Phan Rang
DISCOVERING NINH THUAN - THE LAND OF SUNNY WIND AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COASTAL ROAD IN VIETNAM 🏞
🚗 From Nha Trang, I took Duc Loc bus to Phan Rang city (2 hours)
🏡 Where to stay: I stayed at 1995 homestay Phan Rang - No. 1 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, the homestay is right in the center. The room is spacious, cozy, the owner is very enthusiastic.
🚧 ITINERARY: I have 2 days here so I will try to explore the highlights
🚸 Day 1: NAM CUONG SAND DUNES
- Because I arrived in Phan Rang from Nha Trang at 4 pm, I took the opportunity to go to Nam Cuong sand dunes to catch the sunset. The sand dunes are 10km from the city, just a little walk and you'll arrive
- The road is very windy, everyone should be careful, especially when crossing the bridge.
- When you get there, park your car for 10k at a local's house and then walk to take pictures and explore. The sand dunes here are divided into 2 yellow and white areas, adding a bit of sunset makes for beautiful photos.
- In the evening, go around Phan Rang night market, I went during the fair and got to watch Lotto which was quite fun.
🚸 DAY 2: HANG RAI - VINH HY BINH TIEN ROAD - DAM NAI WIND POWER FIELD - AN HOA SHEEP FIELD
- Depart from the city to Hang Rai 30km with the scorching heat. Everyone should pay attention to wear sunscreen. Don't get as dark as me
- Entrance ticket to Hang Rai is 20k. Here is wild, the sea is blue and the rock formation is super beautiful. In general, just take a random photo and you will have a beautiful photo without much editing
- From Hang Rai, I went to Vinh Hy Bay, it is a port. To get to the bay, I had to take a boat, so I stopped because it was noon
- I moved to the sacred check-in corner. At the top of the pass, there is a small cafe, and when I saw a lot of people there, I saw
- Then I followed that road to the coastal road of Vinh Hy - Binh Tien. I really couldn't believe my eyes because of the beauty before my eyes, on one side was the cliff of the pass, on the other side was the blue sea. I stopped and took photos countless times. YOU MUST GO THROUGH THIS ROAD ONCE, EVERYONE, it's so beautiful. Even though it was sunny and windy at 1pm, it was completely worth it.
- Follow that road to reach National Highway 1A. On the way, you will see many wind farms next to the golden fields. But to find a good angle to take pictures, you have to pay attention to the entrance. It is on the left side of the national road in the direction you are going from QL1A to the city. Go on a few village roads for 200m and you will reach the corner that people often take pictures.
From the wind farm, go another 10km to An Hoa sheep field. The road here is a bit winding, remember to check the map carefully and ask the locals. Entrance fee is 35k/person. Add a bucket of vegetables to feed the sheep for 10k
- The sheep here are very cute. When they see people coming in, they run to them in a flock, throwing vegetables for them to eat as if they were wrapped up in a pile. So cute
- There is also a tamarind garden full of fruit. You can snack on them and bring back a few bunches.
For me, 2 days of exploring these places is enough. It is located on the same arc so it is very convenient. As for the grape garden, I saw that it was still green so I didn't go in anymore. I quickly returned to the city, checked out and got on the bus to Phan Thiet at 5am.
