Dinh Cau

Located at the intersection of the calm Duong Dong River and the vast ocean, Dinh Cau is the perfect place to stop to admire the afternoon sunset. But more than a scenic spot, with fishermen clinging to the sea all year round, this place also contains many prayers for peace before each stormy trip.

How to visit

If you're hanging around in the Duong Dong area, stay at Dinh Cau for about half an hour to an hour, then take a leisurely stroll along the coast or head to the busy night market nearby. Remember, the sunsets here often attract a lot of tourists to enjoy, and the listed opening hours are sometimes flexible to change on holidays. Therefore, if you intend to visit late at night, it is a wise decision to check the closing time before you go.

Know before you go

Standing on the rapids of Dinh Cau, you will take in the sight of a vast estuary and sea, but this space was definitely not only born for sunset photography. The local people still keep the habit of coming here to light fragrant incense, praying for calm waves and calm seas. Therefore, when you step into this sacred place, remember to keep a low voice and consciously give way to those who are sincerely practicing the ceremony.

Before you visit

Choose discreet and polite clothes and pay attention to the words and voices at the place of worship; absolutely do not stand in the way of the person doing the ceremony.
Opening hours will sometimes differ from normal days during the festival season or when there are specific religious activities.
If you visit in the late afternoon, deduct the extra travel time because this area is often jammed with traffic due to the large number of visitors.
You can completely combine walking to the nearby coast without spending money to call an additional car.
