Introducing Cao Bang
Cao Bang province is one of the most beautiful places in all of Vietnam. The same cannot be said for the town of Cao Bang, but nobody cares as it is a useful base to explore the surrounding countryside. Cao Bang town is high above sea level and has a gentle climate.

While in Cao Bang town, hit the hill leading up to the War Memorial. Head up the second lane off Ð Pac Bo, go under the entrance to a primary school, and you’ll see the steps. There are great 360-degree views from the summit, and it’s very peaceful, not to mention good exercise.
