Mui Yen Scenic Area

The weather in May, early in the morning but the sun was blazing hot, our group's 4 large displacement motorbikes had a hard time getting through the sandy road.

Mr. Nguyen Long - a backpacker in the group said: "Mui Yen is only about four kilometers from Bau Trang scenic spot and Trinh Nu sand hill, but ordinary tourists rarely set foot here, if any, they are only backpackers who like to explore new things of nature. Because to get to Mui Yen, you have to cross many sand slopes and gravel, boulders; the sand strips on both sides of the road are as wide as a "desert", every time the wind blows strongly, you hear a whistling sound like a flute, the tiny sand grains hit your face and hurt your skin...". And old fisherman Nguyen Hoa Sanh in Hoa Thang commune, over 70 years old, shared: “The coast of Hoa Thang has gentle hills of various shapes extending hundreds of meters out to sea. Some places, looking down from above, look like giant swallows falling into the ocean. Many strong waves crash into the rocks, creating white foam. Over time, the foot of the hills jutting out into the sea have formed strange caves. During the dry season, thousands of swallows fly back to make nests. Therefore, the local people of Hoa Thang are used to calling this place Mui Yen…”.

Yen Cape and the rocky hills jutting out into the sea are reddish brown, covered with green bushes and grass above; between the two hills stretching out to the sea is a fine white sand beach curving like an arrow; the pebble beach has many colors similar to the small rocky beach in Binh Thanh. When the sky is clear, the golden sunlight spreads out to see Yen Cape like a watercolor painting with all the colors of nature.

And also from the top of Mui Yen, looking far away towards Mui Ne, we can see Hon Rom towering above the blue sea. A fisherman on the shore of Mui Yen said: “Every year in spring, many swiftlets choose the caves here to nest and live. On the rocky hills about 30m above sea level, there are many surrounding vegetations, creating a wild and romantic landscape. In the dry season, the fine white sand beaches interspersed with small, undulating rocks exposed on the sea surface look so beautiful and charming. On the hillside, backpackers and photographers often pitch tents and camp overnight to watch the moon hanging over the sea and the sunrise at Mui Yen...”.

It can be said that Mui Yen - a beautiful and pristine landscape, with high mountains, white sand beaches, small undulating rocks and colorful pebble beaches has created a masterpiece of nature. To exploit the beauty of Mui Yen, a business has registered to invest heavily in building a resort, combining an eco -tourism area with an area of over 100 hectares, but the project has not yet started. Hopefully, in the near future, Mui Yen landscape, hidden behind the "desert", along the coast of Hoa Thang, will be awakened and become an attractive destination.
