Red Sand Dune (Doi Hong) in Mui Ne

The long process of desertification in Binh Thuan has created large and romantic sand dunes like desert in the Middle East. Typical of which is Hong Hill Mui Ne. Hill also has different names such as Bay Sand Dunes, Golden Sand Dunes, Red Sand Dunes ... this place gives visitors unforgettable experiences because of the very unique characteristics that no other place has.

The disappearance of old forests has negative effects affecting the lives of the people but it cannot be denied the interesting things that this place brings. The sea breeze erodes and blows away the upper sand layer, which does not have a specific shape, so this Sand Dune is also known as Bay Sand Dunes. Besides, the color of the sand also changes due to the creation of an array of interwoven colors such as Golden Sand Dunes, Red Sand Dunes ... creating a wonderful vivid picture.

Red Sand Dune is on the way to Hon Rom Island, the sand here is red, not white or yellow as people think when talking about sand color. This sand dune is quite wide although it’s not too high. If you have the opportunity to come to Mui Ne, arrange a time to experience the feeling of climbing up the dune and looking towards the sea, enjoying the feeling of the sea breeze sliding into your hair and watching the wonderful scenery around, you will see how much your hard work and effort comes in reward.Placing your foot on the sand, it feels so comfortable as if your feet are caressed and cuddled by the smooth grains of sand, that feeling should be an unforgettable memory.

Red Sand Dune in Mui Ne is also the pioneer of sand-skating games. You will have a companion which is a thin rectangular piece of mica, about 60 x 80 cm and threaded a string. You have to sit very tight and hold the rope tightly, need a light push from above and you will slip down the sand dune.It is simple to say, but few who succeed at the first attempt. Because if you do not sit neatly and skillfully, you will be easy to fall into the sand, painless, but the sand will cover you, from your hair, clothes. Try a few more times, you will definitely do better and find it very interesting.

If you choose Binh Thuan as a place to travel but don’t have a chance to try the sand skating game in Mui Ne, it is really a regret. From Kega Lighthouse Resort, it takes about 1 hour of driving, you will reach Mui Ne sand dunes. Ideally, you should go early in the morning, when the sun is not yet rises and the sand is not too hot.
