About Mui Né (Binh Thuan Province).
Phan Thiet is the provincial capital of Binh Thuan Province and is
located 200 km east of Saigon on Highway Nº1, which runs from Ho Chi
Minh City (Saigon) to Nha Trang, then to Hanoi. The most beautiful part
of the Provinces 200km of coast line is the Bay of Mui Né. Binh Thuan
Province is considered to be the driest area in all of Vietnam with an
average temperature of 26,6 Cº, and an average annual rainfall of 1,008
mm. The Mui Né
Bay, which is situated just a few kilometers out of Phan Thiet, offers
a stretch of more than 16 km of pristine white sand beaches, bordered
with coconut trees and the famous Red Sand Dunes as background.
These sand dunes stretch well beyond the Mui Né Cape and are a perfect
spot for excursions off the beaten track. The fishing industry being
the most important economy factor of the Province, the fishing harbors
of Phan Thiet and Mui Né with their thousands of colorful traditional
fishing boats are definitely worth seeing.
Activities.
Hon Rom and its Red Sand Dunes
- an excursion off the beaten tracks! Take one of our excursion to Mui
Ne or to the White Lake and discover these amazing dunes for yourself.
A Jeep (and a driver) is available to take you there daily morning or
afternoon, although we personally recommend an early morning start.
Ta Ku Mountain lies 25 km from Phan Thiet on the way to
Saigon. After a 40 minutes drive, things start getting somewhat
“sporty” with a 1½ hour climb up Ta Ku Mountain. When at the top, there
will be plenty of time for you to rest and enjoy the sight of the 49m
long, 10m high lying Buddha statue. A breathtaking view over the valley
also awaits you. These sights can be savored while enjoying the picnic
breakfast that our accompanying staff member will prepare for you. The Phan Thiet Market
is a very interesting one - much bigger than anyone would expect to
find in such a small provincial town. We take you to visit the Market
accompanied by our Chef. On the way back we will stop to visit the Po
Chanus Cham Towers, which are the oldest remains of the ancient Champa
Kingdom. After a short transfer from your hotel to the Phan Thiet
Harbour, you will board a Sampan Boat for a ride on the Ca Ty River. Enjoy the view of the Phan Thiet wharf and see closely the fishermen’s daily lives. After the boat ride, you will discover Phan Thiet
by riding through the town with Cyclos. Visit the Chinese Pagoda and
the Central Market. In Phu Hai you board a motorboat for a nice ride
along the Phu Hai River to enjoy the view of the wharf and the
fish catching activity on the river. You then leave the boat to visit
the oldest house of the village and you will also see how the famous
Rice Paper is made. And to finish your tour you get a chance to visit
one of the Fishsauce (Nuoc Mam) Factories.
