Sand Dunes of Mui Ne

Overview
Mui Ne is famous for its enormous red and white sand dunes. The 'red dunes' (doi hong) are convenient to Hai Long, but the 'white dunes' (doi cat trang) 24km northeast are the more impressive – the near-constant oceanic winds sculpt the pale yellow sands into wonderful Saharaesque formations. But as this is Vietnam (not deepest Mali) there's little chance of experiencing the silence of the desert.

Location
4 hours from Ho Chi Minh City. The sand dunes spread from Binh Thuan to Ninh Thuan but the main and most beautiful dunes is located in Mũi Né, opposite Fairy Stream.subscribe to pewdiepie

Characteristics
The White Dunes are by far the larger dunes and are known by locals as Bau Trang or White Lake. There are quite a few small stands selling food and drinks to visitors within the area along with pine trees offering much-needed shade.

The Red Dunes, as the name suggests, features reddish-brown sand that makes them a more popular place for photography. Smaller than White Dunes, they are easier to reach. Sand-sledding is a common (and fun) activity here, but it is hard to nail down where the best location to do so is as the sands shift from season to season so it’s best to look around. Dry sand is much more enjoyable to sled on.

Fairy Stream: a peaceful stream of water which you can walk that is surrounded by some impressive rock formations that look from outer space.

Activities
