Remember that the greatest times to photograph the best moments of Phu Yen are at dawn and twilight, when the sun turns the lagoon crimson. It’s also the time of year when fishermen begin their daily tasks and return home with a full load of marine items.

Visitors should walk to Quan Cau pass to fully appreciate the magnificence of O Loan lagoon. From this vantage point, the lagoon resembles a massive phoenix spreading its wings to the sea. When combined with the natural surroundings, the result is breathtaking.

The close, overlapping mountains, the wind-swirled sandhill, Hon Chong in the middle of the lagoon, and so on are all works of art that the creator has bestowed on this location.

If you enjoy learning about traditional festivals and folk activities, plan a trip to O Loan lagoon around January of each year’s lunar calendar. People living near the lagoon will host a variety of fun activities during this period, including a traditional boat racing festival, a fishing festival, and cheering.

These black rocks have a cylindrical shape after years of having been honed by the seawater and become smooth. From afar, the cliff resembles a massive beehive near the beach. There is no human involvement in this natural wonder. When visiting Da Dia Reef, make sure to catch the sunrise over the sea to view the strange black stones’ iridescent golden tint.

Da Dia Reef in Phu Yen, along with Giant’s Causeway on the northeast coast of Ireland, Órganos on the island of La Gomera, Fingal Cave on Staffa Island, Scotland, and Jusangjeolli reef in Korea, are one of only five reefs in the world with lava eruptions creating this beautiful shape. That proves that nature has favored Phu Yen, Vietnam in creating such a marvelous treasure.

Phu Yen has become a very attractive destination for tourists to camp overnight. Not only tourists could wake up to the sunrise, they could also enjoy the local fresh cuisine special hand-picked by the fishermen while witnessing these magnificent scenes.
