Mr. Tran Van Huy, a fisherman living in the Hon Do area, shared: "In the past, Hon Do wasn't widely known, so it was quite wild and deserted. In recent years, more tourists have discovered Hon Do, which has given us the opportunity to sell more local seafood, increasing our income and supporting our families. To sustain the benefits of tourism development and attract more visitors, we regularly organize clean-up efforts to keep the beach area beautiful and pristine."

Lang Ba Vu
Ba Vu Mausoleum (also known as Nhu Mau Mausoleum) is located in group 9, Ninh Hiep ward, Ninh Hoa town, Khanh Hoa province.

The project was directed by the king to be built according to the mausoleum architecture to repay gratitude, so the people call it a mausoleum. Going back in history, from 1775 onwards, Khanh Hoa was a land where disputes frequently occurred between the Tay Son army and the Nguyen Lord army.

When fighting with the Tay Son dynasty, Nguyen Anh failed many times and had to pull the remnants of his army to flee. One time when running to My Hiep village, the food was exhausted, he was sick, the soldiers were both hungry and exhausted. …the situation is extremely dangerous. In the dark of night, Nguyen Anh and his entourage knocked on a resident's door to ask for a bowl of rice to ease his stomach. The homeowner (legend is Mrs. Truong Thi Tiem) felt compassion and invited Nguyen Anh and his entourage to the house to rest. After that, she sent her maids to kill the pigs, cook rice for everyone, and provide extra food for the journey. As for Nguyen Anh, in addition to taking good care of his medicine, she also had someone milk the cow for him to drink to quickly restore his health. Thanks to that dedicated care and kind treatment, Nguyen Anh soon recovered, and the generals gradually recovered their health to continue pulling troops to the South. After Nguyen Anh unified the country, ascended the throne and took the title Gia Long (1802-1819). Remembering the help of people in the past, the king sent someone to My Hiep village to bring the old lady to the capital to take care of her. However, when the messenger arrived, the old woman had passed away. To show his gratitude, King Gia Long posthumously awarded her the title "Nhu Mau" (nanny). At the same time, the king ordered the Ministry of Public Works to send a number of skilled workers who were building the king's palace in the capital at that time to My Hiep to coordinate with local workers to build a mausoleum for the Nanny according to the mausoleum specifications of the King. Royal. The mausoleum was built in two years, from 1802 to 1804 and completed. The inauguration ceremony was held in a grand manner and was directly presided over by the provincial governor.

Every year, on the anniversary of her death, dignitaries and villagers gather to hold a very solemn death anniversary ceremony, complete with music and rituals like royal mausoleums. Since then, the incense burning and offerings at Ba Vu's mausoleum are still conducted by the Tuan Vu Khanh Hoa mandarin following the two-period Spring and Autumn custom. Today, the Relics Management Board along with the local government and people still organize the death anniversary of Ba Vu on December 16 every year. Lang Ba Vu is a cultural heritage ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as a National Historical - Cultural Monument on February 12, 1999.

Dai Lanh beach is likened to a princess sleeping in the middle of the vast ocean because few people live here and the surrounding scenery is quite peaceful and quiet. Although, in 2010, a travel company invested in building a resort here, this place still appears as an exciting, pristine beach. That is an interesting thing for tourists who want to find a space to rest after months of hardship and hard work. In particular, with a comfortable, airy, fresh space, you can also come here with your family and friends to have fun and organize group games. One of the joys of tourists when visiting Dai Lanh is following the light keepers or fishermen hunting eels at sea. This species of fish was once compared to the streamers of the ocean. Eels often reside in places with dangerous terrain, fast-flowing water, and deep and dark rock holes. There are 3 types of eels: coconut eels (yellow), black eels and cotton eels (black and white spots). Eel hunting is very difficult, but for visitors who love adventure, this will be an opportunity to try their hand at exploring the sea. Although it still has its inherent wild beauty, today, tourists can find restaurants and hotels to serve their meals and relaxation more quickly and easily. These areas are built around the beach, just a short walk, you and your loved ones will find an ideal place to rest. Dai Lanh beach is considered the most beautiful beach in the central region and the whole country. For such an ideal tourist destination, Nha Trang cannot help but exploit and serve the tourism industry. Therefore, in the near future, the beach will be centrally planned to further promote local tourism development to exploit all the advantages here, making Dai Lanh a tourist destination in Nha Trang. The site is not to be missed for visitors.
