Admire the "underwater wonder" in Nhon Ly fishing village during the dry season

(GLO)- Not only famous for its peaceful fishing village, Nhon Ly (Quy Nhon Dong ward, Gia Lai province) also surprises visitors when the water recedes to reveal the brilliant coral reefs at Bai Dua. This is a destination considered as an "underwater wonder" of Quy Nhon's sea.

In recent years, Nhon Ly Pineapple Beach has become a popular destination for many tourists thanks to its rich and colorful coral ecosystem.

During the dry season, from March to August, nature here reveals a fascinating scene: coral reefs appear just below the clear water. The corals at Bai Dua are diverse in shape - from staghorn coral, spiral brain coral to layers of disc coral spread out like flower petals.

The summer sunlight shines down on the sea surface, making each cluster of coral glow, creating a rare, sparkling picture. However, this fragile beauty is also facing the risk of being damaged if visitors move and trample on the coral too much.

The diverse coral reef system plays the role of the green lungs of the ocean and needs to be preserved.

Experts warn that corals are very sensitive, even a small impact can cause them to break, taking decades to recover.

Local authorities and the tourism community are calling on visitors to experience responsibly: watch from afar, choose snorkeling tours or hike under the guidance of experts, and absolutely do not break or take corals home as souvenirs. Protecting Bai Dua coral is not only preserving an “underwater flower garden” but also preserving the life source of Quy Nhon sea for the future.
