Chalk talk by Secs (edited): Walk 1-2 km through the hamlet (“left turn, right turn, left turn, right turn, repeat: on-on!”) then several hundred stone steps onto Destiny Mountain (part of the ‘Long Hai’ chain), one section with convenient handrails.
Follow Hares and/or red ribbons across the mountain along duff-strewn jungle trail to lookout rocks at a highly decorative temple with several beautiful shrines on Hong Dung peak.
Complete ‘full circle’ with steep, often slippery descent over moss-covered rocks, a dry creek bed, past an open air café (“Xin chao, xin chao!”) and back through Hai Binh hamlet to the eco resort. Total distance ~5km.
Highlights: Panoramic views and intricate shrines at lookout rocks on Hon Dung peak. Several other eye-catching shrines and artefacts scattered around the mountainside.
