The terrain of Vinh Phuc province is very rich and diverse, including parts of low and medium mountainous terrain as well as plains. The Tam Dao mountain area, with a national forest covering an area of about 15,753 hectares and reaching an altitude of 1,591 meters above sea level, is an outstanding attraction.

This land captivates visitors with its majestic, poetic beauty and cool, refreshing air. The village landscape adds to the picturesque setting, characterized by rice fields interspersed with bamboo fences. This combination creates a brilliant, colorful scene but still retains the ancient, mossy beauty of traditional Vietnamese communal houses and pagodas. These architectural gems are often hidden under a protective canopy of ancient trees, contributing to an atmosphere of historic charm. Two notable village gates, Phu Hau and Lap Thach, mark the entrance to the villages and offer a glimpse of the area's rich cultural heritage. These gates serve as thresholds into villages, displaying distinctive architecture and cultural elements that have endured before.
