I’m a photography enthusiast, and the landscapes in Northwest Vietnam seem incredible for capturing scenic views. Are there any specific spots that are particularly photogenic...
Quang Binh is one of the provinces that boasts many beautiful beaches and vast white dunes. Not only does Nhat Le Beach or Jumping Rocks Beach have endless white sand beaches, but Quang Binh also has another extremely beautiful place that has many extremely impressive dunes, completely different from the sand at the beach. If you want to explore one of the most unique and beautiful places in Quang Binh, visit Quang Phu Dunes.

1. Where Are The Quang Phu Dunes?
Quang Phu Dunes are located in Quang Phu commune, adjacent to Nhan Trach commune, Bo Trach district, about 10 km from Dong Hoi town center in the northeast. From Dong Hoi town, you must follow Tran Hung Dao Street, turn onto Nguyen Du Street, cross Truong Phap Street, and then turn left to reach this sightseeing spot.
Arriving at the Quang Phu Dunes, you will be impressed by the magnificent sea of white sand in the sun mixed with the green color of wild bushes, and the deep brown color of many dry branches. Here, you could also start the path to conquer the dunes with a height of nearly 100m.
2. The Beauty Of Dunes
The sandhill of Quang Phu is distinguished by its magical natural beauty. In particular, the pattern of the sand is changed every day by the floating sea breeze that blows all day and night. The color of the sand also changes from day to day based on the changes in sunlight. When the sun is shining, visitors can see pure white and smooth sand that glows bright yellow. At sunset, all turns gray and white.
With high and sloping dunes, the sandhills are known to many people for their uniquely exciting game - sandboarding. It is simply skateboarding not on concrete floors but on sand instead. Sandboarding is suitable for everyone as a game to relax comfortably or for those who want to have a strong emotional experience.
