Boating up to Chua Huong: Religious fervor in the mountains

We boated up to these mountain ranges yesterday...It was ridiculously breaktaking. A lot of Buddhists make the "pilgramage" up to these mountains to visit temples and pagodas and pray. It was like a freakin' circus up there after we docked.



This dude in the boat next to us rowed 30 people by himself! And I felt bad that a little old lady rowed 10 of us all the way down the river by herself...for an hour!



A view from the cable car that we had to take to get up to part of one of the mountains. It's like something out of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon!
