Southern Vietnam - Day 3

We bought a half day tour for today.
Our first place is at the White Sand Dunes where we watch the sun rise. The Dunes look like something from the Sahara. (see from the picture)





A lot of foreigners try to slide down the steep sand on sledges.


But our gang only find the spot where it is not too steep and just walk down the slope.





Next is at the Yellow Sand Dunes – smaller than the first dunes.




Again at the fishing village.





Last of the today tour is at Fairy Springs. The stream is located in Ham Tien (Mui Ne Beach) and winds through breathtaking red and white sand cliffs from deep in the dunes, out to the beach.

The fishing sauce (factory??) on the way to the Fairly stream.


The Farily stream and the red canyon.



Back to the hotel to take a bath and have lunch. We then take a bus to Dalat.



Having dinner at Long Hoa restaurant recommended by our hotel staff. Eventhough, we are full, but this bakeray shop looks so good that we try some desert here.


From Lonely Planet :
Dalat is located in Lam Dong province, approximately 200 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. At an elevation of 1,500 m, Dalat bears the look of an Old French city. It was founded in 1897 when Doctor Alexandre Yersin recommended that the area be developed as a resort town. Dalat offers a harmonious combination of natural scenery and historical sites.
The unique tourism of Lam Dong Province is made from the combination of topographical, climatic and hydrographical factors. Together with its forests and regional flora and fauna, Lam Dong offers distinctive scenery with many picturesque lakes, falls, hills and pine forests.
