Mui Ne - A fishing village where time (almost) stood still
About 200km north of Ho Chi Ming City, lies Mui Ne,
a former sleepy fishing village that is fast becoming
a popular leisure destination. Yet, the many resort-style
developments that have risen along its long stretch
of coastline, the lives of the local fishing communities
continue as it has for generations. Mui Ne’s long
beach is quiet and serene, great for walks, jogging,
to watch the fishermen at work, or to appreciate spectacular
sunsets. Read more...

in southern Vietnam for most of the 20th Century, and
