The French as a holiday resort built tam Dao, 80 km from Hanoi, in the beginning of this century for the well to do. It is situated north west of Hanoi at an elevation of almost 1000 m. Because of this the temperature remains a pleasant and comfortable level year round. These days Tam Dao is popular with day-trippers from Hanoi who wish to escape the stress of city life for a day or two. We leave Hanoi at around 07:30 for a 2-hour journey along highway 23. Once we turn off the highway the road becomes narrow and very winding as it climbs into the mountains. We spend the day at Tam Dao lazing by the swimming pool, hiking to the Silver Waterfall or to the Temple of the Goddess of the Jungle. We leave Tam Dao around 16:00.
