Captivating Tourist Destinations in Binh Dinh
Hoi Van Hot Springs
Located in Hoi Van hamlet, Cat Hiep commune, Phu Cat district, 48 km northwest of Quy Nhon city, Hoi Van hot springs are an excellent destination for relaxation. A unique feature of this stream is that one side has normal temperature water, while the other side has water with temperatures reaching 70-80 degrees Celsius. You can create a small sand pit, put quail eggs in, and cover it up. About 10 minutes later, the eggs will be cooked. This is a little trick to make a fun meal here.
Genh Rang Tourist Area
Starting from the rocky slope, also known as Dream Guitar slope, adventurers trek along the winding stone path to explore the romantic beauty of nature here. Mentioning Genh Rang, one immediately recalls the poet Han Mac Tu, remembering the talented but ill-fated poet (who passed away at a very young age – 28 years old).
Ascending halfway up the slope, travelers pay homage to the tomb of Han Mac Tu and contemplate the poems written on large stone slabs. Reaching the peak of the slope, the panoramic view of Quy Nhon city will be condensed within sight. You will feel the grandeur of the mountain forest, gazing out to sea to embrace the sea breeze, feeling immensely tranquil.
At the foot of the slope lies Hoang Hau beach with many round stones resembling eggs. It's called Hoang Hau beach because in the past, this emerald blue sea was reserved solely for Queen Nam Phuong's bathing.
Hammock Cave – more than just a scenic spot
“Hammock Cave with gigantic rocks,
There's Seven Arches Cave, there's boiling wine pits”
If you have the opportunity to come here, don't hesitate to take a boat to explore. A mythological world unfolds before the eyes of travelers with its magnificent beauty bestowed by nature, with towering stone walls, patches of lush green moss, vines, and tree roots hanging over the cliffs like a curtain veiling the modesty of a young maiden.
Venturing deeper in, travelers will witness the true beauty of Hammock Cave: the granite pillars hidden beneath the river's surface. Chaotic yet harmonious, wild yet orderly, inert yet lively, these stone pillars take shapes of crocodiles, flying horses, or carps... On bright sunny days, these myriad-shaped granite pillars will gleam with radiant colors, resembling jewels under the ocean. Sailing along while sipping stone bowl wine, enjoying the splendid scenery, what could be more wonderful?
Con Chim Ecotourism Area
Crossing Thi Nai Bridge (the longest sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam) to immerse oneself in the boundless green of the mangrove forest, watching flocks of white storks gracefully flying across the vast sky is an extraordinary journey. Rows of tall casuarina trees, hundreds of years old, will evoke feelings of both reverence and allure in travelers.
Additionally, Phuong Mai Sand Dunes, Ba Mountain, Nui Mot Lake, Trung Luong Beach, Vinh Hoi, Tan Thanh are also fascinating destinations in Binh Dinh. Lush rows of trees providing cool shade, clear water stretching along paradise-like sandy beaches, year-round bathed in sun and wind.
After a day of admiring nature's scenery, travelers can visit artistic landmarks representing culture and tradition such as Cham Towers, Quang Trung Museum. Visitors will gain a deeper understanding of history, of the hero Quang Trung – Nguyen Hue, whose reputation flourished under the Tay Son Dynasty, and the origin of the Dong Da Festival on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
What to Eat?
When visiting this coastal land of the Central region, travelers will indulge in rustic specialties brimming with affection. District market spring rolls, with the main ingredients being meat and pepper wrapped in guava leaves, the pinkish shiny flesh, eaten with fragrant herbs, can be rolled with rice paper, dipped in soy sauce or fish sauce according to each person's taste. The sour-sweet taste of the meat and the spiciness of the pepper tantalize the taste buds like nothing else.
Quy Nhon fish noodle soup is truly special because it's not seasoned with MSG, but cooked with 100% rich sweetness extracted from fish. Enjoying a dish of pork intestine vermicelli at a roadside eatery is also an interesting experience here. Additionally, travelers can savor seafood along the Quy Nhơn coast, nowhere fresher, cheaper, and more delicious.
Unique Cultural Highlights
Once here, quickly get acquainted with the locals, and you'll experience warm community life. In the evenings, families often gather at the porch. Women weave hats, while men drink wine, reciting lively folk songs. If the Western region is the land of don ca tai tu music, Binh Dinh is the cradle of classical opera and choral singing.
