The mountains famously have 99 peaks. Nguyễn Huệ built the Trung Đô Citadel on Hồng Lĩnh mountain.[3][4][5] The mountains were the place of retirement of Nguyễn Du.[6] In earlier days villagers went into the Hồng Lĩnh mountains at times of poor crops for hunting and harvesting rattan and leaves to make raincoats and hats.[7] Hồng Lĩnh Mountain is now suffering ecological damage from people harvesting mật nhân (Eurycoma longifolia).[8]
