Highlights
The journey takes you on an exploration of Quang Binh from a special perspective – where nature harmonizes with history, where wild beauty and culture coexist. This tour is not just a trip, but a journey that awakens all senses, from the excitement of sand sliding to the peace by the cool stream in the deep forest.
Quang Phu Sand Dunes
Located just a short distance from Dong Hoi city center, Quang Phu is like a miniature desert with ivory-white sand dunes gently undulating in the wind. You will be captivated by its pristine, pure beauty and have the opportunity to experience fun sand sliding amidst the endless space of sand, wind, and sun – an energetic start to the day's journey.
Paradise Cave
Known as the “underground royal palace”, Paradise Cave overwhelms you from your very first steps. Inside the cave is a magnificent world of stalactites and stalagmites, created by nature over millions of years. The cool, quiet atmosphere and magical light make this an indispensable destination for those who love mysterious and pristine beauty.
Hava Valley
Nestled under the deep blue mountains, Hava is a place for you to temporarily forget the fast pace of life and immerse yourself in a peaceful space. Green lawns, clear blue lakes, lovely small wooden houses, and activities such as SUP paddling, taking photos, picnicking... create a gentle yet inspiring experience. Every corner at Hava can be a poetic frame capturing your beautiful moments with nature.
General Vo Nguyen Giap's House
Visiting Le Thuy – the hometown of the General, you will step into the rustic space of the simple wooden house where the childhood and memories of the national hero are preserved. This is not only a place to learn about a great life but also an opportunity to feel the patriotism, humility, and brilliant wisdom of a legendary general.
Khe Nuoc Lanh (Cold Water Stream)
Closing the journey is Khe Nuoc Lanh – a clear blue stream winding through the wild mountains and forests. Here, you can immerse yourself in the cool water, breathe the fresh air, and drift away the worries of daily life.
