Like Lung Cu in Ha Giang Province at Vietnam’s northernmost point and Dat Mui in Ca Mau Province at the most southern, Mui Dien in Phu Yen Province is the most easterly part of the country for tourists. The top of the 26 meter lighthouse is the first place in Vietnam to catch the rays of the sun at dawn.
Mui Dien or Dai Lanh Lighthouse is located in Tan Phuoc Hamlet, Hoa Tam Commune, Tuy Hoa District, Phu Yen Province. From the main street, go to beautiful Bai Mon Beach for bathing and snorkelling the coral reefs, then go up the path to the lighthouse.
It was built in 1890 with 107 steps inside. From the top the fishing boats look like toys floating on the ocean.
