Chop Chai Mountain

Chop Chai Mountain is a 394-meter-high peak located northwest of central Tuy Hoa in Dak Lak Province (formerly Phu Yen). Recognized as a distinctive natural landmark visible across the city, it offers panoramic views over Tuy Hoa, the Da Rang River and the East Sea. The mountain is accessible via a paved road and hiking trails to the summit, where visitors find a broad viewpoint and telecommunications facilities. It is a popular local site for hiking, sightseeing and photography.

Visitors can expect a short drive or hike up a paved mountain road to a summit viewpoint overlooking Tuy Hoa city, the Da Rang River plain, surrounding rice fields and the coastline. The setting is open and exposed with scrub vegetation and rocky slopes. At the top there is a wide area with telecommunications masts and clear 360-degree views. There are no formal visitor buildings at the summit; the experience is focused on the landscape, photography and enjoying the breeze.

Chop Chai Mountain has long served as a natural orientation landmark for the Tuy Hoa plain due to its isolated conical form. Its elevation has been used for observation and telecommunications, with summit installations reflecting its strategic height overlooking the city and coast.

Considered a symbolic natural landmark of Tuy Hoa, Chop Chai Mountain is a familiar feature in the local cityscape and a valued recreational green space for residents for exercise, sightseeing and leisure.
