To Chau is the name of a mountain range located west of Dong Ho lake, in To Chau ward, Ha Tien town, Kien Giang province. On Highway 80 near the junction into Ha Tien town, visitors will see To Chau Mountain with a special location often visited by tourists.
That charming To Chau mountain with its lovely beauty is not among the ten scenic bays of Ha Tien, but it has an important position – where people can have a panoramic view of the beautiful landscape of the entire rich land of Ha Tien from the top of this mountain. Although not one of the 10 beautiful landscapes of Ha Tien, To Chau mountain still has its own unmistakable beauty, and it also partly adorns the Dong Ho landscape.
2. The beauty of To Chau Ha Tien mountain
Suzhou includes two mountains, Dai To Chau and Little To Chau. Not a perfect landscape picture like Binh San Mountain, nor as majestic as Da Dung Mountain, To Chau Mountain is like a rustic village girl possessing a gentle and simple beauty, but containing a secret charm that makes many people fall in love.
In Dai To Chau, there still exists the ancient stone foundation from the time of the Mac family. Although Dai To Chau is taller, he looks humble in front of Tieu To Chau, who is full of life.
Tieu To Chau is located close to Dong Ho pool, always looking like she is looking into the vast and deep water surface to make love. Conquering To Chau peak, visitors can visit the pagoda to admire the scenery in wonderful silence and peace.
Then looking down from the top of To Chau, visitors will immediately see in their near vision the charming beauty of Dong Ho, a little further away is a panorama of Ha Tien with many vivid touches from houses, villages to rivers and small, beautiful country roads like soft silk strips spreading by the wind, the whole panorama of Ha Tien rolling between the sea, sky, clouds and water.
On the top of Tieu To Chau, there are many pagodas and monasteries hidden under lush, shady fruit gardens. Therefore, it is an attraction for tourists from near and far to come here to visit.
In particular, from the top of To Chau, visitors can look out at the peaceful Dong Ho Lagoon between the four sides of the mountain river with rows of eucalyptus and lush green pepper gardens rolling along the mountain slopes.
At the foot of the mountain is To Chau ferry wharf, passing through the town center. Today, this wharf has been replaced by Ha Tien floating bridge and solid To Chau casting bridge.
Ha Tien is beautified not only by its magnificence and landscapes praised by countless poems and literature over the years, but also by simple lines such as the gentle To Chau mountain, with a quiet beauty beside the ever-green Dong Ho river, an unchanging emerald green color.
