Binh Thuan is a
coastal province, lying in the south of Vietnam,
200 km away from Ho Chi Minh City,
with nearly 200 km of coastline which makes up beautiful beaches. Phan Thiet is
the capital of Binh Thuan province. This town is well known for fishing
industry and the popular Vietnamese fish sauce. Off Phan Thiet 24 km to the
North East is Mui Ne, an ideal tourist site and a source of inspiration for
artists and for relaxation. There are desolate and primeval beaches that have
never witnessed human exploitation as well as imposing landscapes. There is
also Doi Cat (Sand Hill), which has long been a creative subject of artistic
photographs and paintings. Besides beaches and sand dunes, there are also
beautiful landscapes such as Suoi Tien (Fairy Spring), the Ong Building
and the Poshanu Tower.
Mui Ne is found on
Highway No. 706, and features sweeping sand dunes and beautiful rows of palm
trees. The beach is shallow and sloped, the water is clean and blue and the sun
rarely hides behind clouds. Mui Ne has long been considered the "Hawaii" of Vietnam. It boasts shady roads
under coconut trees, a beautiful beach and cliffs battered by the waves of the
sea. The typical scenery of Mui Ne lies in the moving lines of golden sand
caused by the wind and when they are seen from afar they look like moving
waves.
The scenery looks more
fascinating at dawn, when young Cham girls in green dresses go to work. That's
why no photographer fails to visit this area. Mui Ne is an ideal place for rest
and relaxation. Visitors can certainly enjoy swimming in the blue water of the
sea, climbing the sand dunes or relaxing by a swimming pool. In fact this oasis
entertainment people of all ages, and furthermore, provides an endless
inspiration to the artists' creation.
