Located on Ba Nai Hill, about 7 km northeast of Phan Thiet, Poshanu Tower is one of the most important remains of Cham culture. Today there are only three towers left including the 15-meter-high main tower with 3 floors, facing toward the east, since in Cham culture, it is believed that the east is home of gods.

Hon Rom Island

Hon Rom, famous for gorgeous landscapes, is considered one of the most popular tourist attractions in Mui Ne. The island has its name originating from the shape of itself from a distance. In dry season, straw on the island turns yellow at once, making the whole island look like a giant pile of straw (straw in Vietnamese means “Rom”). Hon Rom also manifests its beauty in the pristine seashores in the southwest coast and stones with various shapes lying peacefully in the east coast. Gazing westward from the island, you can see sand dunes hidden behind bushes and cactuses. They all highlight the charm of nature on the island and entirely contribute to the magnificence of Phan Thiet.

Mui Ne Flying Sand Dune

Stretching an area of over 50 hectares formed long time ago, Flying Sand Dune is a second-to-known masterpiece of Mui Ne. While you can descend snow-covered slopes in many Western countries, now in Vietnam, you can smoothly slide on sand. From the top of the dunes, you can peer down far-reaching views covered with turquoise water of the sea and sparkling sand under the glorious sunshine. The most convincible reason for visiting this place may be that the entrance ticket is completely free, the parking fee costs next to nothing and with only 20,000 VND, you can feel free to hire a plastic board to enjoy thrilling moments while performing your cool sliding skills. The destination now attracts not only travelers but also photographers who are inspired by nature’s hidden charm.

Along the bank of the lake are rows of casuarina trees which greatly cool down the heat from sand dunes around.

Fairy Spring

Phan Thiet has long been favored by majestic sand dunes, picturesque beaches and tempting seafood. But many may still feel strange to this fantastic spring as it is just a small stream near Hon Rom, partly hidden by huge sand dunes. Countless stalactites with distinctive shapes along the spring bank make the untouched landscapes look like long unforgotten shrines or citadels.
