Itinerary description

Hello and welcome to the North Loop! We start our looo by going through the mountain to the other valley. From there you have an spectacular view from high over all the valley. Notice how incredible that road is made so high on such a steep hill. Slowly you walk to the right around the mountain starting to see more and more the fence China put behind its landborders.

At a certain point you see in front on the left of the road big trees. The perfect shade point to have lunch on the there put but half broken stonen chairs and tables. Worked fine for us!

After you continue your walk you see better and better the view of chinas fences. Note the road up (we walked a little bit passed it). Or go down back to Dong Van walking through the right of the slcity through some fields. Or, as we did, climb your way up to the highest point closeby Po Lo. Crazy long up but fun authentic villages with beautiful scenery on clear days.

We end our trip at homestay sisi where we sleep for 500k (590 original price) with great views over Dong Van.

Enjoy, see you soon!
