High on a grassy hillock, the open-sided East Hill is a laid-back spot for a sunset beer and Vietnamese snacks, and equally popular with travellers, and students from nearby Dong Hoi. Sit at the rustic shared wooden tables and take in great rural views. East Hill is around 8km east of Son Trach en route to the Bong Lai valley.
