Our first destination is Thien Huong Village, a quiet, ancient village located about 7 km from Dong Van Town. Though it remains relatively unknown to most tourists, Thien Huong is a hidden gem. Surrounded by stunning limestone formations and traditional architecture, it’s an ideal place for those who appreciate the peaceful beauty of the highlands. With its untouched landscapes and deep cultural roots, it’s truly a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
