(TITC) - The vast sand dunes stretching endlessly
is the ideal condition to develop sand-boarding. Sand-boarding is quite similar
with snowboarding and increasingly attracting tourists worldwide. Recently, the
website Wonderslist (US) has announced the top 11 most ideal sand-boarding
destinations in the world, of which Mui Ne Sand Dune of Viet Nam is ranked 2nd.
Belonging to Mui Ne Ward, Phan Thiet City, Binh Thuan Province,
22km to the north-east of the city centre, Mui Ne has charming beach with blue
water and unique beautiful sand dune in Viet Nam.
Mui Ne Sand Dune was an old iron mine formed hundreds of years
ago, spreading over an area of 50ha. The sand in Mui Ne has many colors such
as yellow, white, gray, ivory, pink, red, black... Mui Ne Sand Dune is also
known as the Flying Sand Dune because the sand dune’s shape changes every hour.
This is the result of winding and eroding the thin upper sand layer. Mui Ne
Sand Dune is the infinite source for many artists and professional
photographers to capture stunning images of sand.
In order to develop Mui Ne tourism, Binh Thuan Province licensed
to construct golf courses and resorts at the same time plan trees in the sand
dune to create beautiful landscapes and contribute to reducing mobility of
sand. In addition, Mui Ne also develops various types of sports tourism such as
sand-boarding, motor racing, terrain car racing on sand...
