A black ribbon between two turquoise banks

When Nguyen Tat Thanh Road – the 21km long "black silk ribbon" crossing the white sand dunes and Cu Hin Pass – was completed in May 2004, connecting Cam Ranh Airport to Nha Trang, the barren sandy strip seemed to awaken as dozens of high-end resorts and hotels were built, dotting the landscape like lush green gardens.

At the end of Bai Dai Beach, the road winds along the slopes of Cu Hin Mountain towards Nha Trang city center. The fresh sea breeze caressed us under the bright golden sun as we walked, seemingly weaving between two shades of green skillfully arranged by nature: on one side, the verdant green of the mountain forest, and on the other, the deep blue of the sea, with waves crashing against the towering cliffs, creating white foam.
