Introduction
Located at the summit of Thung Khe Pass, the Viewpoint Mai Chau symbolizes the strong bond between the people and their nation. This is where the Vietnamese flag proudly flies atop a tall pole, serving as a symbolic representation of unity, pride, and deep love for our Vietnam.
The Viewpoint Mai Chau is not only a symbolic representation of unity but also a valuable viewpoint. From the summit of the flagpole, you can immerse yourself in the panoramic view of the entire Mai Chau Valley – a magnificent natural painting with lush green fields, shaded trees, and distant mountains. The morning sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a unique play of colors across the vast fields. This is an opportunity for you to truly connect with the boundless nature of Mai Chau.
Starting from 2023, there have been several changes at the Viewpoint Mai Chau, including the entrance and check-in area. The former Mai Chau Flagpole area is now managed by a new entity called Top View Mai Chau. Here, you can enter free of charge without purchasing a ticket. At Top View, they primarily sell beverages and have improved the area’s aesthetics. When you visit, you can buy drinks to support them, and their prices are reasonable.
To enter, you will need to stop and park your vehicle about 100 meters from Viewpoint Mai Chau area, towards the direction of Hanoi (without a parking fee). Then, you can walk inside and you will see the beverage selling area of Top View Mai Chau, which is also the location of Viewpoint Mai Chau.
