  1. What should be tested and where should it be done?
    -A bicycle or a pair of feet is used as the mode of transportation (running, climbing). There are several lengthy and steep slopes (18掳) as well as some softer slopes (10掳). It is not recommended for people who are new to riding or practicing. Oh, but if you still want to beat burnout and create a lifetime of experiences as I did, I welcome your enthusiasm.

The coordinates of this object are.... If the weather is excellent and there is no fog, you will see the first stunning dawn over the sea here. However, if you want to catch the first rays of sunlight, I recommend going around 2 a.m. if you're jogging and 3 a.m. if you're cycling.

There are around 6 kilometers of lengthy road and 13 kilometers of twisting semi-mountain road between the city center and the lighthouse, which runs beside high mountain slopes and coastal cliffs. Many sports people list it as one of their favorite roads for testing endurance and endurance, especially for foreigners with exceptional physical strength.

Furthermore, with big, narrow slopes and sharp bends that are largely hidden from view, as well as small potholes and small pebbles caused by rain water washing into the roadbed, the road becomes increasingly unsafe and dangerous. risk-takers are enthralled. Not to mention the wild animals that cross the road unexpectedly on steep portions when bicyclists or motorcyclists are speeding downhill.

For prevention, you'll need to carefully pack snacks, enough drinking water, spare intestines, car repair equipment, and a simple first aid kit. Because there are no stores or houses to seek for assistance or to buy and sell. Walking along the roadside for motorbikes with flat tires will find cell phone numbers scribbled on rocks or medians, and occasionally even graffiti on the pavement near to the pedestrian way. You can request drinking water at the lighthouse management station (rain water or boiled water) because there is no spring to supply water.

  1. What happened to my prize?
  • Blue: is the most rewarding color; you will be followed by virtually the entire color adventure. For those seeking simple beauty, the color of severely protected and deep woodlands, as well as colorful roadside flowers. Because the blue color covers what's left of the mountains and trees, and practically every position on the road is from above, you'll get a more accurate and complete sense of the color. These elements contribute to the journey's pleasant fresh and cool environment.

We left the meeting spot at 4:30 a.m. to beat the heat and get back to the city in time for breakfast before 10 a.m., which is the greatest time for bikers because the roads are empty and cool. batch. We, as nature lovers, will find it difficult to resist the urge to seek out the green of the trees and the blue of the sea. It was a very lovely day on that particular day, which served to emphasize the color's genuine magnificence.

-Wildlife: birds, wild chickens, monkeys, and especially the uncommon brown-shanked douc langur can all be seen early in the morning. It is the peninsula's mascot, known as the primate queen due to its unusual coloring. Because they are shy, the only places to see them are on desolate roads like these where they make little noise, such as when cycling or jogging. They generally dwell in groups (about ten individuals) on the trees near the route, so you don't have to go too far into the forest to see them. It will be advantageous if you have a camera with a good zoom lens or binoculars.

We ride gently and frequently stop to relax and observe them in silence; they will nevertheless notice and scrutinize us at first. However, as long as we remain quiet and do not move too much, they will become accustomed to it and will continue to feed. Unfortunately, with huge distances and trees in the way, personal phones can't help much. It makes no difference to our eyes that it has a resolution that no other top camera can match. (I'll provide images of them after I've linked the source to a photographer. I know a wildlife family -Dang Thu Thuy)

-Dawn: of course, it can only be viewed on the road; the intriguing part is that the scenery varies and the image changes with each segment. The sun follows you or vice versa, and there is an amazing beauty to behold at all times. Isn't the appealing red-orange color, which appears when the sun is still low in the sky, a wonderful present for you as you use your muscles to ascend the slopes?

We pedal not only for the delights of stories and jokes to be felt when the sun affects all living things, but also for the joys of stories and jokes to be felt when the sun affects all living things. We pedal in solitude from time to time to listen to the wind, insects, and waves breaking against the cliff below. Feel the sun's scorching rays on your sweating flesh. When ascending uphill, feel the coldness as you reach the summit of a given slope.

Besides, we're looking for fun in the same way that children do; life takes us too seriously, therefore we bring people together who share common interests and a sense of humour. People often make fun of me while I'm biking uphill and abruptly stop to throw my bike to the side and take pictures for everyone. Or, in a descent due to a steep slope, I pressed the brake but the speed was still high, so I used my feet to rest on the front tire to slow down due to foolish reflexes. As a result, the shoes became trapped in the wheel, forcing the automobile to roll from back to front, a slang term we call "frog pounce," leading the brother running behind to giggle instead of being concerned about me. It's just a few little blemishes, but it adds to my scar collection.

  • Directions - Travel up the mountain on Hoang Sa Road to the North Beach Junction (with the barrier of the InterContinental resort), turn right and descend

  • At the next fork, choose the right fork to get down to the lighthouse; the left fork is a dead end; take the right fork to get down to the lighthouse along the coastal mountainside.

  • Because going straight is a dead end, turn right in the direction of the sign down to the lighthouse management station cum border station (notice that the slope is treacherous with moss, so you should stroll down).

  • The cost of a ticket is 20,000 VND per person (about $1 USD), though I don't think it's fair that people have to pay taxes to keep the lighthouse running.
  • As a bonus, there are some lovely bent bonsai trees here. It is bent from the time the seedling is removed or bent to the owner's chosen position with a little wire. And it grew in that position and was pruned to fit in with the tree.
