Hotel Pickup & Journey Start: Our friendly tour guide and driver will meet you in your hotel lobby at the designated time, ready to embark on a day filled with exploration and fun.
Visit Poshanu Cham Tower: Our first stop is the Poshanu Cham Tower in Phan Thiet, a significant cultural landmark of the ancient Champa Kingdom. This tower, with its rich architectural and historical value, offers a fascinating glimpse into the unique Cham culture. Located in the heart of Phan Thiet, it’s an unmissable site for anyone visiting the region.
Phan Thiet Fishing Harbor: As we make our way through Phan Thiet town, we’ll pause at the bustling Phan Thiet Fishing Harbor, where you’ll have the opportunity to observe the vibrant local fishing industry. Take in the view of colorful fishing boats, snap some photos, and experience the rhythm of everyday life by the sea.
Van Thuy Tu Palace: Next, we visit Van Thuy Tu Palace, a must-see attraction that sits near the fishing port. Here, you’ll find the largest whale skeleton in Southeast Asia, believed to be over 200 years old. The skeleton, known as Ong Nam Hai, is revered by locals and plays a central role in the annual Nghinh Ong Festival. This traditional celebration, held every June, honors the whale and prays for peace and bountiful harvests from the sea. If you’re lucky, you may get to witness the lively preparations for the festival.
Ta Cu Mountain - The Highlight of the Tour: No visit to Phan Thiet is complete without experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Ta Cu Mountain. Board the scenic cable car for a ride up the mountain, where you’ll be greeted by stunning panoramic views. Upon reaching the summit, a short walk up about 100 steps will lead you to the iconic Lying Buddha, a majestic statue that stands 49 meters tall. Along the way, you’ll pass other fascinating statues and enjoy the serene landscape. The mist-covered peaks, cascading waterfalls, and ancient temples create a magical atmosphere, making Ta Cu Mountain a truly unforgettable experience.
Visit to Dragon Fruit Farm: On our way back to your hotel, we’ll make a stop at a dragon fruit farm, where you’ll learn about this unique fruit and its cultivation process. Get an insight into the farming methods and see how the bright pink fruit grows in the fields, adding to the charm of this region.
