So Ray Plantation Trail
Sở Rẫy
A hiking trail through rainforest to the former prisoner plantation, where wild macaques live along the way and the summit overlooks Con Son town.
So Ray was once a mountain plantation that prisoners were forced to clear during the prison era. It is now covered by rainforest. The hiking trail starts at the national park entrance. It is about 1.5 km one way with a climb of several hundred meters, passing tall trees, vines, and rocks, and long-tailed macaques are often seen. From the top you can look down on Con Son town, Quang Trung Lake, and the bay, with wide views. A national park ticket is required. The trail is slippery after rain, so bring plenty of water and do not feed the monkeys.
