Silver Waterfall (Tam Dao)

Silver Waterfall (Thac Bac) is a natural waterfall located in Tam Dao town, Tam Dao District, Phu Tho Province, about 80 km northwest of Hanoi. Situated within the Tam Dao mountain range at around 900 meters elevation, it is one of the town's main natural attractions. The waterfall cascades about 50 meters down forested slopes into a clear pool below, surrounded by dense subtropical forest and accessible via a stone stairway from the town center.

Visitors can expect a forested mountain setting reached by descending several hundred stone steps from the center of Tam Dao town. The waterfall flows down a rocky cliff surrounded by dense subtropical forest and moss-covered boulders into a shallow pool at the base. The area is cool and humid, with viewpoints along the stairway for photography. Small local stalls selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs are found near the entrance and along the path.

Tam Dao was developed as a French hill station in the early 20th century due to its cool mountain climate. Silver Waterfall has long been a natural landmark within the resort town and remains one of its original natural attractions alongside the colonial-era town center.

The waterfall is a well-known natural landmark and recreational site for domestic tourism in the Tam Dao hill station, valued for its scenic forest setting and association with the town's identity as a mountain retreat.
