“The Road in the Painting” - Van Don - Mong Cai Expressway
As the final piece completing the expressway running along the province, connecting the Mong Cai international border gate (Quang Ninh) with the national expressway system, the Van Don - Mong Cai expressway is likened to a picturesque road. According to statistics, the Van Don – Mong Cai expressway is one of the routes with the most bridges over the sea, rivers, and streams in the country, with 35 bridges on the main route, equivalent to a total length of over 7.9km. Each bridge is focused on investment in architecture and aesthetics to create routes with beautiful scenery; ensuring aesthetic appeal while preserving the existing ecological environment and surrounding environment. Therefore, when traveling along this route, tourists will have the opportunity to admire the vast and majestic scenery in the green of the stretching mountains and forests. Every moment of nature here, whether at dawn or dusk, is imbued with the "romance" of nature, making anyone captivated to gaze or take a souvenir photo.

The most special point is that this expressway has shortened the travel time from Hanoi to Mong Cai to just over 3 hours instead of 6 hours as before, creating favorable conditions for tourists to explore the border city - a rare destination that gathers a full set of attractive experiences: Tra Co beach, nicknamed "the most poetic in Vietnam", possessing an intact, harmonious, simple beauty with smooth white sand stretching flat in the blue sea water all year round; Sa Vi - the place where the first stroke was drawn to create the "S" shaped map of Vietnam, Tra Co Communal House - one of the largest ancient communal houses in Vietnam, or the border market with thousands of stalls offering diverse products from electronics fashion to household goods,...
The poetic coastal road Ha Long - Cam Pha
No need to go to the West or sigh over beautiful scenes in movies, winter in Quang Ninh also possesses poetic scenery no less, especially outstanding on the Ha Long - Cam Pha coastal road, which many tourists consider one of the most beautiful and modern coastal tourist routes in the North because running along the road are majestic and poetic scenes of mountains, rivers, and seas. The road is designed to wind along the mountains and close to the bay, thus having little impact on the natural landscape. Running along is the fresh green color of mangrove forests, making you feel like you are breathing in incredibly refreshing and pure natural breaths.

Besides natural scenery, the route also carries many cultural beauties, typically the Bai Tho mountain relic complex and the Hon Hai relic belonging to the Dong Son cultural layer, or the sacred Den Dau Moi and Den Ba Cua temples. Especially, when coming to Cam Pha this season, visitors can also experience Vietnam's most valuable "specialty" hot mineral springs at the Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh resort, located 15km west of the center. Hot spring bathing is suitable for all 4 seasons, however, autumn and winter are still the most ideal times to experience this type of resort that brings many health benefits. Since Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh was inaugurated in 2020, it has changed the public's perception of Quang Ninh tourism: a coastal destination that has long only been bustling in the summer. Now, traveling to Quang Ninh in winter is becoming a trend.
Visitors should not miss the hot spring bathing experience at Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh, located 15km from Cam Pha city center
Anyone visiting Yoko Onsen Quang is captivated by the incredibly impressive architectural space of this hot spring resort. Surrounded by rolling mountains, completely separate from the city, Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh offers visitors the feeling of stepping into a peaceful miniature Japanese village, with gently sloping brown tiled roofs, neatly divided bamboo or wooden window frames, paper lanterns, and traditional carp streamers of the Land of the Rising Sun... The allure of Yoko Onsen Quang Hanh lies not only in its pure Japanese space but also in its novel and unique onsen bathing experiences, an age-old culture considered the secret to the health and longevity of the Japanese people. The mineral source of Yoko Onsen Quanh Hanh is highly valued by Japanese experts for being rich in health-beneficial minerals.
Binh Lieu Border Road
If you are looking for a majestic, steep location with floating seas of clouds, then Binh Lieu, the 'rooftop' of Quang Ninh, is an ideal choice. This place has always captivated people with nearly 40 km of border with breathtakingly beautiful border patrol routes, arguably the best in the Northeast region. The scenery here changes with the seasons, but it is most beautiful in autumn, like a giant painting of nature, with the silky white color of reeds, adorned by continuous rolling mountains, and in winter, covered in white snow, creating a mesmerizing border landscape.
Binh Lieu border patrol route captivates visitors
In Binh Lieu, there are many border markers, but 1300, 1302, 1305, and 1327 are 4 essential ones that cannot be missed when visiting. These border markers are scattered along the border patrol route, over 700m above sea level, winding over hills fragrant with the scent of pine resin. Setting foot and leaving memories by these border markers is considered an unforgettable journey and experience for everyone.
