Sunset is not beautiful anywhere, but once seeing this scene right at Tu Nham sandhill will definitely bring an indescribable feeling to you. Sunset here usually starts at 5 pm when the end of the day sun trails pass and gradually turns the familiar yellow-orange color. That color tone, though thoughtful as it appears in the scene of romantic movies, is irresistibly beautiful.Wilder than the warehouse at Tu Nham cat stationPhoto: @ alolove.sc102


The nature here has lovingly created the color combination between earth and heaven that cannot be described by any word. It is the brilliant yellow color, the pure white of the sand, the green color of the trees and the melodious sea in the sound of the sea breeze.

 The day is deserted, the clouds seem to be high, but by dusk, it seems to appear denser. At the moment of distraction at the back of the hill, and then quickly away again, clouds and sunlight can be reached as if with your hand.Landlord land in the Tu Nham catwalkPhoto: @ Le Xuan Trinh
