Binh Dinh is a province in the South Central of Vietnam, which is currently planned and developed quite attractively to domestic and foreign tourists. This land is sunny almost all year round and owns beautiful blue beaches for the island tourism industry. One of the famous and recently developed places is Eo Gio landscape located on Phuong Mai peninsula. It is a beach with beautiful rocks, clear blue water and beautiful coral reefs. The name Eo Gio also says a lot about this place because it is windy because of the terrain and around it, it is also exploited the large wind power of this land. It is located on Phuong Mai peninsula connecting with Quy Nhon city through a strait about 6km wide, to cross this peninsula we will cross the longest sea-crossing bridge in Vietnam, Thi Nai bridge connecting these two lands.
We arrived at this sightseeing spot with as little of an unreasonable time as possible. Because the noon sun here is quite hot, nearly two-thirds of this peninsula is semi-desert sandy terrain, so we started traveling by motorbike from the city at 3pm to avoid the heat on the asphalt roads. no hot tree shade. It is about 20km from the city center and when we arrived it was already more than 4pm. I recommend that if you come to visit it here, go in the morning or noon when the sun is highest to admire the clear blue sea color as possible and the most eye-catching brown colored rocks, this place is most beautiful in the morning. In the morning, in the afternoon, the sun behind the mountains will be less attractive. The road to get there is also very nice for bikers when the population density is low, the highway passes through windmill fields.
To visit, it will cost us 60,000 VND (2.5 USD) which is quite expensive to enter this tourist area. Outside and around there are many restaurants with delicious fresh seafood and coconut leaf crafts. Because it was almost late afternoon, the sunlight was still enough to cover the barren rocky mountains with low shrubs here.
To the naked eye it looks much better with wide and clear viewing angles. It has a path along the cliffs for walking leading down to the beach, but there is no sand here, only rocky shores and cliffs carved by the wind to create unique shapes.
The weather in this area is quite harsh, so the mountains are very poor in vegetation. The dry and hot climate is suitable for only a few species of low shrubs and cacti. You can use large binoculars placed on high-altitude observatories to get a better view of distant points or the coast. In addition to the rocky mountains and islands near the shore, we can also see the low cliffs under the sea because the water here is quite shallow and there are many corals. If I go at noon, the sunlight will clearly illuminate the seabed, which is wonderful. Two years ago I used to come here and swim there, the water here is wonderful turquoise and the aquatic ecosystem is diverse.
Since the sunlight behind the mountain darkens the space in front of me and I went with my friend, I also didn't take many pictures, but instead talked with my friends and walked in the cool windy atmosphere here. The smell of the sea really makes me feel alive and peaceful in my body. We spent time walking barefoot once we got down to the shore and walked on the rocks and pebbles there. A good foot massage thanks to nature's creations.
Although we missed the best images of Eo Gio at noon, it was really enough and satisfying for us to enjoy with the naked eye. The spacious and unspoiled space brings contentment for a trip to this wind and sand city. Hope to visit this place again next time.
Thanks.
