Going to the island, the first impression is that the island is very clean and planted with many coconuts Conquering Ma Thien Lanh peak On Hon Son island, there are 7 peaks, of which Ma Thien Lanh is the most famous for its mysterious stories. With an altitude of 450m above sea level, this is the highest mountain in Hon Son island, so it attracts many tourists to visit and conquer. To climb the mountain without losing strength, the first night we booked a room at Lamien Lodge. The hotel is located halfway up the mountain, on the way to the top of Ma Thien Lanh. The room is located entirely in the forest and has a view of the entire Hon Son sea from above. Here, you can be completely immersed in nature, use the direct spring water of Ma Thien Lanh peak and say no to air conditioning, hot and cold water. Note, when you choose to stay on the mountain, remember to only bring a backpack, not a suitcase, you will not be able to carry or pull it up because the road is quite difficult. However, if you bring a suitcase, there will be a pick up service for you, each up / down is 150,000 VND. In particular, the phone signal here is very poor, only occasionally available, only for direct calls, but cannot access the Internet, very suitable for those who need complete rest. A few notes when climbing – It is recommended to wear and bring clothes made of cool, sweat-absorbing fabrics to move freely.- Women who wear short clothes should use mosquito repellent, because forest mosquitoes are many and bite very painful.- Climbing shoes must be light, hug your feet to avoid foot pain.- Items to bring such as flashlights, knives, drinking water (1.5 liters/person) and light food.- Remember to preserve the landscape forests, limit littering. After checking in, you can order a lunch of steamed garlic chicken, or salted steamed chicken, made by the people you meet along the way when you check in. After eating and resting, around 1:30 pm you start to conquer the remaining road of Ma Thien Lanh peak. From here, the road will be more difficult to go. On the way up the mountain, you will be told by the guide fascinating stories, handed down from ancient times, about Pho Tinh Pagoda, Lo Thien Pagoda, Monk Uncle Uncle, mountain ascetics and Even the fairies descended,… Just climbed to the top of the mountain while listening to stories, the way was also closer. Conquering Ma Thien Lanh peak is an unforgettable experience for visitors when coming to Hon Son In order to facilitate farming, travel and live here, people make stairs convenient for going up the mountain. The scenery on both sides of the road is very poetic and wild, the atmosphere is clear and cool. A few notes when traveling independently is that if you get lost, follow the water line. This is a small trick, passed down by the people who often go to the mountain. Stop at Lo Thien Phat Pagoda, you have gone 1/3 of the way to the top of Ma Thien Lanh. The road from there to the top of the mountain is becoming more and more difficult and challenging when it is no longer a cement road, three steps, instead a small path. Not only that, on the way there are luxuriant trees, the sound of birds and gibbons howling, making your trip more mysterious, thrilling and interesting. The reward is often worth it when climbing to the top of the mountain Setting foot on the top of the mountain, your efforts are also rewarded, all fatigue, body aches seem to disappear.
