Phan Thiet - Mui Ne

Roughly a 3-hour drive from Saigon, with its warm weather and year-round sunshine, Phan Thiet has become a sought-after destination for sea, sand, and sun enthusiasts. Boasting the most beautiful coastlines and dunes in Vietnam, Phan Thiet has captured the hearts of travelers who love to immerse themselves in refreshing waters, lounge on long stretches of dunes, or engage in fun activities amidst sprawling dunes.

But this land holds numerous valuable cultural and historical treasures, often overlooked by tourists – a forgotten civilization. Wandering through the city, once part of the Champa Kingdom, you will come across Kalan – temples of the Champa kingdom, remnants that still exist in modern times. Let’s explore fascinating historical and cultural stories from locals about a major civilization in Southeast Asia’s history. Phan Thiet also has other marks for modern history, closely linked to the Vietnam Revolution, which you can find at Duc Thanh School.

And in this coastal city, the lives of fishermen are bustling and lively! From the sea to the ports, the fishing villages nearby, or the boats carrying seafood into the city center, all offer fascinating experiences of local life that you shouldn’t miss out on!
