Others can savour coffee at Windy Inn, famous for its restless wind blowing all day and night.
The ancient stone church is a common place to take pictures thanks to its European architecture style, which appears romantic when shrouded in fog. Especially, the vine-covered walls add to the mysterious fairy tale atmosphere here. Climbing to Tam Dao is an unforgettable experience.
The place is where many athletes chose to practise climbing. Many also come here to enjoy the winter stir-fried chayote bud, a specialty of the town.
