The experience

The day starts with pickup from your hotel in Mui Ne or Phan Thiet. Your guide and driver meet you at the lobby to begin the route, which opens at the Poshanu Cham Tower: an architectural work of the Champa Kingdom that stands as a cultural landmark in the city. From there, you stop at Phan Thiet's fishing harbour to watch the working boats and photograph the daily rhythm of local fishermen.

The centrepiece is Ta Cu Mountain. You take the cable car up to the summit, where about 100 steps lead to the lying Buddha, a 49-metre statue that overlooks the city. Along the ascent you pass smaller statues and vantage points. The mountain itself holds ancient temples and natural features that frame the spiritual character of the site. On the descent, the cable car brings you back down the same route.

Before returning to your hotel, the tour stops at a dragon fruit farm where the guide explains how the fruit is grown and harvested in this region. Drop-off happens at your hotel, ending the tour after roughly five hours.
