Minh Long White Waterfall
Located in Thanh An Commune, Minh Long District, about 23 km southwest of Quảng Ngãi city, Minh Long White Waterfall is renowned for its majestic, untouched beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills, the waterfall stands about 40 meters high, resembling a giant silk sheet cascading through the vast mountains. The water falls down and flows along a 20-meter wide stream, winding around rocks and curves in the valley before merging with other streams. In the pond at the base of the waterfall, there are many 'niêng' fish, a local delicacy prepared in a variety of delicious ways.
