The Thien Cam Tourism Zone is famous for desolate and unspoiled beaches, white soft sand and sapphire colored sea. In addition, Thien Cam has attracted a lot of tourists thanks to its multiform rock formations. Climbing on the 108m high mountain, tourists can have a panoramic view of the tourism zone or even fishing boats floating on the sea.
The path along the beach leads us to the Cua Nhuong fishing village. By motor boat, tourists can go to Bai Lai area, home to numerous beautiful caves. Local people come here to catch Cu Ky birds, a specialty of Thien Cam. In the summer, the Cu Ky fly here from the north, across the Truong Son Mountain Range. With just a net, skillful hunters can catch hundreds of Cu Ky birds. Cu Ky birds are as big as a chicken with black or blue feathers, and it makes a popular dish.
Typically, in Gieng Tien (Fairy Well), tourists can enjoy mineral water which runs from groundwater streams from deep in mountains. According to legend, long ago, in summer, fairies went to Thien Cam and bathed in Gieng Tien.
