DRAGON MOUNTAIN has all of my favourite things! A rich mythology and a tale of friendship, snarky dragons and daring deeds...this is the kind of breathless tale that leaves you hungry for the next instalment' – Roshani Chokshi, author of the ARU SHAH series I don’t understand why they didn’t specify these in the first place,” Ngo said. “There’s always something else.”Shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award, the Children’s Book of the Year (British Book Awards) and longlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award. The first book in the ROARsome DRAGON REALM series for 9+ readers! Perfect for those who love fantasy, magic, adventure and DRAGONS! Katie and Kevin We used to live in Hong Kong, and while we lived there we took a trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge in China, and that is where we had the inspiration for the setting of Camp Dragon in the first book. We also get a lot of inspiration for our dragons by watching nature shows. And mostly we are inspired by each other and our own imaginations. Dragon Mountain also boasts some of Ninh Binh’s most scenic trails, offering visitors plenty of opportunities to explore nature at its finest. You can trek through forests or take strolls along paths lined with ancient limestone formations. These walks are perfect for those looking to escape from their everyday lives and reconnect with nature in a tranquil setting. It has been his dream to open a public space where the Vietnamese diaspora could find peace within nature and celebrate its rich culture and history. In 2014, that vision came to life when he bought 360 acres of land by Ed R. Levin County Park and Spring Valley Golf Course. He invested millions of dollars into the park and named it The Dragon Mountain, or Thiên Long Sơn. Knight and Grab mapped out the distribution of lightning strikes in the Drakensburg and discovered that lightning significantly controls the evolution of the mountain landscapes because it helps to shape the summit areas – the highest areas – with this blasting effect.

Residents and community members who used to plan their entire weekend to visit The Dragon Mountain still think of the park with fond memories. Hiking is one of the most popular activities on Dragon Mountain, as it offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and seascape. There are plenty of trails to choose from, depending on your level of fitness or ambition. I loved the close bond between the dragons and the children, with each of the children bonding with a dragon and being given a special power to use in their fight against the dark dragons. There was such a sense of magic and awe as the children rode the dragons, and connected with them on such an emotional and empathetic level. I would love to say I’d like my own dragon, but I’m not sure I’d be brave enough – and I’m scared of heights -, which is why I love reading about them instead. So much safer! Are there any special cultural events that take place at Dragon Mountain? Yes, indeed! Ninh Binh is known for its rich culture and history. There are lots of festivals and celebrations happening all year round in the area. From traditional folk music performances to dragon boat races, the locals love to show off their culture with pride.a b c Reader's Digest Atlas of Southern Africa.
