Lying on the southcentral coast of Vietnam, Phu Yen is endowed by nature with a peacefuland romantic environment that has attracted many visitors.
Phu Yen reminds manyvisitors of Ghenh Da Dia, overlapped rocky plates in An Ninh Dong Commune ofTuy An District. It is truly a strange geological scene and said to besecond-to-none in Vietnam. Seen from afar, it is close to the coast and alwayssplashed by sea waves, the rocky columns look like a huge beehive, built withmany rocky plates of different shapes and sizes and interlocked in layers.
Meanwhile, O LoanLagoon, also in Tuy An district and a national-level beauty-spot, attractsvisitors due to its romantic feel. Seen from above, the lake looks like a bigbird ready to fly to the sky with its huge wings. There are lots of specialaquatic products living in the lake, of which the O Loan blood cockles areparticularly well known in the region.
Built near thepeaceful Ba River, the Mang Lang Temple with its nearly 120 year-old history,has preserved a national precious item, the Cathechismvs book, the firstnational language printed book of the Vietnamese made by Priest Alexandre deRhodesin 1651 in Rome.
Going southwards, theVung Ro Bay in Hoa Xuan Nam Commune of Dong Hoa district has deep blue water.The bay is surrounded by the Ca Pass, Da Bia Mountain and Hon Ba Mountain. Visitorscan take tours to see the beauty of the ocean or climb Da Bia Mountain alwayscovered in white mist.
Not too far from VungRo Bay is Dai Lanh Cape, the easternmost pole of the country’s mainland wherethe first rays of the dawn comes to the S-shaped country of Vietnam.
With its huge seapotential and natural beauty-spots that have been depicted in many poems, songsand movies, Phu Yen province has plenty of opportunities for furtherdevelopment./.
