more than a thousand species of plants, hundreds of which can be used as medicines.

Ba National Park. These routes are also divided by different levels of diffculty, so travellers don't have to

Ke Ga Cape, which is about twenty-five kilometres from the city of Phan Thiet, is often overlooked by
the majority of travellers coming to Viet Nam. Therefore, the peacefulness of this coastal area has been
preserved. If you want to experience the ‘real’, unspoiled side of Viet Nam, we highly recommend that
you add Ke Ga Cape to your 'places to visit' list.
Once you’ve arrived at Ke Ga Cape, its attractions are immediately obvious. Most travellers are attracted
by the sight of its untouched cliffs spreading out along the coast and the sound of the casuarina trees
rustling in the breeze.
On sunny days, you will be enthralled by the harmonious tones of the sea and sky, and the sight of clouds
embracing the mountain peaks. You can also admire the splendid sunrise, and later go for a walk to enjoy
the mesmerising sunset. The red-yellow rays of the sun reflected in the waves paint an exhanting picture
of the pristine Ke Ga Cape. Sometimes, it may be hard for you to distinguish where sky ends and the sea
begins.
If you want to get to Ke Ga Lighthouse, taking a canoe is highly recommended because it is quick,
convenient, and safe. Ke Ga Lighthouse is worth a visit during your Viet Nam tour, if you want to
experience daily life in a fishing village. The locals are very friendly, warm-hearted, and sincere. Not
surprisingly, they will often invite you to join them for a meal of their freshly caught seafood, which will
definitely awaken your taste buds.
