We had chance to communicate to the farmer on dragon fruit farm and the cycling route was so great, our tour guide Ha was knowledgable and hospitality. The ferries were one of our unforgettable memories, only 1 way get in and get out and the beautiful landscape. We didn’t meet any tourist on the trip and thankful for all the experiences.
