Fairy stream
It is located near the resort area, it is easy to find by signs located on the main road of the village. The path leads to a small staircase that descends to the stream. On the shore there are several cafes with food and drinks, where you can look on the way back. The route runs right along the stream, among white and red rocks. They resemble the shelter of mythical creatures – therefore, the stream received such a beautiful name.
The stream of water winds between the rocks and the jungle. The depth of the stream is only a few centimeters, so we recommend that you go barefoot on soft sand. For a walk, old clothes or bathing suits are suitable, which are not a pity to stain clay spray. The stream is surrounded by bamboo and palm forests, but it is still worth taking care of hats and other protection from the sun.
A walk from one end of the stream to the other takes 10-15 minutes. The cost of visiting 10,000 Vietnamese dongs (30 rubles). It is best to come here on weekdays.

Early in the morning you can observe how the fishermen return with the night catch, and at sunset – how the sun affects the surface of the sea, contrasting with countless boats. This is a great place to look behind the life of local residents and enjoy fresh seafood.

Take a walk along the bottom of the canyon, admire the Martian landscapes and be sure to take pictures for memory – green vegetation against the background of red sand looks very impressive. The canyon was formed in clay-sand soils as a result of leaching of soil with frequent rains. Unfortunately, over time, it can cease to exist for the same reason, so it is so important to have time to visit it. The entrance is free.
Red and white dunes
Red sand dunes They are located next to the main coastal road coming from Muin. It is best to come here at sunset to observe how the sun is hiding behind amber hills. Local children offer to rent plastic sledges for 20,000 dongs (60 rubles) in order to frolic on sand hills and ride dunes from top to bottom. And merchants nearby sell ice cream, traditional f (soup with noodles) and refreshing drinks.

The cost is from 200,000 to 600,000 dongs (600 – 1,500 rubles), the price depends on the time of skiing and whether you need a driver or you will manage yourself.
Lake Lotosov
Not far from the white dunes is Lake Lotosov – a place as if from mythical traditions and dreams. Most of it is covered with delicate pink water lilies and lotus buds, which fill the air with a sweet aroma of cinnamon. The pyramids of white sand on the horizon emphasize the uniqueness of this oasis. Tourists can rent a fishing boat to ride a lake, as well as swim among lotuses.
