‘A Sea of Sand’, Vietnam, Mui Ne, Sand Dunes by WanderingtheWorld (www.ChrisFord.com) Portfolio | Travel Blog | Tumblr | Youtube |Contact Me
Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers..
I’ve never been to a desert before, at least not one where the sand dunes roll up and down as far as the eye can see. On top of never experiencing this before, the last place I expected to first encounter this is in Vietnam. My last stop in this amazing country was the coast. One of the nicer beach resorts is called Mui Ne. Here you have beautiful beaches but also beautiful golden colored sand dunes. It’s interesting because as you drive closer to the coast the landscape abruptly changes from lush green fields of rice paddies to dry sand dunes in a matter of minutes. I struggled to find why these dunes exist in such a wet environment. What makes these dunes even more special is the untouched look of landscape. Walking a few hundred meters off the road you find the most interesting patterns in the sand, untouched by the feet of humans. It really made for some great photos.
