See the first sand sculpture park in Vietnam
Visitors can see giant sand sculptures right in the center of Phan Thiet city.
In addition to familiar tourist attractions such as Sand Hill or Bau Trang, visitors to Phan Thiet can also admire unique works of art in the Sand Sculpture Park.
After a long period of survey, international scientists have confirmed that the quality of sand in Mui Ne (Phan Thiet) meets the requirements to be used as raw material for sand sculpture art. This type of art is new in Vietnam but has become very popular in the world. In the photo is the sand statue "King Kong" located right at the entrance to the park.
Sand sculptors from 15 countries around the world such as the Netherlands, Canada, Italy, Brazil, the US, Japan... were invited to directly perform the work.
As many sand sculptures as there are stories with many themes originating from Vietnamese and world fairy tales and myths such as: Lac Long Quan and Au Co, Son Tinh - Thuy Tinh, The Legend of Thach Sung, Thach Sanh, The Fox and the Crow, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast...
The artisans use natural sand taken from Mui Ne mixed with water, without additives.
The park is located on Nguyen Thong Street, right in the center of Phan Thiet City, so it will not be difficult for you to find it. The sand sculpture tells the story of the fairy tale "Toad suing the sky".

The works both reflect the artist's own creative ideas and the cultural exchange between Vietnam and other countries around the world.
Sand Sculpture Park has a separate space for children to experience the art of sand sculpture.
Ms. Thanh Thu (a tourist from Ho Chi Minh City) was quite surprised by the sand statues in the park. "When I first saw them, I was amazed because the statues looked so similar to real life. It's like you're traveling to many places to explore the architectural works," Ms. Thu shared.
From millions of tiny grains of sand, through the talented hands of artists, vivid lines and shapes appear one after another.
