    Beautiful old fortress, turned into a community park. It has some old war jets and helicopters and it's a great place to jogg or just sit and watch people. Don't forget to visit the temple in the middle and keep and eye out for the trees. They're astounding.

    (Translated by Google) The citadel now becomes like a large park surrounded by a small forest. Get inward as if isolated from the outside world. Very peaceful and comfortable. Although the inner monuments are not intact much, the citadel is still visible. A relatively cool place with a backpacker like me. If you have time on the itinerary, you should stop by. (Original) Thành cổ giờ đây trở thành như một công viên lớn được bao bọc bởi một rừng cây nhỏ. Vào bên trong như được cách biệt với thế giới bên ngoài. Rất yên bình và thoải mái. Tuy các di tích bên trong không còn được nguyên vẹn nhiều nhưng vòng thành vẫn còn có thể nhìn thấy được. Một nơi tương đối hay ho với người du lịch bụi như mình. Trên hành trình nếu có thời gian thì nên ghé qua.

    Son tay ancient citadel is located in center of Sơn Tây town which is now a public park for sight seeing, relax. The Citadel has many popular destinations neighborhood such as: Đường Lâm Ancient Village, Và Temple, Mía Pogoda, Ba Vì National Garden. The Citadel is surrounded by a trench and has four Gate but only one remaining by restructuring. There is a centered temple, a Flag, 2 ponds, and many trees inside. It takes you about one and a half hour from Hà Nội by bus or motorcycle.

    Amazing, but needs to control people's garbage. There's a lot of fish around it. I think this is a very nice place to go fishing.

    Good place to walk in fresh air. Just one thing, they don’t have any trash bin, that’s why I saw trash (not too many) arround this beautiful little green corner. What a pity!

  • 4/5 Vu Q. 6 years ago on Google • 55 reviews
    Very nice place and only 45km from Hanoi. No entrance fee just 5000vnd for parking your bike. Its like a relaxing park. Inside the park one old building of the old citadel left with some entrance gates and some ussr aircrafts. Love the old bicycle. It reminds me about my father's bicycle on which he drived me school-home everyday.

    Nice small citadel compared to Hue's. Very well maintained. The trees and greenery made is more beautiful. It is an oasis in the middle of a busy town. Son Tay has many ancient neighbourhoods and Pagodas. This will make a good tourist loop to make that is close to Hanoi.
