Near Ly Son Island, in Binh Hai commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai lies a lesser-known gem, still retaining its pristine beauty, Yen Cape.
Explore the breathtaking expanse of rocks at Yen Cape, a sight reminiscent of a picturesque artwork
At Yen Cape, rocks spread endlessly, wherever you go, rocks abound. At the foot lies a lush mangrove forest. The scenery is beautiful like a watercolor painting.
A Photographer's Paradise
According to the locals of Binh Hai, Yen Cape always resonates with the sound of winds. Perhaps it's this sound that attracts many swallows to nest here. In spring, they return, covering a corner of the sky.
A day at Yen Cape offers a spectrum of different natural emotions. In the morning, the sea breeze blows strongly, waves crashing against the rocks forming towering columns.
By noon, the waves gradually calm. As the sun begins to hide behind the mangroves, the waves recede, revealing rocky shores. This is also the time when fishermen set out to catch fish.
Yen Cape doesn't boast the beauty of long stretches of golden sand, but is powerful with its stacked black rocks. Here, there are many different scenes.
To the south of Yen Cape are tall rock formations about 30m high, stretching hundreds of meters. To the north, rocks spread like a giant carpet. Yet in the midst of Yen Cape, there's a blend of rocks and sand.
Although Yen Cape has long been a photography hotspot for professional photographers, it remains relatively unknown to tourists, despite being just about 20km from National Highway 1. It's this obscurity that preserves Yen Cape's pristine beauty.
Admire Ly Son and coral reefs
Yen Cape shares a similar characteristic with Ly Son, as it was formed by volcanic eruptions. Standing from Yen Cape, Ly Son Island is clearly visible. In the morning, the sunrise scenery at Yen Cape is stunning. The distant sun is partially blocked by Ly Son Island. Fisherman Dang Binh asserts: 'There's no other place on the mainland where you can see Ly Son as clearly as here'
At Yen Cape, there are also large coral reefs. No need to dive, just wear goggles and dip your head into the water to see interconnected coral reefs and small fish swimming around. On the shore, behind the mangroves, are terraced fields of lush green garlic crops.
Photographer Dang Quang Binh shares: 'For photography enthusiasts and wedding shoots, this place is a paradise. Just the garlic fields alone are enough to attract visitors'
Visitors to Yen Cape can also combine their trip with learning about the Thanh Thuy tunnels, visiting the Victory Wall Museum, which marks the glorious past of the region...
Dr. Nguyen Dang Vu, Director of the Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ngai Province, stated that the department is collaborating with Binh Son district to complete the documentation to add this sedimentary area to the overall Ly Son Global Geopark and adjacent areas.
