Hello everyone! Welcome to Mui Ne, the most famous

tourist centre in Binh Thuan Province.
This place is famous for its long blue beach and
beautiful sand dunes with a straight coastal road lined
with coconut trees.
Visitors can come to Mui Ne all year round. From
April to August, it is the best time to travel to Mui Ne
because the sea water is clear and cool at this time.

From Ho Chi Minh City, visitors can easily travel to

Mui Ne by motorbike, bus, or train. From Hanoi,
visitors can fly to Ho Chi Minh City and continue to
move to Phan Thiet.

First, let's go to Hon Rom - a small, still wild
mountain located in Long Son hamlet, Mui Ne ward,
Phan Thiet city. Tourists should come to Hon Rom in
the early morning or late afternoon to watch the
sunrise and sunset. This is also an ideal camping
spot. The beach at Hon Rom has smooth waves and
clear blue seawater.

Near Hon Rom is one of the most beautiful

landscapes in Mui Ne - Pink Sand Dunes. In addition
to the long, wavy sand beaches, the color of the sand
is also an attraction for tourists. Here, you can play
sandboarding to find new feelings - the most fun
game in Mui Ne. You can also rent a motorbike and
ride to see the sand dunes and take many beautiful
photos.

And here is Bau Trang - the natural freshwater lake

located between immense white sand dunes. Coming
to Bau Trang in the summer, visitors can admire
thousands of lotus flowers blooming among the white
sand dunes.
Fairy Stream is a place you cannot miss when
coming to Mui Ne. Here there is a small stream next
to Hon Rom. Next to the stream are natural red and
white hills with many strange shapes.

When traveling to Mui Ne, don't forget to enjoy

delicious dishes. Mui Ne specialties make every
tourist who eats them once will never forget them:
grilled rice paper with shrimp paste, banh can, banh

wet cave, you will need to sit on a boat during the

limestone cave here with very beautiful stalactites.

park has extremely poetic forest and water
landscapes. You can participate in kayaking, walk
through the forest on a wooden bridge, or
participate in exciting rope games.
