Phú Thọ, Province in northeastern Vietnam
Phú Thọ is a province in northeastern Vietnam that spreads across mountains, hills, and plains where the Red River and Da River meet. The landscape shifts from thick forests in the mountains to rice paddies and small towns in the flatter areas.
Under the rule of eighteen Hung Kings, the region served as the capital of the Van Lang nation in early Vietnamese history. This site is considered the birthplace of Vietnamese civilization and has been revered as a sacred place for centuries.
The Hung Kings Temple Complex on Nghia Linh Mountain draws thousands of visitors each year during the festival in the third lunar month. Pilgrims and families walk up the hill together, lighting incense and bringing small offerings to honour the founders of the nation.
Viet Tri, the provincial capital, can be reached via National Highway 2 from Hanoi in about two hours by road. The city also has a train station on the Hanoi-Lao Cai line for travellers who prefer rail.
Xuan Son National Park is home to over 880 plant species and more than 230 animal species, including several primates and rare birds. Trails wind through limestone formations and past waterfalls hidden in the rainforest.
