Lang Son Attractions

Mountains and forests still remain wildly regardless of human actions in the highland city. One of the most famous places is Mac dynasty fortress, built by Mac Kinh Cung in 16th century in order to defend Mac dynasty against Le dynasty attack in their war for power in middle of Le dynasty period. The fortress, with huge stone walls and guard towers can help you partly imagine the old days with battles and many battalions. The fortress is not the only noted place here, Lang Son still has Tam Thanh grotto with a 8m entrance and the well known Tam Thanh temple which folk poems have referred to many times in their masterpieces. Moreover, Mau Son Mountain, 30km away from city center, is also worth a visit.
