Non Nuoc Mountain is located at the confluence of Van River and Day River. From the South, it looks like a lotus blooming on the bank of Van River. From the North, it looks like a bird perched on the water. It has been the subject of many poems written by kings, heroes, celebrities, and poets of many eras.
There are about 50 engraved poems and hundreds of poems on the mountain, which are important sources of data in our country's literary treasure. The road to the top of the mountain has nearly 200 stone steps. The mountain top is relatively flat, with a moon-watching pavilion, also known as Nghenh Phong Cac, which has been restored many times on the old foundation.
