Discover Phia Po mountain – roof of Lang Son
Lang Son is famous for its beautiful Mau Son peak. However, Mau Son is not just a mountain. It is a complex of up to 80 large and small mountains. In particular, the highest peak is Phia Po mountain with an altitude of up to 1541m above sea level. That’s why Phia Po is also known as “the roof of Lang Son”.
Phia Po Peak is located between Cao Loc and Loc Binh districts,30km northeast of Lang Son . Because it is less famous than Mau Son (mother mountain), Phia Po is still unknown to many people. It is this that helps this place still retain the wild and majestic beauty that nature bestows on Lang.
