At the central square of Tuy Hoa city, Nghinh Phong Tower is a favorite photo spot for many tourists. The designers drew inspiration from Da Dia Reef to create a unique identity mark right in the city center. The idea combines the legend of the Dragon and Fairy descendants with 2 stone towers, each side representing 50 children going to the sea - 50 children going to the mountains.
Nghinh Phong Tower carries the story of the nation
The gap between the 2 stone towers is just enough for 2 people, representing the place of the 2 ancestors of the entire Vietnamese nation. When the sea breeze blows through the 2 stone towers, it creates enchanting natural music.
As a large square by the sea, you can see the people of Phu Yen engaging in daily activities here such as walking, exercising, and practicing singing and dancing… The poetic scenery next to the gentle waves welcomes the morning sun with the slow, peaceful rhythm of life of the people here.

When visiting Phu Yen and its scenic spots mentioned above, tourists should pay attention to some issues.
Phu Yen has two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season, typical of the central region. You should visit during the dry season to explore many places and avoid inconvenient storms. The rainy season usually lasts from September to December, while the rest of the year has its own unique beauty worth exploring.
You should arrange a convenient route to visit the tourist attractions in Phu Yen reasonably. For example, the Da Dia Reef and Yen Island are quite far apart (about 20km not counting the sea), so it is not advisable to schedule them on the same day.
The Da Dia Reef and Ganh Den Lighthouse are quite close to each other, so you should plan to visit them together in the morning. In the afternoon, travel about 25km to Thanh Luong Pagoda, and visit Nghinh Phong Tower about 9km from the pagoda. You should set aside a whole day to go to the island to explore Yen Island and Sun Island.
Ganh Den Lighthouse is very close to the Da Dia Reef
