Vung Tau is a popular vacation destination mostly for its beaches. Just 90 minutes away from Ho Chi Minh City, one can already behold and experience the long, breathtaking waters of the area. Moreover, the place is abound with wonderful facilities such as massage centers that gives its visitors the true meaning of getaway.
But if you explore the area deep enough, you will discover that its mountains are just as captivating as its waters. The two famous mountains of Vung Tau are simply but aptly called Big Mountain and Small Mountain. In the former, one can find the Cloud Lake Cultural and Ecotourism center which tourists will surely enjoy. There are two ways to reach the peak, either by cable car, which is faster and more convenient, or by driving (a motorcycle/ scooter), which is quite a long drive, depending on your choice of adventure.
For the more daring ones who prefer driving to the peak, they will have the pleasure of witnessing the spectacular view of the scenery along the way. If one’s intention is to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect choice since one cannot see any buildings at all, but miles and miles of tall trees on both sides of the road. If you get hungry along the way, there is a café halfway up the trip where you can eat and rest for a while. Moreover, the drive presents a breathtaking view of Cloud Lake, an experience all in all that is truly priceless.
