The Cẩm Thủy Sacred Fish Stream, also known as the Cẩm Lương Sacred Fish Stream, is in Ngọc Village, Cẩm Lương Commune, Cẩm Thủy District, Thanh Hóa Province, about 80 km from Thanh Hóa City.
I’m organizing a group departing from Hanoi.

Before you go
Check current conditions again before departure.
Safety
The long distance (135 km) makes riding a motorbike tiring.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail section may be narrow, with limited visibility when it rains; drive carefully
Cẩm Lương suspension bridge has a floating sensation, drive slowly and carefully
Local rules
Do not catch fish in the spring - strictly comply with local spiritual tourism rules
Information to verify
Ticket prices and opening hours of the tourist area have not been recently confirmed from official sources; please check before departure
