Bong Lai Valley
Thung lũng Bông Lai
A pastoral valley east of Phong Nha town. Cycle or ride a motorbike through rice paddies and karst peaks, with farm stalls along the way for a break.
Bong Lai Valley lies about 10 km east of Phong Nha town. It is an agricultural valley ringed by limestone hills, where rice fields, water buffalo, small villages and streams make up classic Vietnamese countryside scenery. Backpackers often explore by bicycle or motorbike. Along the route are several farm-stay spots where you can drink beer, ride swings, eat roast pork and feed ducks. Most roads are country lanes, so take care; they turn muddy after rain. Allow half a day, and head back to town in time for sunset.
