As the year is almost over and New Year is coming, BenThanh Tourist introduces a four day/three night tour allowing excursionists not only a chance to enjoy stunning beaches in Mui Ne but also the poetic coldness and romantic greenness of the Central Highlands Dalat City.

Departing for the central coast tourist city of Phan Thiet, tourists will be taken to Ta Cu Mountain to take a cable car trip to visit Linh Son Truong Tho Pagoda which is famous for the country’s reclining 49m-long Buddha statue. Later on, tourists can visit Ong Hoang Mansion, where there remain vestiges of the late famous poet Han Mac Tu, and then contemplate the primitive beauty of Ong Dia Rocks.

Apart from relaxing on beaches and sand dunes, tourists can also enjoy other attractions such as Tien (Fairy) Spring and Posanu Cham Tower. In the first lunar month, locals celebrate the annual Rija Nuga and Poh Mbang Yang festivals at the foot of the tower to pray for rainfall and good things. If coming on those days, tourists will have a chance to learn more about Cham culture and customs. After that, travelers can take some sun-bathing on Hon Rom Beach and enjoy teambuilding games such as tug of war, jogging and clam digging. Moreover, the travel operator will also host a 3.6km walk competition on the sand dunes to improve the tourists’ strength.

After playing with sea waves of Mui Ne, tourists will leave for Dalat City, the city in mist and pine trees and famous for waterfalls, lakes, winding roads, ancient architecture and home to many kinds of flowers and its annual Flower Festival.
