This Lunar New Year, take a trip to Hòn Yến Island – a hidden destination in Phú Yên that many people are unaware of.

Phú Yên has become a more popular destination for tourists, especially after the release of the movie 'I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass,' which left a lasting impression with its breathtaking visuals showcasing the area's natural beauty. The beaches of Phú Yên never disappoint with their soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and the warm, embracing sunshine. Among the many stunning beaches in Phú Yên, Hòn Yến Island stands out with its poetic, captivating beauty, though not many tourists are aware of it.

Hòn Yến Island is situated in Nhơn Hội village, An Hòa commune, Tuy An district, Phú Yên province, approximately 30km northeast of the center of Tuy Hòa city, Phú Yên.

To reach Hòn Yến, visitors need to book a flight to Tuy Hòa. After landing at Tuy Hòa airport, head to the city center and travel along National Highway 1A for about 15km. Turn right at the Phú Điềm junction, continue straight on the concrete road for approximately 5km until you reach the beach. After passing through Nhơn Hội fishing village, you will spot Hòn Yến. Despite being a bit far from the city center, the route is easy to follow. Additionally, there are directional signs along both sides of the road when you reach Nhơn Hội village. Simply follow these signs, and you will reach Hòn Yến without any trouble.

To determine whether the Lunar New Year is a good time to visit Hòn Yến, it's important to understand Phú Yên's climate. According to many travelers, Phú Yên experiences a tropical monsoon climate with hot, humid weather and two distinct seasons: the rainy season (from September to December) and the dry season (from January to August).

Thus, it can be said that the Lunar New Year of the Ox in 2021, which falls around mid-February, is the perfect time for tourism in Phú Yên in general, and Hòn Yến Island in particular. If you are still unsure about whether to book a flight to Tuy Hòa and visit Hòn Yến, you likely have your answer now.

In addition, visitors who have been to Hòn Yến Island note that the time of day you visit can significantly affect your experience. During the early or late days of the month, the tide at Hòn Yến recedes, revealing sharp, naturally arranged rock formations along with golden sand gleaming under the warm sunlight, creating an incredibly picturesque scene. This is a great time to consider scheduling your visit to Hòn Yến Island to witness the stunning and memorable seaside scenery.

- Hòn Yến Island boasts a stunning shallow coastline: When visiting Hòn Yến, travelers will witness a path that stretches between the sea, connecting the two islands, Yến Island and Sụn Island.

This shallow beach path is also called the 'shallow coastline of Hòn Yến' and offers an intriguing scene, making it a perfect photo spot for visitors.

The breathtaking view is sure to captivate even the most discerning travelers.
