The most ideal time to take pictures is early morning and early afternoon because of few people and nice light. Besides the twin towers, visitors can visit and take pictures in the park area, embankment, walking path… also on the square. Especially at night, at the twin towers there is a vivid 3D mapping and laser light show.

Ho Son Air Conditioning Pond

Spreading along both sides of Tran Phu Street, Tuy Hoa City, the lake was built with the main effect of drainage, anti-flooding and climate regulation, but combining the green areas along the lakeside, bridges and roads, so the scenery is poetic and attractive. The highlight here is the bridge across the lake and the graceful curves of the lake border. Although newly completed and put into operation, this place has become a “hot” rendezvous for young people to take pictures to check-in, admire the scenery, or simply go for a walk.

Abyss Waterfall

Vuc Hom is located in Vinh Xuan village, An Linh commune, Tuy An district, about 45 km from Tuy Hoa city. This is a waterfall located between basalt columns formed by nature in the same way as Ganh Da Dia of Phu Yen, so it is also known as “Ganh Da Dia on land”. The road to this place is not easy, but when you reach the finish line, you will be overwhelmed by the majestic scenery of the natural waterfall pouring down from a height of 20 meters. At the foot of the waterfall is a large, cool lake, surrounded by green forest trees.

This place is very suitable for those who love camping, hiding in the heat in the mountains or like hunting. Because the area of ​​Vuc Hom waterfall is still unspoiled, there is no service, so visitors to explore should pay attention to go in groups, clean up trash before returning and do not play risky games.
