Núi Sam Address

Núi Sam

Sam Mount is a sacred place for the Vietnamese and on its slopes there are numerous temples and pagodas. This hill is situated about 5 kilometers southwest of Chau Doc so you have to take a car or motorbike to climb it. However, it is better to go in a powerful car, as the climb is very steep and an engine or brake failure could have bad consequences. For me, the best things are the spectacular mountain views from above. It looks down perfectly on the Mekong Delta and the rice fields, even the Cambodian border. Throughout the journey to Vietnam and Cambodia, the rain held off but at the height of monsoon, it was normal that sooner or later we would have a shower.

During one intense downpour, we decided to take refuge in one of the temples where we met the Chua Xu and the Phat Thay Tay W, which was a great and memorable experience.
