To have a smooth trip to Mang Den and have many interesting experiences, Do Do also gives some notes to tourists.
First, you should bring warm clothes and sportswear to participate in outdoor activities, avoid wearing green, blue and black clothes to stand out more in photos. Next, bring insect repellent if you plan to go into the forest. In Mang Den, there are many places that are not on the map, so find a "local" if you want to know about unique destinations.
In addition, Mang Den does not have as many amenities and entertainment as big cities, so visitors should prepare enough cash because there are very few ATMs in this area. Shops in Mang Den also close quite early (8-9pm).

Tourist attractions are mostly waterfalls, lakes or pine forests, so the path will be very slippery. You should wear light shoes with good grip to avoid foot pain or slipping while moving.
“As a tourism worker, I hope that when tourists come to Mang Den, they will always have the spirit of loving nature and protecting the environment to preserve the beauty of this land. This will be a paradise for those who love to explore, love natural beauty, love peace and also a place to relax and heal,” Do Do said.
