According to Dr. Dinh Kiem, former Dean of the Faculty of Human Resource Management, Ho Chi Minh City University of Labor and Social Affairs (campus II), along Binh Thuan’s coast, there is a very special geological and geomorphological structure. Moreover, the landscape of Bau Trang - Trinh Nu sand dunes is a unique coastal tourism resource.
