The road to the bamboo forest is commented by tourists as quite difficult to go, so it is recommended to travel by motorbike taxi of indigenous people to come to the place and buy tickets for 10,000 – 15,000 VND / person to visit. You can also ask the locals for directions if you want to conquer the motorbike by yourself.

The forest scene is still unspoiled, the path is opened by the garden owner into stairs for easy access, on both sides of the road are fences and protective bamboo railings. Therefore, visitors should have a sense of preservation. The garden owner has created more miniatures with bamboo and leaves for guests to take pictures. The deeper you go into the forest, the more you feel the freshness and coolness of nature, if you go in the rainy season, the road can be muddy and difficult to travel.
