Ban Than Rapid: Arriving at Ban Than Rapid, you will see a wide variety of unique and interesting rocks. With the blue ocean as a backdrop, the black rocks stand out with their bizarre ridges, resembling the rugged back of a giant monster about to rise. During sunset, the rocks rise and resemble the shape of whales, stonefish, and mushroom, making up a picturesque scene that puts any skilled sculptor to shame.

Ly Son Island: From Chu Lai, you can travel to Ly Son island, a destination that has long been praised as a paradise in the heart of the ocean. Ly Son is called the Jeju island of Vietnam because of numerous relics from past volcanoes since millions of years ago.

Particularly, love birds always choose to take wedding photos at To Vo Rock Gate that stands right by the sea because of its enormous and magnificent space.


Cuisine

Chu Lai food scene is very characteristic of Quang Nam, especially steamy and tasty “Mỳ Quảng” and crispy pork spring rolls. Quang Nam noodle is made of rice flour with big, white, and chewy strands, to be enjoy with pork, chicken, snakehead fish, or roasted peanuts and dipped in delicious sauce.

Chu Lai is a coastal province, therefore local cuisine is mostly made up of seafood, like delicious and nutritious baby squids.

Baby squids are used in a variety of popular snacks like steamed squids, fried squids in ginger fish sauce, pineapple stir fried squids, and pork stuffed squids.

Another popular specialty of Quang Nam is langsat fruit. It can only be found in Tien Phuoc and Dai Loc regions, and usually plump with its pretty yellow hue when ripe. It has a sharp sweetness and strong flavor that are extremely hard to resist.
