Bagging It!
Also known as Đỉnh Chiêu Lau Thi, this is easily reached by a road to near the top, if there isn’t a landslide which can happen and means you have to start a few km down the road. The views at the top look great.

Origins and Meaning
“Chieu Lau Thi” comes from local ethnic language (likely Dao or Hmong) and loosely translates as “Nine-tiered Heaven” or “Nine-stair ascent”, referencing the 9 carved stair segments cut into the mountain by colonial-era workers to the summit. The French reportedly built those “nine flight” stone steps during colonial resistance periods to use the mountain as a lookout, which is reflected in the local name: Chiêu Lầu (“nine‑flight stairs”), Thi (“rock” or “peak”).
