Spending a day or two in Ho Chi Minh City can be interesting but, can also be quite hectic and busy. To get away from the city's madness, there is a small fishing village nearby and that's Mui Ne. Mui Ne is also popular among the tourists and locals alike and there's a lot you can try out here.
Although you find busses in Mui Ne, that's not really the best way to get to wherever you want, whenever you want. In Mui Ne, you have to try exploring the village on two wheels. Motorbikes are available for rent just for this purpose! The roads are almost empty and on a bike, you can simply hunt for all the hidden treasures of the village. Inquire from the Mui Ne resort that you stay at about the bike renting spots, and they will surely give you sufficient information.
Vietnam is a blessed country with waterfalls, national parks, caves, and so much more. In Mui Ne, you also find the best sand dunes of the country. If you are someone who is interested to have a quad biking experience, the white sand dunes are what you'll be looking for. There are also the red sand dunes much closer to the town, and the best sunset moments are always captured here.
What's the whole point of being in a fishing village, if you don't get the first-hand experience? You just have to wake up a little earlier than usual, and head to the beach. Make sure you take the camera with you as you will want to capture the sunrise when you see it, and then you'll love the scene of how the fishermen start their day early in the morning. You'll quickly notice that fishing is more of a family thing here, as everyone in the family (even the kids) do something to help their parents who are involved in this activity.
At world-class resort here the likes of Anantara Mui Ne resort you get to enjoy meals that you've got used to (be it- pizzas, kebabs, or burgers), but they also serve fully authentic Vietnamese seafood dishes. Most of these dishes will fall under the seafood category and keep in mind, that they all taste absolutely delicious. They use the freshest ingredients of all, emanating the best of fragrances.
Have you heard of the Thap Po Nagar in Nha Trang? Well, in Mui Ne you find some historical towers similar to them and they are called the 'Po Shanu Cham'. Quite obviously, they also belong to the Cham Kingdom and experts believe that these amazing towers must have been built during the 9th century. The towers are on the Ong Hoang Hill and once you reach the top after a climb, you get to the picturesque views of the coastline and Phan Thiet as well.
