Destination: Khu du lịch sinh thái Ngọc Xương (“Ngoc Xuong eco-tourism lodge”) near base of Định duyên sơn (“Fateful Mountain”) in Long Dien district.
Chalk Talk: Secs: “Take main trail (from Minh Dam parking area) to first shrine and lookout point, then keep following red marker tapes to three more temples… approx 5 km total distance, mostly fairly level”.
Trail: Main trail out of parking area to first commune, shrine and lookout point on edge of Long Hai mountains range, then ‘on on’ to more temples, shrines and lookout points following red tape sometimes up, sometimes down, but rarely very steep until final extended descent to ground level (many hundreds of stone steps, but evenly spaced so relatively painless).
Special interest: Various temples, shrines and lookout points along the trail – always friendly monks.

Trail rating: 10. “Excellent trail!”

Sinners: Four sinners this week for missing red tapes and a couple, who shall remain nameless because they should’ve known better, returned to the carpark at the start of the trail instead of looking for the red tapes
Circle closed: Garbage bags filled, eskies de-iced and returned to storage at Nắng Vũng Tàu kennel after a pleasant return trip.
