Thanh Hoa beach has a million-like sunrise, visitors come to 'heal' for several million

In early July, Minh Hien (Hanoi) and a group of close friends traveled to Bai Dong (Thanh Hoa) - a new "healing" location that has emerged in the past 3 years.

"Our group discussed locations such as Quan Lan, Co To (Quang Ninh), Cat Ba (Hai Phong) or Bai Dong. After calculating, the group chose Bai Dong because it is convenient to travel, does not have to take a train or ferry, and the cost of accommodation, food, and services is also very cheap.

My group of 5 members went for 3 days and 2 nights, played "unlimitedly" and only spent about 1.5 million VND/person. Taking pictures of the sunrise at Bai Dong is just as beautiful as the famous islands", Hien said.

Minh Hien was "surprised" when breakfast here was quite delicious, priced at 30,000-35,000 VND/bowl of noodles, homestay was about 400,000 VND/room with full amenities, a full seafood meal was about 200,000 VND/person...

Bai Dong belongs to Nghi Son peninsula, about 60 km south of Thanh Hoa city center and more than 200 km from Hanoi. This is a "gateway" connecting the mainland with Me island - an island cluster considered a marine nature reserve.

In the past 3 years, Bai Dong has been loved by many tourists for its wild, peaceful beauty, clear blue sea, convenient transportation, fresh seafood and cheap prices. This place has a long coastline, surrounded by high mountains and rocky cliffs. From the coastal cliffs, tourists can admire the impressive sunrise and sunset scenes, which are said to be as beautiful as Ly Son and Phu Quoc.

This summer, Bai Dong is a "tourism keyword" attracting attention. Many images and videos of sunrise and sunset at Bai Dong have received hundreds of thousands of interactions on social networks.

Although tourism services in Bai Dong are not as diverse as Hai Tien and Sam Son in Thanh Hoa, they are gradually developing.

From Hanoi, visitors can travel to Bai Dong in just 4 hours by private car or limousine (price 250,000 - 300,000 VND/person/way), bus (about 150,000 VND/person/way).

Mr. Quoc Duy - a tourism worker in Nghi Son said that the number of visitors looking for, booking tours or experience services in the Bai Dong area and Me Island this summer has increased. SUP tours, night squid fishing, 2-day-1-night Me Island tours, watching the sunrise along Bai Dong beach... are especially popular with visitors.

According to Mr. Quoc Duy, there are 3 destinations that are loved by tourists here, including: The beach of Nghi Son Eco Island resort; "Lonely tree" - about 400m from the beach (currently the lonely tree has fallen but this area is still a very beautiful place to watch the sunrise and sunset); Nghi Son Bay fishing village.

Visitors can also spend time visiting the peaceful fishing village, church, lighthouse... Life here is peaceful, bringing a feeling of leisure and gentleness.

In the evening, visitors can enjoy seafood in the fishing village, drink coffee, and watch the sea. Compared to Hai Tien and Sam Son, the Bai Dong beach area is said to have cheaper prices. With 450,000 - 500,000 VND/person, visitors can experience renting tents, grilling seafood by the sea...

If you have time, you can combine a tour to Bung Island, experience fishing, rowing, watching corals, and enjoying local cuisine. The cost is about 300,000 VND/person.

According to many articles sharing experiences of traveling to Bai Dong, the cost for a 2-day, 1-night trip here only ranges from 1 - 1.3 million VND/person, including staying at a comfortable motel/hotel, eating fresh seafood, participating in a SUP tour, and renting a motorbike.

However, visitors should note that there are still very few resorts, motels, hotels, and homestays in Bai Dong. Visitors should research and book in advance to have a satisfactory accommodation./.
