Climb the 486 steps at Hang Mua for the valley from the dragon ridge
486 steps, best at opening
Residents say the same thing consistently: go at opening or in the last hour, and take the left-hand staircase to the dragon rather than joining the queue for the lotus-pond viewpoint. Lao Dong has reported people packed shoulder to shoulder on the summit on a midweek day. The ticket price was revised upward from 1 April 2026. In June the lotus pond at the base is arguably better than the summit.
