Phu My, Rural district in Bình Định, Vietnam.
Phu My is a rural district in Bình Định province in central Vietnam. The area spreads across gentle landscapes with rice fields, fish ponds, and small villages connected by narrow pathways.
The area was settled during Vietnamese southern expansion as farmers used the fertile river regions. Later it was organized as an administrative district to manage the growing rural population.
Local residents maintain traditional Vietnamese customs through seasonal festivals that incorporate regional music performances and demonstrations of local craftsmanship.
Visitors find best accessibility on country roads, especially during the drier months from October to April. Local buses and motorbike taxis connect the villages, and travelers should allow extra time for slower travel.
The region is known for its freshwater shrimp farming in extensive ponds, a specialized craft that few visitors notice. These breeding ponds are part of the daily landscape and show an important local income source.
