Itinerary description
Nice hike with amazing views on fields terraces and chinese mountains.
I would recommand to skip the ascension of Si Phai Mount at the beginning of the hike (the view is nice but it is still a view on Dong Van and views on natural lanscapes are much nicer), also to skip the last loop going to the guesthouse and the chinese border (because you have to walk most of the time on a paved road)...
And so you should be able to do the hike in only one day ! ... once you arrive in the village of Lung Tao, just took the path going through "Viewpoint on the way back". Once you arrive on the main road, you can hitchhike.
If you really want to do the 2 days hike and see the chinese border, be aware that you would have to walk a lot on the paved road, so it is not the best (or hitchhike like I did).
You can eat in Lung Tao and at the guesthouse but I did not see any other restaurant along the way.
