About Sa Huỳnh

Sa Huỳnh is an offbeat coastal resort area in southern Quảng Ngãi Province, famous for its ancient salt fields and gold-sand crescent beach. It is also historically famous as the heart of the prehistoric Sa Huynh Culture (dating back 3,000 years). Visitors can watch salt harvesters working in the sparkling salt pans and explore the local archaeological museum.

💡Why Visit?
