Khanh Hoa According to locals, first-time visitors climbing Co Tien Mountain need to be in good health, go with someone experienced, and avoid staying overnight to avoid snakes and fires.
Fairy Mountain is located in the north of Nha Trang City, about 400 m high, with 3 adjacent peaks, resembling a young girl with loose hair and looking up to the sky. This is an ideal camping spot for many tourists, from the top you can see the whole view of the coastal city.
Mr. Pham Vu Thanh An, a teacher at Vo Van Ky Primary School, Nha Trang City, who has many years of experience climbing Co Tien Mountain, said that this mountain is not too high, suitable for many locals and tourists. Most of the mountain is low-leaf forest and has a single path so there is no fear of getting lost.

However, the mountain range has many steep sections passing through three peaks, so climbers need to distribute their strength . When going down, be careful because many sections are slippery, and if you are not familiar with the road, you can easily get injured. Especially for tourists and people who like to experience the night, you need to keep a flashlight and a spare charger with you.
According to Mr. An, the most important thing when climbing Co Tien Mountain is to have good health, drinking water, easy-to-move clothes, a climbing stick and a flashlight. For first-timers, they should go with someone experienced, absolutely do not go alone .
"On the mountain, each season has its own beauty. Winter is suitable for cloud hunting, while spring brings new green leaves, and especially summer when the forest leaves are as golden as Europe," said Mr. An, adding that summer is also the most suitable time for mountain climbing experiences. If locals and tourists have stargazing equipment, this place is also a "great place".

During the journey, when reaching the first mountain peak (200 m high), visitors can take souvenir photos in three locations such as facing the sea and marina, facing the city and the two remaining mountain peaks, along with the rosewood forests.
The highest peak with an altitude of nearly 400 m is the place where you can clearly see the whole view of the coastal city. At night, the view of Nha Trang city from Co Tien mountain is likened by locals to a "fire phoenix" flying in the night.

Mr. An recommends that in the summer, there is a lot of dry grass, so people should not light camping fires to avoid causing forest fires. "Camping involving firewood is unavoidable, but personally I do not support cooking on Co Tien Mountain," Mr. An said.
In addition, before climbing the mountain, visitors need to fully prepare accessories , avoid breaking trees along the way to make climbing sticks, or firewood for cooking. Mr. An advises visitors to only bring drinking water and snacks. For those who want to stay overnight, they should also note that the mountain area often has vipers and dry grass, so there is a high potential for fire.
According to a representative of Vinh Hoa Ward People's Committee, most of the people climbing Co Tien Mountain are locals who come to exercise, explore and return during the day, some organize overnight camping.
Activities in the Co Tien Mountain area are spontaneous, there are no tours or tourist routes, and no licensed services. The locality is studying measures to ensure safety for people climbing Co Tien Mountain, Nha Trang City, especially at night.
