Disembarked midway up Nui Dinh access road outside Bồng Lai Quán (aka Swimming Pool café) for Chalk Talk by Chief Stoker (edited): “Several hundred metres downhill then turn right into jungle. Follow red tapes on dirt trail with fairly dense coverage of dry leaves, gradually becoming steeper with more rocks and slippery loose grit. “Eventually reach a series of rock steps leading up to Di Da Son Pagoda with several caves housing shrines, altars and some awesome religious artefacts. “Enjoy the views and photo opportunities, then follow concreted track out of jungle onto Nui Dinh access road. Turn right and walk several hundred metres downhill to start point at swimming pool café.” Total distance ~4.5km. Highlights: Many ‘gold’ religious artefacts in the Chùa Đi Đà Sơn (Di Da Son Pagoda) caves. The whole area and nearby lookout rocks are known by some older hands as ‘Magic Mountain’. Special interest: All VTH3 assets including ice boxes, shelving, etc now moved back to original storage room on restaurant side of Nắng Vũng Tàu complex as newly-constructed storage area on Lam Son side has been redesignated.
