More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into an American army jeep at dawn and the road immediately begins to change — rice paddies flatten, then hills rise, and the sea appears like a living horizon daring you forward. Windows down, wind presses the salt scent and a chorus of coastal birds into the cabin; the driver picks clean lines through hairpin turns while the pass unfurls panoramic views of Lang Co bay and the South China Sea.
