Postcard from Central Highlands
The world is full of beautiful places, but Southeast Asia seems to have a monopoly on unspoiled landscapes. I’ve been awestruck by the jutting limestone cliffs of Railay, the sweeping white beaches and leaning palms of Phu Quoc, the stunning sunsets on Gili Trawangan. But the Central Highlands in Vietnam was overwhelming: from floating villages to impossibly green rice paddies to picture-perfect valleys surrounded by mountains, it seemed like there was a more striking view around every turn.
I was fairly miserable for most of my three-day motorcycle trip through the region, but it was impossible not to appreciate the beauty that was streaming past on my open-air tour. The Central Highlands quickly became one of my favorite regions in Southeast Asia–and after going through all my photos, it’s not hard to see why.
What’s your favorite photo of the Central Highlands?
