"This is a country with magical powers. Its heat, its verdant fields, deep blue seas, noisy streets, and tough women with bright eyes and smiles. Vietnam has given me more experience than any other city." Baby Annie described Vietnam in her eyes in the book Rose Island.

From south to north, Saigon is known as the "Paris of the East", Mui Ne is "half the sea and half the desert", and Da Lat is the "mysterious mixed-blood town"...Of course, there is also Da Nang. This city with mountains, seas and humanities, the more "Xiang", the deeper it becomes.

Gibran once said: "I will always walk on the sandy shore. Between the sand and the foam, the tide will wipe out my footprints, and the wind will blow away the foam. But the ocean and the sandy shore will always exist."
At My Khe Beach, this feeling is particularly strong. Watching the tide flow over the beach again and again, and then slowly fade away, like the past in life, irreversible.

The sunset in the evening is even more shocking. The gorgeousness and the tranquility are the most unmissable visual feast at My Khe Beach.
