A cool, sunny day in Nhon Ly

Tourists visiting Quy Nhon often seek out Ky Co - Eo Gió in Nhon Ly commune (about 30km from Quy Nhon city) to admire the pristine, dreamy scenery of the sea, sky, and rocky mountains. Also along the route to Nhon Ly, there is an ancient fishing village that is undergoing a transformation, becoming an increasingly well-known experiential destination. Following our local guide, we arrived in Nhơn Lý on an early summer day. Because we left the city quite late, the sun was already high in the sky when we arrived. From afar, the sunlight danced like sparkling glass beads on the deep blue sea. The jagged, old-fashioned rooftops gradually came into view. Houses in Nhơn Lý are typically only one or two stories high, mostly facing the sea. There are many small paths into the village; we chose the one paved with dark blue-black stones, which the locals often call the "blue stone road." This path is actually a winding alleyway through the village, and what's special is that both sides are lined with many vibrant and lively murals. Because of these murals, the fishing village has become increasingly well-known, becoming a popular check-in spot for young people under the name "Nhon Ly Mural Village". There are many decorative details in Nhon Ly that are blue. We playfully exclaimed, "Wow, we're in Santorini now!" The blue windows, blue lampshades, and giant blue fish decorations on a wall along the slope delighted many tourists, who lined up to take pictures.

Adding a touch of charm to that green landscape are rows of bougainvillea trees laden with vibrant pink blossoms in the sunlight. The fishing village, with its winding alleys and gently sloping paths, reminded me of the charming little lanes in Da Lat or the mural villages that attract many tourists in the coastal city of Busan (South Korea).
