Ninh Thuan Province has so much to offer tourists. In addition to beautiful beaches, sunshine almost all-year round, the original Nui Chua National Park, and fresh but cheap seafood, the central coastal province also attracts visitors to its natural wonders, including beautiful naturally-carved boulders and especially grand fossilized coral reefs emerging into the sea.

Locals say the black coral reefs in the waters of Thanh Hai Commune near Hang Rai (cave of water rats) have stood against waves and strong winds in the driest locality in Vietnam for thousands of years, and no one knows exactly when these natural wonders were born.

The dead coral reefs can be described as a living universe on which grass bushes grow and wild flowers blossom. On the reefs’ surface are objects that look like ponds and lakes full of rain and sea water, herds of animals and whatever else that visitors can imagine.

Whenever waves clap the coral reefs, they produce the effect of rain falling into the surface, making the reefs even more beautiful.

It is recommended to tourists to join an organized trip to the fossilized coral reefs. On the shore near the giant coral reefs are beautiful boulders of different shapes.

Tourists can contact the Ecotourism and Environmental Education Department in Ninh Thuan Province for a tour to the fossilized coral reefs.
