With convenient transportation, in recent years, Vinh Hy has become a favorite destination for backpackers from Ho Chi Minh City and many other provinces in the Central and Southern regions on weekends. With only 2 days off, tourists can experience many interesting activities in Vinh Hy.

Recently, Tai Pham (commonly known as "Tai here") had a two-day trip to explore Vinh Hy. He shared many impressive photos and some must-see places here.

About transportation: To be proactive with time, Mr. Tai went by private car. Travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to Vinh Hy Bay is about 5 hours and 30 minutes.

Tourists can get to Phan Rang city by bus or train. If you choose to fly, you will fly to Cam Ranh (Khanh Hoa), the nearest place, 62 km from Phan Rang. From Ho Chi Minh City, there are many overnight buses to Phan Rang city, ticket price is 180,000 - 300,000 VND/person. You can choose to depart at night, arriving at the hotel early in the morning.

Regarding the schedule, Mr. Tai traveled from Ho Chi Minh City on Friday night. Early in the morning, he arrived in Vinh Hy, rested there and had breakfast with a 30,000 VND fish noodle dish. After that, the male tourist booked a canoe service to move to Hon Rua to swim in the sea. "This is the most impressive beach spot for me in Vinh Hy," the blogger said.

At noon, Mr. Tai returned to the homestay for lunch, enjoyed local cuisine and rested. At 3:00 p.m., he spent time exploring the coastal road of Binh Tien, admiring the panoramic view of Binh Hung. At 5:00 p.m., the male tourist returned to the center of Vinh Hy for dinner with a BBQ party.

On the second day, Mr. Tai booked a canoe tour to explore Yen Cave and Tau Cave. At noon, Mr. Tai returned to the homestay to eat, rest, and then returned to Ho Chi Minh City. On the way, he stopped by Dam Nai wind farm.

Mr. Tai also suggests to tourists an interesting experience of camping at Bai Thung and Bai Chuoi.

Turtle Island

Hon Rua, also known as Hon Tai, is located in Vinh Hai Commune, Ninh Hai District, Ninh Thuan Province. This is a small beach in Vinh Hy Bay, ranked as a National Monument and Scenic Spot by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in April 2022, according to the electronic information portal of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Ninh Thuan.

This place is located about 15 minutes by canoe from Vinh Hy center, possessing wild beauty with white sand, rugged cliffs, and emerald sea water. There are no people living here, no electricity, no phone signal or wifi.

Mr. Tai was impressed with the natural swimming pool here, very suitable for relaxing soaking.

The cost of renting a canoe to Hon Rua is 200,000 VND per trip (ticket price is divided according to the number of people). There are scuba diving activities here, however, visitors need to pay attention to hiring a guide and safety equipment. October-December is the rough sea season, while February-May is the best time to visit Hon Rua.

On this trip, under the guidance of a local friend, Mr. Tai learned that from Hon Rua direction, tourists can rent a canoe to go to Binh Hung. On the way, you will encounter Yen Cave and Tau Cave.

Binh Tien coastal road

The Vinh Hy - Binh Tien coastal road is one of the most beautiful coastal roads in Vietnam with the sea on one side and the majestic Nui Chua range on the other.

According to Mr. Tai, walking along Binh Tien Street is something tourists must try. "The winding roads have panoramic views of the small town of Vinh Hy. If you go further, you can see Binh Hung, Bai Chuoi, and Bai Thung," said the male tourist.

Dam Nai Wind Power

The wind farm in Phan Rang attracts many young people to visit and take pictures thanks to its picturesque scenery. This area is about a 20-minute drive from the city center. Each time, this place has its own beauty, sometimes green, sometimes golden with ripe rice, sometimes deserted. The ideal time to visit this place is early morning or late afternoon.

Camping at Thung Beach and Banana Beach

Mr. Tai suggests that tourists experience camping right on the beaches inshore to watch the starry sky, waiting for the sun to rise, rising "from the sea" at dawn. According to the male tourist's experience, Bai Chuoi is more beautiful, cleaner and has less rocks but the road is more difficult than Bai Thung.
