Photo: tour listing on Viator

Located about 30 kilometers from Cao Bang City, Angel Eye Mountain sits in the Thang Hen Lake area. It is a major highlight of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark. The mountain area is currently free to visit.

The valley landscape changes drastically depending on the weather. During the dry season, the valley floor is a dry, grassy meadow. When the rainy season arrives, the meadow floods rapidly into a temporary lake.
