Destination: Minh Dam Mountain, Long Hai

Chalk Talk: Secs: A 5km trail, relatively easy. Follow the red ribbons that will take us in a loop via 4 quaint temples and some spectacular views.

Trail: Picturesque temples, shrines. Easy going, not too many long steep ascents. Tunnel formed by two big vertical rocks. Panoramic outlook of Vung Tau from top of many mountain lookout rocks.

Highlights:
  • Bạch Vân Điện, a temple with a spectacular staircase to magnificent views of the Long Hai coastline.  
  • Bạch Vân Động, second temple on the trail, a quirky temple complex with many interesting statues of animals and bright yellow bust of Uncle Ho. Also affords a great view of the Long Hai coast
  • A rocky platform atop the mountain with a shrine 
  • Đỉnh Bồng Lai third temple of the day, more great views and very pleasant breeze
  • Chùa tứ sơn tự, final temple of the day. Massive rocks looking back at Vung Tau, plenty of opportunities for selfies as the sun begins to set

Down Down: Minh Dam Car Park - a notable lack of pilfering monkeys

Refreshments: Saigon Chill, softies, water, banh mi and fillings, watermelon for Down Down. Travel esky cold drinks for the return bus trip.
