Ninh Thuận

Ninh Thuận is a province on the southeast coast of Vietnam, positioned between Khánh Hòa and Bình Thuận. The terrain shifts from coastal strips to inland hills, with peaks reaching several hundred meters (over 1,400 feet).

The region formed the Cham principality of Panduranga until 1832, when Emperor Minh Mạng annexed it. The Cham maintained a center here for several centuries before it became Vietnamese territory.

The Kate Festival shows Cham customs through music and dance, while participants wear their own traditional dress. In Phan Rang-Tháp Chàm you can still see Cham temple towers used for religious ceremonies today.

National Highway 1A and the North-South Railway connect the province to other parts of the country. Local buses run through the districts and take travelers to smaller towns.

Wine production is possible here because rainfall stays low and the dryness benefits grapevines. The vineyards spread over wide areas and form the largest wine cultivation zone in the country.
