Getting There - Nhan Tower is located at 72 Le Trung Kien, Ward 1, Tuy Hoa city, Phu Yen province. The special feature of Nhan tower is first of all its geographical position. Nhan Tower is located only 6 minutes from Tuy Hoa city center for a route of less than 6km. This is a distance that must be said to be very close and convenient to travel compared to other provinces in the Central region. Take Binh Dinh province as an example. To move from the city center to Banh It tower, you need to travel a long distance of 20km to be able to admire this ancient Champa architecture. Attractions - Nhan Tower is a famous tower in Phu Yen associated with many unsolved mysteries. The tower is located near the top of Nhan mountain on the north bank of Da Rang river. There are many legends about the origin of this tower. Some people believe that, in the past, there was a fairy Thien YA Na who came to earth to teach people living in this land everything from plowing, weaving, spinning ... to find a way to make a living. After the fairy returned to the fairy land, the people of Champa, out of compassion and want to inscribe the gratitude of the person who enlightened their nation, built that tower to worship. Nhan Tower is built entirely of baked bricks, which are tightly packed but very solid. According to research, this type of brick is about 1.3 times lighter than a regular brick. Even the compressive strength, impact resistance is much better than ordinary bricks. Learn about the glue used to attach these bricks together firmly and without revealing any lake, it is known that the Cham people also use completely natural materials. In the past, there was no cement, the people of Champa knew how to use the adhesive from the oleander tree in construction. However, how to mix materials to get a strong glue that can "support" such a large tower, researchers still have to give up. It is known that, for the bricks to stick together so firmly, not only because of the above-mentioned glue mixture, but also thanks to the skillful hands of the builders. The bricks are used concave grinding technique, meaning that after applying glue, they grind the bricks together until the contact surface is completely tight without showing any gaps.

Phu Yen was one of those places that completely surprised me. It’s not as touristy as other coastal destinations in Vietnam, but that’s exactly what makes it so special—raw natural beauty, peaceful beaches, and a slower pace of life. 🌊 Breathtaking Coastal Views The coastline in Phu Yen is absolutely stunning. The most iconic spot? Ganh Da Dia—a natural wonder with thousands of hexagonal basalt rock formations stacked like a honeycomb, created by volcanic activity. Walking along these unique rock formations while watching the waves crash was an unreal experience. Nearby, Bai Xep Beach stole my heart. With golden sand, clear blue water, and giant cactus plants lining the cliffs, it felt like stepping into a postcard. There were barely any crowds, just the sound of waves and the occasional fishing boat passing by. 🚗 Exploring Phu Yen’s Hidden Spots Since public transport is limited, renting a motorbike was the best way to explore. The coastal roads were peaceful and scenic, leading to places like: ✅ Mui Dien Lighthouse – The easternmost point of Vietnam, where you can catch the first sunrise in the country🌅 ✅ Mon Beach – A wild and untouched stretch of sand, perfect for a quiet escape 🏖️ ✅ O Loan Lagoon – A great spot to enjoy fresh seafood while watching the sunset 🍽️ 🍜 Phu Yen’s Simple But Delicious Food The local food in Phu Yen is humble but packed with flavors. Some must-try dishes include: 🥣 Banh Canh He – A thick noodle soup with fish cake, served with lots of green onions 🐚 Grilled blood cockles – Fresh and juicy, dipped in chili salt 🐟 Tuna eyes stew – A Phu Yen specialty, surprisingly rich and flavorful ✨ A Place to Slow Down Phu Yen isn’t a place for crazy nightlife or shopping. Instead, it’s about slow travel—riding along coastal roads, relaxing on untouched beaches, and enjoying simple, fresh seafood. It’s perfect for those looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten-path Vietnam experience. If you want to escape the crowds and explore a hidden side of Vietnam, Phu Yen is a destination worth discovering. #PhuYen #VietnamTravel #HiddenGem #CoastalEscape #RoadTrip #travel#beachlife#seascapes

Advantage: - Cheap, cheap and cheap (Food, hotels and all are cheap) - Beautiful seapppp, very very beautifulpppp, probably the place with the most beautiful sea I've ever been to (Vung Tau, Binh Hung, Nam Du, Nha Trang and even Phu Quoc) - Everything is wild and a little bit exploited for tourism, but not much Defect: - Sunny, sunny and very, very sunny. The sun here is very hotttttt - If you don't go swimming like me, each destination actually only has a few angles for taking photos A whole day in Phu Yen only costs 300k vnd/person

Getting There - To come and admire the beauty of Bai Xep, go straight on Le Duan street to Tuy An. This beach road is paved with flat asphalt with blue poplars along the two sides of the road, which is extremely beautiful, yet to arrive, it gives you a very cool and relaxed feeling. Attractions - Only when it became the scene for the hit movie "I see yellow flowers on the green grass", Bai Xep was really known to many tourists, so this place has not been exploited for tourism much. The landscape still retains its original wildness. With the characteristics of a beautiful coastline, Bai Xep owns a brilliant golden sand beach embracing the clear jade green water. Step by step gently into the sea, you will feel the clear, cool water as if you were in an ice lake, dispelling the heat and so much stress and fatigue.

Vuc Song Waterfal is located in Phu Yen Province in Vietnam. The closest big city is Tuy Hoa, so you can easily drive from there. You can follow the map at first, but as you get closer, you will need the help of locals. Also you can hear the waterfal from the distance. On the way there you can enjoy beautiful natural views of mountains and lakes. It has a natural pool with clear water where you can safely swim. Be ready to climb down the rocks to get there, there is a path. There are no tourists there as the place is quite remote and not well known. I advice you to go there for a whole day and have a picnic, but don't forget to not leave any rubbish there. #vietnam #tuyhoa #waterfal
