If you're tired of the usual coastal route from Long Hai to Ho Coc to Ho Tram, consider taking this forest route back to Saigon.
Discover What Awaits You on the Beautiful Binh Chau - Tan Thanh Forest Route in Ba Ria Vung Tau
Stretching approximately 65km, this newly paved route will significantly shorten your travel time. Not to mention, the magnificent scenery will leave you mesmerized as you pass through.
Rubber Forest
From Binh Chau, take National Highway 55, and at the Dinh Huong petrol station intersection, turn right to embark on this new road. Just past the DT328 intersection, you'll encounter sprawling rubber forests, offering a cool and refreshing welcome. The rubber trees here have been grown for many years, towering tall with broad, leafy canopies.
Feel free to choose any small road to drive into, take photos to your heart's content without fear of anyone scolding you. If you visit around December or January, when the rubber trees shed their leaves, you may feel a bit overwhelmed by the incredibly romantic scenery that you usually only see in calendars or unique wedding photos.
Suoi Rao Lake
Suoi Rao Lake may not be on the tourist map favored by many, but it's a destination you shouldn't miss if you love fishing. Simply because the terrain here is quite dangerous, although close to the shore, the water is still deep, surrounded by many thorny trees. But it's precisely because few people venture here that the fish in the lake thrive.
Some come to Suoi Rao Lake to find moments of tranquility beside their fishing rods, while others come for the picturesque scenery that seems to transport them to Da Lat at some point. Taking a stroll around the lake, you can see endless orange groves, and sugarcane fields, making you crave for more.
Suoi Nghe Sheep Field
When you visit Suoi Nghe village, you definitely can't miss the famous sheep field. The Suoi Nghe sheep field was formed from an empty, arid piece of land, scorched by the sun all year round. But since some households started releasing sheep to graze, the sheep field has suddenly become a favorite tourist spot for young people and couples taking wedding photos.
Initially, sheep farming households primarily raised sheep for meat and wool. However, after tourists started coming for photoshoots and sightseeing, locals began offering tourism services. To attract more visitors, sheep owners even bought a few horses to graze together, creating more appealing highlights for tourists' photos.
Silver Stone Fountain
In 2015, this place became known for its 'unusual' fountain spraying up to 20 meters high. This June, the Silver Stone Fountain has been transformed into an eco-tourism area with many enticing tourism services. In addition to the fountain area, there's also a fruit orchard, allowing you to camp and fish all day long. Food and beverage services are also fully provided. The entrance fee is currently only 25,000 VND per person, very cheap for a tour, isn't it?
Traveling on this road, you won't get lost because you just need to keep going straight to reach National Highway 51. The winding road up and down the hills gives you the feeling of being in some mountainous urban area.
The lush green scenery on both sides of the road will make all your tiredness disappear. If you're planning a trip to Binh Chau, Ke Ga Cape, or Phan Thiet, why not experience this route at least once?
