Attractions
Tra Khuc River:
This
is a small river, an together with the rivers of Tra Bong and Ba To, it
helps to create the plain areas in the province. Tra Khuc River not only
adds scenic beauty to the town of Quang Ngai, but also serves as an
abundant source of water supply for crops.
Visiting the province between April and
September, visitors will see huge water-wheels industriously scooping up
the river water and pouring it into canals to irrigate paddy fields on the
left banks of the river. Each water wheel is really a work of art
that is made of such countryside materials as wood, bamboo and straw.
A French tourist after seeing those
water-wheels with his own eyes wrote: "No other landscape in the province
could provide more surprise to travallers' curious eyes...".
Sa Huynh Beach:

travellers a place to stay and enjoy bathing in the sea for a day or two
before contusing their journey.

Saigon Port, and arrive at the port of Sa Huynh.
