The waves of sand spread immensely to the horizon, making people who come to Bau Trang (Phan Thiet) feel like they are lost in some desert.

Located in Hong Lam village, Hoa Thang commune, Bac Binh district, about 62 km northeast of Phan Thiet city, Bau Trang is a freshwater lake surrounded by a terrain mainly sand dunes.


The sand dunes in Mui Ne are named after the color of the sand, the largest being Bau Trang and pink sand dunes. The harmonious combination of wind and sand creates flat hills, or layers of sand waves. The sunlight shines down to create surprisingly beautiful natural wonders. The best time of the day to visit the sand dunes is at sunrise or sunset when the arrangement of sunlight combined with the bands of color painted by flat white sand stretches to the horizon will captivate any paparazzi in their hearts. 


The sand dunes in Mui Ne are crowded with visitors every day, not only on holidays or weekends. 


You can explore Bau Trang by walking, riding a jeep or enjoying the "yo-most" moments by sand skiing. This is the most popular game here.To sand slide, visitors can buy boards sold by locals, for 10,000 - 20,000 VND. Then, choose a position with a comfortable slope and stand, sit on the skateboard and drop yourself from above. The higher the slope, the more enjoyable the slide.


The loud howls, the feeling of fear to the point of blushing, the feeling of overcoming yourself are a great opportunity for you to relieve stress, dissolve all the fatigue of daily life, and finally will be unforgettable impressions for your vacation in Phan Thiet. 


A more expensive vehicle to explore the sand dunes is a jeep with a rental price of about 300,000 VND/20 minutes for a small car and about 800,000 VND/30 for a large car. Sitting in the car, circling on the sand dunes will give you a feeling of both adventure and excitement.

Although the air on Bau Putih is relatively sweltering, because the sun falls on the sand.

It is better to come here early in the morning or late afternoon, when the sun is not too harsh. At the same time, the sun is soft, the sky changes color, creating a beautiful scenery that captivates people.
