Mui Ne is located in Southeast Vietnam and is popularly known as a beach resort town. The town is a popular weekend getaway and let’s look into the list of reasons why, along with what you can do there!
In Mui Ne, you can find some interesting details about the Hindu culture. These fine details are showcased proudly at the Po Shanu Cham Towers of Mui Ne. The towers go back to the 8th century and are located on the west of the Phan Thiet. To boot, there is a gallery displaying all cultural relics too. Po Shanu Cham Towers is on top of Ong Hoang Hill and has been an iconic place that plays tribute to the Champa Dynasty. The place comprises three towers that are built in reverence to Lord Shiva, Nandi and Agni; the Hindu deities.
The Fairy Stream is another must-visit place when in the beautiful Mui Ne. The stream is surrounded by lush greenery and coconut trees, making it a place fit for storybooks. This place is a paradise for avid photographers, offering captivating landscapes that are worthy of a place on your Instagram feed. The sand dunes and the rock formations are all merged beautifully making it a place of immense natural beauty. Rocks of white, yellow and tan colours stand out against the lush green in Fairy Stream; a small creek that runs alongside.
Head 30 kilometres southeast of the famous Phan Tiet City to witness the Takou Mountain. The view atop this mountain is spectacular. If you’re up for the challenge, you can hike to the top of the mountain, but if you’re in just for the views, then you can take a gondola to the top, where you can capture an outstanding panoramic view of the region. But that’s not it, the place is also marked as an important place for Buddhists where a breathtaking statue of the "Sakyamuni statue entering Nirvana” is located.
The Mui Ne Sand Dunes are a perfect compilation of both dunes and the beach. A sight to behold! The dunes are a mixture of colours ranging from white to red making it a place of immense beauty. Once you’ve enjoyed this, you can move on to the scenic view of the immaculate beaches in this area. And that’s what you will witness, a truly unique experience filled with beauty. The tranquil place is also the perfect place to spend some quality time with family and friends. You can check out a Phan Thiet resort the likes of Anantara Mui Ne Resort for a good dining experience as Phan Thiet is located approximately 30 minutes away from the sand dunes.
As we are now aware, there are plenty of scenic spots in Mui Ne. But, how about some activity? Some sport? Well, the most popular one out here in Mui Ne, is kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is the perfect water sport for tourists seeking some adrenaline rush. Most resorts and hotels do offer kitesurfing as part of their package, so make sure to have a look at it.
