I. Destinations
1. Tam Thanh Mural Village
Tam Thanh Mural Village is a fishing village by the sea. Formerly, this village was like any other poor fishing village along the Central Coast, but when dozens of colorful murals were painted on the walls of the houses, the place seemed to be given a new lease of life, vibrant, bright, and attracting tourists to Tam Ky tourism.
By 2017, Tam Thanh Mural Village had been activated as Tam Thanh Community Art Village, setting Vietnam's record for the first and largest collection of mural paintings on coracle boats with 111 painted boats. Residents not only dwell in a cultural and artistic space but also have the opportunity to improve their lives through the development of tourism services.
The murals at Tam Thanh are simple yet captivating, depicting scenes of everyday life. These include children playing with kites and balls, adults rowing boats out to sea, a woman waiting for her husband to return, a loyal dog lying by an empty house, scenes of sewing and embroidery, roadside fruit stalls, and a mother's loving embrace of her child in a rural family setting.
Located on Phan Boi Chau Street, the Van Thanh - Confucius Temple complex occupies a 6,200 m2 area including the main hall, rear hall, bell tower, drum tower, traditional folk houses, a moon bridge, and a triple gate. The complex honors Confucius and scholars who contributed to the community and country.
The Chien Dan Tower is a group of three ancient towers from the Champa Kingdom, with only the central tower retaining its Champa architectural style. The towers share similar proportions, with tall bodies and balanced upper levels. The tower lacks decorative motifs.
Ky Anh Tunnels serve as a reminder of a glorious historical era in Tam Ky tourism. Excavation began in May 1965 and was completed in 1967, spanning a total length of 32 km. The tunnel system resembles a chessboard, with winding passages.
