Sóc Sơn, Rural district in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The district extends across the Red River Delta region near Nội Bài International Airport, featuring lakes, mountains, and deep forests with a temperate climate.
The name originates from Tai-Kadai language words Sōkl and Krung, indicating a mountain of blessings, reflecting its historical status during the Tang Dynasty.
The district includes 26 commune subdivisions where local communities maintain traditional festivals and customs throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors can access numerous hiking trails around Ham Lon Peak, with options for camping near Ham Lon Lake or staying at accommodations near forests.
Two-thirds of Sóc Sơn remains classified as protective forest land, serving as a natural barrier essential for sustaining regional infrastructure.
