Located quite a long distance from the mainland and the city center, Binh Hung remains its untouched natural charm with the locals' warm and friendly smiles.
Visitors will be attractive with the pure water and clean asphalted roads. Bai Nom Beach with white sand and deep and clear water is surrounded with rocks in odd forms overlaping one another. The most interesting experience is maybe going by basket boats and feeding lobsters.
Staying with the family of Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, we could have a simple meal with tasty sour soup and braised fresh fish.
Thanh says, “Binh Hung used to be little known, as it is quite isolated from the mainland. Since the road Binh Tien – Vinh Hy opened and the electricity was connected to our land, life has much changed.”
