It’s Tourism Year 2011, so where else can you visit to mark the occasion than the central province of Phu Yen.Sea tourism has such a huge potential in Phu Yen with its 189 kilometers of coastline including popular resorts like Cu Mong, O Loan lagoons, Vung Ro, Xuan Dai bay, Bai Mon Beach or Mui Dien Cape. Of which, Da Dia Cliffs is one of the most striking locations with its huge pile of hexagonal and pentagonal shaped basaltic rocks with part of the area under sea.
Due to the sea crashing onto the cliffs all year round, the black and yellow rocks look very smooth and shiny. In the center of the cliffs is a depression filled with still water.
Moreover, there are many stunning beaches that tourists should not miss such as Bai bang, Bai Bau and Bai Rang.
Phu Yen is also a land of long tradition, enriched culture and home to many historical relics and events. Coming to Phu Yen, tourists have the chance to listen to a Tuy An dan da (stone musical instruments) performance, a fish worshipping ceremony or gongs festival with mountainous ethnic groups.
