QL-14D: Highway to the Frontier
Deep in the mountains of western Quang Nam, a small highway leaves the Ho Chi Minh Road just west of Thanh My. This highway travels deep into the mountains and jungles of Nam Giang District, ultimately stretching all the way to the Vietnam-Laos border. Along the way are numerous ethnic villages filled with people of many groups, including the Co Tu, Ta Rieng, and Gie Trieng, as well as some stunning old growth forests and some incredible views. The area is developing quickly, especially in the form of hydropower, and numerous reservoirs have already been created, and more are on the way. This is a guide to this highway- the 14-D- and what you can expect to find on it. For now I've only posted the first two sections; Section 3 will be posted soon! Thanks for reading and enjoy!
