Day 1:
– At 7:30 am, we arrive at Tuy Hoa station, pick up our motorbike, head to the hotel for check-in, and drop off our belongings.
– Our first destination is 'Dragon Bone Beach' – 'Xep Beach/Ong Cape' – where the movie 'Yellow Flowers on Green Grass' was filmed. Located about 15km from the city center, this picturesque spot is part of the Sao Viet Tourist Area with an entrance fee of 20k/person. The main attractions here are 'Dragon Bone Beach' - 'Ong Cape' and the 'Xep Beach'.

In the morning, we capture the beauty of 'Ganh Da Dia' with an entrance fee of 20k/adult. After a relaxing lunch at Thu Thao restaurant nearby, boasting a stunning sea view, we spend the afternoon taking photos at Ganh Den – a place with small and large brownish-pink rocky shores stretching along the coastline, accompanied by dragon bone formations and lush green meadows.
– Early in the morning on the last day, we rise to visit Dai Lanh Lighthouse – the place to witness the first sunrise in Vietnam, approximately 30km from Tuy Hoa. Along the way, we enjoy the sunrise over the sea, making this the most beautiful coastal route in Vietnam.
