is a perfect choice.
