Witnessing the rare S-shaped strip of land in Phu Yen

Phu Yen - The wild beauty of Mui Dien is a "breath of fresh air" for summer trips. Especially an S-shaped strip of land that is rare anywhere in Vietnam.

Mui Dien, also known as Mui Dai Lanh, is located in Hoa Tam commune, Dong Hoa district, Phu Yen province. This strip of land is part of Dai Lanh mountain range - a branch of Truong Son range jutting out into the East Sea. Photo: May Trang

Mui Dien was discovered in the late 19th century by a French general named Varella who recognized its important role on international nautical charts. Therefore, on old maps, this place is also called Cap Varella (Varella Cape). Photo: Trang Nguyen

In 1890, with the purpose of guiding ships operating at sea and entering Vung Ro Bay, at Mui Dien, the French built a lighthouse 26.5m high from the building's foundation and 110m above sea level. To reach the lighthouse, visitors will have to climb more than 100 spiral stairs. Photo: Trang Nguyen

In 2008, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized Bai Mon - Mui Dien as a national scenic relic. This is the place where the first sunrise on the mainland of Vietnam is welcomed. Photo: May Trang

This scenic spot, when viewed from a bird's eye view, looks like a miniature S-shaped strip of land right at the easternmost point of the country. Photo: May Trang

"Some people still think that Phu Yen only has yellow flowers and green grass. This summer, if you go to Phu Yen, you must definitely go to Mui Dien. Even though you can't see the sunrise here, the sunlight is still so beautiful, the sea is so blue, the trees and grass shine brightly. It's really beautiful," said tourist Nguyen Quynh Trang.
