A Glimpse at Mui Ne

 
Mui Ne is usually added to the travel lovers’ bucket list, for not only its stunning beaches and delicious seafood, but also its interesting history. It is worth pointing out that the seaside town is home to some ancient sites dating back to 1,200 years ago.
 
Also known as the “sheltered bay” in English, Mui Ne also attracts tourists with a mysterious legend that talks about the historical marriage between Princess Huyền Trân – later Queen Paramecvariin of Champa – and Cham King Jaya Sinhavarman III in the 14th century. You can find out the details about this marriage through a local tour guide.
 
When it comes to Mui Ne, it seems a big pity to overlook 2 big sand dunes, namely White Sand Dunes and Red Sand Dunes. They completely give visitors different experiences. While you have a chance to ride an ATV race along the pristine sand slopes on the thrilling white dunes, the red dunes become the ideal places to enjoy the sunset with your loved ones.

However, the best experience that satisfies most of the hikers is hiking the Fairy Stream. As the walking stream, it is a shallow river that can water up to your ankles. Don’t miss climbing to the sandy top, enjoying the panoramic view, and having a picnic with your friends/families.

The best time to visit Mui Ne

 
Mui Ne has the calm and micro-climate. So, it is noted as one of the driest spots in South East Asia. It is still dry, even during the rainy season, in comparison with other nearby cities. For us, the perfect time to travel here is months from August to April as this is when the town has the best weather and temperatures.
 
Fond of kitesurfing? Then, we advise you to plan a trip between September and February. Due to strong winds, you can try some nice and awe-inspiring waves which are ideal for kitesurfing or other water sports. Avoid booking a tour during the time from April to August unless you want to possess the brown skin because this is the hottest period in a year.
