The dark blue color of the rock combined with the clear blue water from the sea brings an unforgettable experience for visitors. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_27_347_38984258/d0d1866a902879762039.jpg" width="625" height="300"> Tam Giang Dam on Tam Giang River is also in Tuy An district. Dams are very important for the rice fields in Tuy An district. You can cross the dam, but be careful not to fall into the river. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_27_347_38984258/8a50d8ebcea927f77eb8.jpg" width="625" height="467"> This is known as the first place to watch the sunrise in the country.
