Phu yen-somewhere someone’s falling in love

Leaving overload with work in the heart of Saigon, I only a little girl who had never left parents  and the place where I was born, this is a first time I had a chance to beautify  for own life… In Vietnamese, “Taybalo” means “foreign visitors travel in Vietnam” and “Tabalo” means a Vietnamese girl as me who take a solo backpacking trip. As a debt must be paid, I haven’t own anyone, and no one is my lender, but I went  to Tuy Hoa city -Phu Yen province as a debt from profound depths of my heart. Traveling to learn, to know,to experience… and to find myself growing up. Living in this life, being done things that you want, you like…there’s nothing more….

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way, If you don’t, You’ll miss a chance!!!

The first day, I went around Tuy Hoa City, walked along the beach and visited some famous destination.

Nhan tower

This is Cham tower. It has another name – Nhan tower. The tower located in Nhan mountain where among Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen province. The first time coming to there, although I used to see the picture of tower in some magazine, but I was also really impressed by the size its. Because If only watch in picture, you can not image the real size of it. The ancient tower was built by Cham people, therefore still reflected the vestiges of the Cham people in the 11th century.

Banh Canh he

Rice spaghetti with garlic chives (Banh Canh He) – so delicious that can not to refuse. The garlic chives in the South seems to different from the Middle Vietnam, lighter colour , the leaves are smaller and the smell is also less acrid than. I ate much garlic chives like this but not to smelt too pungent. After enjoying some of fastfood in Tuy Hoa, I started to discovered new lands…

Strange scenery – Don’t know where this big stone from is which absolutely make me astonished!!

Da Bia Mountain

Da Bia mountain have another name “Thach Bi Son”, located in Dong Hoa District, Phu yen Province, borders on Khanh Hoa province.

It looks like a finger point at the sky, in addition this finger can be a magnetic needle for the ships on ocean.

One side is cliff, other side is ocean, the wind rend the air, pass through my hair, feeling wonderful nothing more than…all seems to attract the person who 20 years wasn’t still known what beach is like me.

And…after the long road about 40km, I also reached to Mon Beach…do you see Electric Cape in the distance?

Mon Beach – Electric Cape

The entrance to Mon Beach

hiking to high mountain , walking back to wide beach….

The sky cover on head and sunlight on shoulders…

The sun seems very closed to the ground…


“It was with winds that waves began.”

But where did they begin, the winds?

Neither do I remember now:

when did it all begin, our love?

(Wave, Xuan Quynh)

The waves fade away the steps therefore don’t foolishly print your heart in sand, it will be erased…

The Scene was looked from lighthouse

The overall picture of Mon Beach – from lighthouse in Electric Cape look down.

The next day, I found road to reached to the other destination in Tuy An District, Phu Yen – that is Da Dia Rapids.

How difficult trip is!! I quite sad because it’s the National Beauty Spot but there isn’t any roadsign on the way in which enter this place.

But…I still very happy because…..

Da Dia Rapids with many of stone columns are arranged specially like a beehive.

this is worthy compensation for me!!! lol
