Located in the North of Vietnam, the weather here also has 4 seasons, spring, summer and autumn. However, this is a mountainous area facing the sea so it has a slightly different sub-climate type.
When winter comes, the sea breeze blows in but the forest canopy is prevented so that the weather is warm, the average temperature ranges from 15 to 18 degrees.
And especially, summer is a great place to stop here, can stay overnight or go back in the day. Under the big trees, is an ideal place to catch the cool breeze. Lots of trees so the atmosphere is extremely pleasant.
So no matter the season, visitors should come to Yen Tu sacred land once, never to forget the scenery here.
