Lan Ty Mountain is located in Lan Ty Valley, Huu Lung District, Lang Son Province, approximately 120 kilometers from Ha Noi. Tourists typically spend nearly two hours traveling from Ha Noi to reach the mountain. Nestled within the Huu Lien special use forest, Lan Ty Mountain remains an untouched destination that has not been widely developed.

The mountain features a large hole piercing through both sides and stands at nearly 500 meters above sea level. Climbing from the foot to the summit takes about an hour, offering tourists a panoramic view of Lan Ty Valley and the surrounding mountains. From the peak, travelers can abseil about 20 meters down to reach the large hole in the mountain and capture stunning photographs.

Due to its challenging and hard-to-reach terrain, Lan Ty Mountain maintains its rugged and pristine charm. Besides mountain climbing, tourists can immerse themselves in the untouched wilderness of the mountain forest, enjoying the fresh and cool atmosphere.
