HÀ NỘI — The Friends of Vietnam Heritage will host a weekend excursion to a hot springs resort in Thanh Thủy District in Phú Thọ Province on December 7 and 8.
Located about 74 kilometres east of Hà Nội, the Blue Pearl resort is an island located along the Đà River which has hot springs flowing from underground and the resort has five different mineral baths to choose from.
