Director Ly Hai's film Lat Mat 8 earned more than 100 billion VND in revenue after only a few days of release. Many viewers were not only moved by the tearful father-son story but also fascinated by the wild and majestic scenery where the characters lived and grew up.
One of the settings that creates a strong visual impression is Bau Trang Tourist Area, Bac Binh District, Binh Thuan Province - a place known as the "little Sahara desert" of Vietnam.
The enchanting contrasting beauty of desert and oasis
Bau Trang is a rare scenic complex combining immense white sand dunes, large freshwater lakes and low coastal forests.
From above, this place looks like a surreal painting with winding sand strips surrounding the clear blue lake, creating a contrasting scene between aridity and coolness, between burning sun and gentle water.
Bau Trang, a place known as the "Little Sahara" of Binh Thuan, has a captivating beauty.
Located about 48km from Phan Thiet city center, Bau Trang consists of two large lakes, Bau Ong and Bau Ba, with a water surface area of over 150 hectares.
The terrain here runs along the Northwest - Southeast direction, stretching over 5.6km. During lotus season, the lake surface is covered in pink, combined with the brilliant sunlight of the South Central region to create a spectacular natural picture.
New meeting point of tourism and cinema
Thanks to its unique beauty, director Ly Hai chose Bau Trang as one of the important filming locations in Lat Mat 8.
The scene of the main character standing in the middle of the vast white sand or the flycam shots capturing the lake and windy sand dunes have left a strong impression on viewers' minds, contributing to turning this place into a "new star" on the Vietnamese tourism map.
The film crew of Lat Mat 8 took souvenir photos at Bau Trang
After the film was released, the number of visitors to Bau Trang increased dramatically. According to preliminary statistics from the locality, many groups of tourists booked tours to experience the "Flip Side Road", checked in at filming locations and participated in games such as sand sliding, off-road vehicle riding, rowing on the lotus lake...
Not only is Bau Trang an attractive destination in terms of landscape, it also contains special historical and cultural depth.
Bau Trang is a place that attracts many interesting sports on the sand.
This used to be the residence of the Cham people with the temple of the goddess PoInư Nagar - later taken over by the Vietnamese and Vietnamized into Thien YA Na temple.
During the resistance war, this land was the revolutionary base of Le Hong Phong, where the army and people of Binh Thuan fought fiercely to protect precious water resources in the middle of the arid sand dunes.
The enduring appeal of a national landmark
With a total area of over 370 hectares and many natural, historical and cultural values, Bau Trang has been ranked as a national scenic spot by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism since 2019.
This is also a tourist destination that has been in the Top 100 impressive destinations in Vietnam and Southeast Asia many times.
