Widely recognized as a “home from home”, Quang Ngai also puts itself on the map with a wide variety of local beauty spots – precious gifts of nature according to its people’s conception. Ranging from historical monuments to natural landscapes, there is merely no restriction to places where you can pay a visit to this beautiful coastal province.
Sa Huynh Nestled in South Pole of Quang Ngai province, Sa Huynh attracts a considerable number of seasonal tourists every year for its gorgeous seashore. Known as the largest salt flat in the middle part of the country, the destination has raised a special feeling of curiosity among travelers who first come here. There are also a lot of things to discover in Sa Huynh, such as An Khe lagoon, Viba mountain, Tu Phuoc pagoda, Fish temple and the like. Besides, fresh exclusive seafood adds to the reasons why you should go to Sa Huynh once in a lifetime. And if you prefer to spend your nights here, don’t be nervous since a great number of qualified resorts and motels are there to cater for the accommodation demand of guests.Photo credit: sahuynh.netPhoto credit: image.vietnamnews.vn

Ly Son Ly Son Island is no longer a strange destination for those who are interested in traveling. If Hawaii is addressed as the pearl of the Pacific Ocean, Ly Son is favorably called a fairy island for its miraculous beauty. Located around 30 kilometers off shore, with an area of 10 kilometers square and population of up 20,000 inhabitants, the so-called paradise leaves unforgettable memories in visitors’ soul afterwards. Among all landscapes detected there, To Vo gate is presumably a preferable check-in place of many people, especially teenagers. With an open space in the bare nature, you can while away the time with your family and friends by enjoying the glorious moments of dawn and sunset all together. Moreover, if you are lucky enough to drop by in the spring, chances are that you can join the crowds in Tu Linh Sailing festival, annually held in Lunar New Year. This celebration doesn’t simply serve entertaining purposes, but it is also a tradition that is maintained throughout centuries by its people. It is also a good opportunity for you to learn more about the region’s custom so that don’t let the chance go by if you have it.Photo credit: dulichvietnam.com.vn

Chung Tich Son My (Son My Relics) It is exactly an ideal destination for those who have a passion for historical events and buildings. It is rumored that on 16th March 1968, a small village bore a brunt of a terrifying war disaster in which innocent ordinary people, including the old, women, children and so on were all killed. The death toll, after that, was claimed to reach up to 504- a dramatic figure in comparison to the population scale at that time. Until the present days when Vietnam has been liberated from wars, this village is still under special maintenance and brought on display so that the locals can always commemorate those who passed away in that disastrous event and tourists can visit here for more information about Vietnamese history. Photos that depict the occurrence and carefully listed statistics will help people gain a deeper understanding and a special guide is always available on request for further support.Photo credit: cinet.vn

Nui Thien An (Thien An Mountain) Classified as one national historical monument by Ministry of Culture and Information, Thien An Mountain has become a crowded tourist attraction for the past 20 years. To reach the summit, you can either resort to car or motorbike since the slope is not too steep. Besides, there is a shortcut leading to the peak that is designed only for hikers. From the top of the mountain, a breathtaking view of the whole province with rivers, fields, and villages will appear in front of your eyes, which makes you feel like grasping the nature in the back of your hand. What’s more? You can also pay a visit to Thien An pagoda in the proximity if you still spare some time. It is especially busy during Buddhist festivals (Buddha Day, 4/15 in Lunar calendar) when the locals and visitors will gather for worship. Thus, take your time and you can explore new things here. By the way, I want to introduce you some family-run restaurants at the foot of the mountain. If the trip has sucked out your energy, help yourselves with some meals provided there to relieve your hunger before continuing the half-way journey.Photo credit: hotel84.com

Thac Trang Minh Long (Minh Long White Waterfall) Are you in search of a place off the beaten track to spend your days in Quang Ngai? Thac Trang is a wonderful proposal to take into consideration. Located about 23 kilometers from the provincial city to the Southwest of Minh Long district, it is considered the most picturesque waterfall detected in mountainous areas of Quang Ngai. At the foot of the cascade appears a deep natural reservoir that extends hundreds of meters- an ideal spot for some selfie photos with your fellows. It is recommended that you go in summer because the breezes and flows here will help cool your nerves in such a burning atmosphere. Recently, Thac Trang has been exploited as an ecological tourist spot that ensures the provision of a wide selection of services to fulfill visitors’ demand, ranging from accommodation, meals and recreational activities for all ages. Let’s write down the name of the destination on your to-do list to enjoy satisfying moments here.Photo credit: cdn3.ivivu.com

Bai Dua (Coconut Plain) The final place I want to show you today is Bai Dua - an ideal place for those who are already fed up with the busy pace of life and try to find a serene space to relax yourselves. In addition to witnessing long lines of willows and palms that run along the bank, you will have a chance to set foot on floating bamboo rafts. You can appreciate not only the simple beauty of nature but the locals’ daily activities as well. Above all, the experience of savoring fresh seafood right on the float in the open air will give you chills, which you may hardly find one in another region. Why not give it a try and treat yourselves with such a trip after hardworking days. You deserve it, don’t you?Photo credit: hoangngoc-resort.com

There are so many places to visit in this big world of ours. My bucket list was already a mile long, but I guess I need to add this destination to my list too!
I’ve never been to a salt flat and don’t really know what it is… but I love learning about new cultures so this is fascinating. I would love to visit here one day.
I would love to have all of these places on my must-visit list. Especially Minh Long White Waterfall, it looks so fresh and beautiful. I love this post!
My hometown is Binh Dinh, which is located almost beside Quang Ngai. Sadly, I’ve never been to Quang Ngai before to adore its beauty with my naked eyes. Seems like every wonder of Quang Ngai is related to water, and I love that.
I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one today..
These look like awesome vacation spots. I like the last one the best.
