On clear, sunny days, standing on the top of Phia Oac mountain, you can look far away and observe the majestic mountain scenery. With a cool climate, low average temperature, and high humidity, this place is a paradise for flowers. Ordinary flowers grown in Phia Den will have a different quality than those grown elsewhere because of their large flowers, bright colors, and strong fragrance.
In addition, there are many wild and enchanting flowers growing naturally in the forest, especially rhododendrons and wild orchids that bloom brilliantly in spring. In winter, on cold days, visitors will enjoy an impressive landscape like in Europe when Phia Oac mountain peak is covered in a white layer of ice.
