Son Hai village in Ninh Thuan is known as the "west-flowing village", "little Dubai", because of its beautiful but wild scenery, harsh sunshine all year round.

Son Hai con duoc biet den voi ten goi la “lang chay gio”, thuoc dia phan xa Phuoc Dinh, huyen Thuan Nam, tinh Ninh Thuan. Day la lang chai co lich su lau doi, mang ve dep moc mac, hoang so.
Son Hai is also known as the "west running village", located in Phuoc Dinh commune, Thuan Nam district, Ninh Thuan province. This is a fishing village with a long history, with a rustic and wild beauty. The name "the wind- running village" is a story of a village facing strong sea winds hitting boats, roofs... on the banks of waves. Photo: Interviewee

“Lang chai Son Hai kha tach biet, ca ngoi lang nam sat bien va xa trung tam thanh pho Phan Rang. Ban dau minh cung soc vi lang qua it dich vu, moi thu deu moc mac, gian di. Nhung chinh nhung dieu do lai lam minh sieu long. Con nguoi tai day cung chan chat, that tha”. Anh: NVCC
"Son Hai fishing village is quite isolated, the whole village is located close to the sea and far from the center of Phan Rang city. At first, I was shocked because the village had too few services, everything was rustic and simple. But those things are what make me super heartbroken. The people here are also honest and honest.

Gia Linh admitted that the climate in Son Hai is harsh, sunny and windy all year round, so the weather is always hot and dry. In return, the sea is clear, the seafood is fresh and cheap. Photo: Interviewee

Hang nam, ngoi lang phai doi mat voi vo so con gio bien quat manh vao vach da Mui Dinh, len loi vao ca nhung con thuyen, mai nha ben bo bien.
Son Hai is also considered the "thinking Dubai of Vietnam" thanks to the scenery of long golden sand hills connecting the coast. The name Son Hai also comes from the sunny and windy terrain of Ninh Thuan. Every year, the village has to face countless strong sea winds hitting Mui Dinh cliff, seeping into boats and houses on the beach. Photo: Interviewee
Toi day, du khach co the tham quan nhung dia diem noi bat nhu Ngon hai dang Mui Dinh, Doi cat Son Hai… hay day som don binh minh, di cho hai san.
Here, visitors can visit prominent places such as Mui Dinh Lighthouse, Son Hai Sand Hill... or wake up early to catch the sunrise and go to seafood markets. Photo: Interviewee
“Ngay dau toi minh kha soc, tinh mai di chuyen luon. Nhung dan phai long voi ngoi lang nho binh di va nguoi dan de men xung quanh, luon hoi minh can giup gi khong, chi cach mua hai san re va hoi tham rat nhieu thu khac nen minh quyet dinh van o lai 5 ngay 4 dem”, Gia Linh chia se.
Female tourists humorously said that the trip to Son Hai had encountered "turbulent" right from the departure. Gia Linh thought that the fishing village was located near Khanh Hoa, bordering her hometown, so she chose to travel there. However, when she arrived, she realized that the village was located in Binh Thuan, completely opposite to the original position she wanted to go. "The first day I came quite shocking, the tomorrow moved. But gradually fell in love with the simple small village and the lovely people around, always asking me to help, just how to buy cheap seafood and ask many other things so I decided to stay 5 days 4 nights," Gia Linh shared.

Nu du khach cho biet chi phi du lich tai Son Hai kha re, chi khoang 3 trieu/2 nguoi la du an, choi, kham pha trong 4 – 5 ngay. Anh: NVCC
The female tourist said that the cost of traveling to Son Hai is quite cheap, only about 1.5 million/person is enough to eat, play, and explore for 4-5 days. Photo: Interviewee

Despite its beautiful scenery, wildness, fresh and quiet air, this fishing village has not developed tourism so there are not many services, the beach has no cleaners... If tourists want to find a luxurious resort, Son Hai will not have to be an ideal choice. Photo: Interviewee
Ngoai ra, Gia Linh khang dinh thoi tiet o day rat nong, kho hanh. Doi voi nguoi suc khoe yeu co the de say nang, mat nuoc, ngat xiu… Viec di chuyen toi Son Hai bang xe khach se phai doi 2-3 chuyen vi chua co xe di thang den lang. Anh: NVCC
The weather here is very hot and dry. For people with poor health, it is easy to get lost in the sun, dehydrated, faint... Traveling to Son Hai by bus will have to change to 2-3 trips because there are no buses to the village directly. Photo: Interviewee
“Nhin chung, moi lang deu co mot net rieng. Tuy Son Hai chua co nhieu dich vu du lich nhung minh nghi nhung net dan da noi day chinh la diem cong sang nhat. Ban than minh thich nhung dieu moc mac, ban so. Dieu nay cung tuy vao so thich cua moi nguoi nua”, Gia Linh noi. Anh: NVCC
"Son Hai does not have many tourism services, but I think the rustic features here are the brightest plus. I personally like rustic, primitive things. This also depends on each person's preferences," Gia Linh said. Photo: Interviewee
Nu du khach cho biet dang len ke hoach sap toi den Lang Chai Long Thuy, Go Co. Gia Linh cung se quay lai Son Hai neu co co hoi. Anh: NVCC
The female tourist said she is planning to go to Long Thuy fishing village, Go Co in the near future. Gia Linh will also return to Son Hai if given the opportunity. Photo: Interviewee
