The White Sand Dunes, also known as Bau Trang, is a popular tourist destination in Mui Ne, Phan Thiet, often compared to the Sahara Desert. It attracts many domestic and international visitors with its pure beauty of sand and the stunning surrounding landscape, making it a must-visit spot when traveling to Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan.
The sand here used to be yellow, gradually transitioning from yellow to pure white. The White Sand Dunes have been closely linked with Bau Trang Lake for centuries. What’s fascinating here is that the White Sand Dunes provide an endless supply of sand, while Bau Trang offers an endless source of fresh water. The picturesque landscape of Bau Trang, with its crystal-clear waters, is a wonderful destination for outdoor tourists.
Exploring the White Sand Dunes by off-road motorcycle, visitors can freely discover the dunes and ride to the top for memorable photos.
This is a truly amazing tourist destination, resembling a desert with a crystal-clear freshwater lake full of blooming lotus flowers – a landscape that can't be found anywhere else. A trip to Phan Thiet wouldn't be complete without visiting the White Sand Dunes and Bau Trang.
