From Minai, I really felt the tropics.

The hot sun makes it impossible for people to stay on beaches and highways without trees for another minute.

Not to mention a leisurely walk.

Walking down the street in flip-flops, sunglasses and surfboards,

Most of them are also white people who like sunbathing.

In the fishing village town of Minai in southeastern Vietnam, there is a half-moon beach with a length of 10 km.

Minai has a beautiful name. This used to be a small fishing village by the sea. As night falls, the sea breeze blows through the coconut shadow, and there will be stars all over the sky, reaching out to the endless sea; When the morning star lights up the sky, Xiaguang dyes the beach and outlines the fishing village, which is warm and harmonious.

With Minai fishing village as the center, there are central, eastern and western beaches in the west of the fishing village, of which the western beaches are mainly large resorts and the central and eastern beaches are mainly backpackers' hostels. There is only one main road in Minai, which runs through the fishing village from west to east, then extends to the north, and then reaches the white sand dunes, about 30 kilometers.

Haidang Resort is located more than 20 kilometers north of the fishing village, far away from the fishing village and the noisy west, middle and east coasts. If you like excitement, it is close to Sinh Tourist, and the seafood stall is at the door. This place is not suitable. But the advantage of Haidang is that it is more like Eden, facing the sea and facing the sunrise in the east.

In fact, Minai is a straight road next to the sea. It is divided into three regions: east, middle and west. The east is a gathering place for local residents, the middle is a large number of seafood stalls and hotels, and the west is a high-end resort hotel. Although many people mentioned that the seafood in Minai is cheap and delicious. Maybe the number of people going there has increased in recent years. Their seafood is actually similar to that of Shenzhen, and there are not many varieties. Compared with the seafood in Shenzhen market, Minai's seafood is dwarfed.

Minai is the most suitable city for holiday in Vietnam. There are very few people in China, most of whom are European and American tourists. The whole city is straight asphalt road, rent a motorcycle, sunrise in white sand dunes, sunset in red sand dunes ... so cool that there are no friends.

The first feeling to Minai is hot! Hot! Hot!

It was dark all the way from north to south, but Mina was so dark that she had no friends. 50++ Sunscreen is oily when applied to the body, and when it is tanned, the whole person will be dark and shiny under the strong sunlight, just hoping not to get sunburned.

Fairy Creek is a small stream in Minai. The water quality is clear, the sand in the water is soft, and plants such as four-leaf clover grow on the shore. Fairy Creek has shallow water and fine sand. After exposure to the hot sun, the water temperature is a little warm. When you wade barefoot, your feet step on the fine sand surface, and the fine sand and warm water flow through your toes, just like a fairy touching with a delicate jade hand.

The entrance to Xianxi is very inconspicuous. If you don't look at the map carefully, it is estimated that it will pass in a blink of an eye. The entrance is next to the local house, and it stinks all around. It is also funny to see the tangled expression that everyone wants to get into the water but is afraid to get into the water. An uncle who came out of it said to me, "Don't worry, it's okay." In an instant, his shoes took off.

At the end of Fairy Creek is a small waterfall. In fact, there is a relatively wide river upstream. Therefore, when taking a bath in this waterfall, we must take into account that the sand in the upper reaches will also wash down along the current. After seeing someone wiping a stream on his face, he will continue to spit out the sand in his mouth to amuse the people present.

In Minai, you can't miss the trade fishing port of Minai fishing village. There are people who go out to sea early to catch fish in the evening, there are lively seafood transactions, of course, there are fresh seafood barbecues, and nearby residents come here to wholesale. You can smell the smell of fish and the sea everywhere. You will see Vietnamese women in traditional costumes driving motorcycles to the seaside waiting for their husbands' harvest, and you will also see some special fishing tools and some fresh seafood lying in colorful baskets waiting to be sent to hotels or other restaurants.

PS: The small fishing village cries at sunrise and sunset. Friends who have time must visit it.

The most attractive thing about Minai is the huge sand dunes, the red river composed of white sand dunes and red sand dunes, and the extremely special karst landform. White sand Cupid Red Sand Dunes is more spectacular and worth visiting, with white sand and even sand skiing. Here, you can feel that there is a freshwater lake deep in the desert, and the lake is covered with tall and deep tropical jungle vegetation. The sand dunes in Bihu Lake are wrapped in green trees, and lotus flowers are floating on the lake. Feel the wind blowing lotus waves, the treetops rustle in the jungle on the shore, and the sand flow is traceless.

Seaside resorts have many beaches and few deserts. Growing up on the beach in Shenzhen, I have little interest in the sea, but Minai, which is semi-desert and semi-sea, is very special, which is why Minai attracts most people.

The room is small, the sound insulation is a bit poor, and there are two Koreans living next door, which is very noisy. This time, I found that Smecta speaks louder than us, and I often hear loud conversations in the store, mostly from South Korea. In addition, I found that my ability to distinguish between Chinese, Japanese and Koreans has reached Max, and I haven't missed it once.

In fact, Minai beach is a bit hidden, and you need to cross the alley next to the expressway to get there. If you stay in any hotel on the coastline, you don't have to worry about this. The beach of the hotel will not be closed, just follow it. Kite surfing is a very popular entertainment. If you have a foundation, you can rent equipment directly to try it out. If you have no foundation, you don't need to worry. Many coaches will sit on the beach with their own equipment. They have plenty of time to teach you as long as the price is reasonable.

I was lucky enough to find a plane seat high in the sand dune to capture the beauty of a stream to distinguish the two landforms, but in windy weather, limestone powder smaller than sand is a great threat to the camera and human health. Glasses and masks are essential equipment, and the stains on the camera CMOS must be cleaned manually to remove them.

Barefoot didn't walk a few steps

It was directly hit by the strong wind.

People were badly blown by the wind.

The whole body and all the equipment were thoroughly baptized by sand.

Even the smallest corner of the backpack was not spared.

The camera did not escape.

Sunrise in white sand dunes and sunset in red sand dunes are always unforgettable. After I put myself in the red sand dunes, I seem to forget my existence, which just makes me completely happy. The happiest moment of the day is lying on the sand dunes and watching the sunset on the horizon. Everyone is drooling over this warmth, and there are too many disappointments that make me have the urge to chase.

Red sand dunes are suitable for watching sunsets. Pick a high place, sit on the sand dune, and overlook the sea and the sunset on the sea from the far street. Watching the sunset gradually set, half the sky was reflected. Purple sunset clouds and brownish red sand dunes are more beautiful in the shadow of sunset. The blue sky and white clouds contrast with the red sand dunes. If a girl wears a long red dress, it is easy to make a movie.

If you want to ski in the red sand dunes, you should pay attention to the local children. They will follow you and tell you to take pictures, teach you to ski and give you some tips, but! ! ! Their goal is not your tip! This is stealing from your bag. Never give it to them.

Minai's fishing village is a whole tidal flat, with fishing boats scattered far and near on the sea, and the air is filled with a solid smell, as if returning to the messy and real fishing village pier where the heroine of the movie "Lover" first met the hero.

At the seaside of Minai, eating Bok-style barbecue has almost become the patent of China tourists. A large number of tourists from China flocked to Bok to taste the neurotic inventions of Vietnamese who knew nothing about cooking. Qingkou is roasted with leeks and peanuts, and the lobster sought after by many Chinese people does not actually have a very superior price. On the contrary, many good choices can be found in roadside stalls in local residential areas, but the prices are still not too cheap. Crabs are 300,000 guilders per kilogram, lobsters are 450,000 guilders, and many shellfish are 50,000 guilders per kilogram. The method is simple and the taste is average.

Raiders who write Vietnamese food, I really doubt whether they have eaten all kinds of delicious food in China. Vietnamese seafood is almost incomparable except that it is fatter than the aquatic products in China's major seafood markets. If you have eaten seafood partners in Shenzhen, clams from Tian Heng Island in Weihai, grilled oysters in Zhanjiang, and all kinds of seafood hot pots in Shenzhen, I don't think you will even look at these Vietnamese delicacies.

China people's must-see attractions in Minai are nothing more than red and white sand dunes and Fairy Creek. Besides Fairy Creek, I have a little surprise. Red and white sand dunes are very responsible and there is no suspense. If you have been to Xiangshawan and Kubuqi in Inner Mongolia, Tengger and Shapotou in Ningxia, Crescent Spring in Gansu or any Gobi in Xinjiang, even Mo Tian on the edge of Gyeonggi or the Gold Coast in Dai Nan, the red and white sand dunes are weak places for you. Absolutely weak. If you are not a photographer holding your girlfriend, or you are the photographer's girlfriend, wearing a black hat and standing on the sand dunes to be the beauty of the month, then this scenic spot is even weaker!

I'm a little excited by the delicate feeling at the foot of Xianxi sand. There are many stalagmites in the open karst landform. Was it a cave? Is Fairy Creek the former underground river? I think it's evil because the American army bombed the mountain and leaked such a valley.

Originally, I thought Minai was the above-mentioned sightseeing project, and I should go there later, but when I walked to the seaside of Minai, I realized that Minai's kite surfing was what attracted me, at least. Drooling on the beach, watching a group of handsome guys and beautiful women in Europe and America rushing around in the waves with kites one by one, made me want to learn surfing.

The most painful thing about taking portraits in Vietnam is getting up early. Vietnam is one hour ahead of China. In other words, China gets up at 6 o'clock and Viet Nam gets up at 5 o'clock. If you want to get up early before sunrise, you must get up at 4 o'clock.

Fortunately, my thirties never like nightlife, and there is no Chinese channel on the hotel TV. I often take a sunset after dinner and go to bed, and I can get up at 4 o'clock the next day! It's almost 9 o'clock. 10. After breakfast, I'll go back to the hotel to take a nap. Sleep until noon, ride a motorcycle to find food, go back to the hotel to sleep after eating, go out at 3 pm to step on the spot and shoot the sunset ... After a few days, I feel that getting up early and going to bed early is quite refreshing.

Minai's fishing village is characterized by its original ecology. What kind of original ecology? ! It is a state of no management and no cleaning, and it is a natural state!

The mind of the sea is broad. If you give him a lot of rubbish, he will give it back to you!

Along the long coastline of the fishing village, garbage washed up by the waves can be seen everywhere. In the morning, we want to find a clean seat to do push-ups at the fishing village beach. We walked back and forth several times, but we couldn't find any seats to waste.

The most distinctive fishing village is the dustpan boat used by fishermen. This is not for fishing, but for transporting seafood ashore from fishing boats that can't land.

I have been to fishing villages in several cities in Vietnam, and only Minai's "dustpan boat" is very well painted and of great value. It can be used as a perfect background for portraits at sunrise or sunset.

The location of Minai fishing village on Google map is not very accurate, so you will walk to the fishermen's house. It's better to follow the sun, take pictures in the east in the morning and west in the afternoon, where there are fewer people and more "dustpan boats".

The fishermen here are not very friendly. I wonder if they are often expelled by our China warships when they go fishing. I took photos in the fishing village. A fisherman came to ask him if he would like to go fishing by boat. I politely refused and continued to take pictures. He walked around in my lens range until I left.

An old lady has been watching me shoot, but she doesn't like it enough. She took the initiative to take me to a fishing boat, which means to be closer to the sea. I'm a little afraid to cross a simple bamboo bridge to get on a fishing boat. The old lady took off her slippers and walked on the bamboo bridge first, indicating that she would pull me over. I quickly prepared to take off my shoes, but she waved me to put them on. When I was led to the fishing boat, the old lady was sitting where I didn't take pictures.

At this time, another fishing boat rowed over, and the owner warmly invited me aboard. I'm going up. The old lady quickly grabbed me and said something to the owner, who rowed the boat away angrily. The old lady said a few words of Vietnamese to me mysteriously. I didn't understand it. I thought it might be "getting on the boat for money" or something.

After the photo shoot, the old lady pulled me off the bamboo bridge again. I am very grateful, but I thought to myself, "Will it cost money next?" ! "As a result, the old lady is not interesting at all, but she feels quite proud. At this time, a little girl who was cleaning the yard finally got up the courage and greeted me shyly in English and asked me where I came from. How old are you? At this time, the fishermen gathered around and looked at the photos I took curiously. Suddenly, a warm current rippled in my heart. There are good people and bad people everywhere, but as long as you are kind and kind, you will be treated well. I always believe in the goodness preserved in my heart.

Mina, half seawater, half flame. Strange combination, but not contradictory, helpless beauty. Left, sea, right, sand dunes ...
