In Quang Ngai, there is an ancient volcanic crater located close to the coast, about 30 square meters wide, still quite intact, attracting many tourists to visit.

Ba Lang An Cape (in Phu Quy village, Binh Chau commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai) is more than 30 km northeast of Quang Ngai city center. This place is a favorite destination for tourists, because the vestiges of a unique ancient volcanic crater located close to the coast are still quite intact.

Geological changes and volcanic eruptions millions of years ago formed Ba Lang An cape. Scientists discovered an ancient volcanic crater that is still quite intact, about 30 square meters wide, located close to the coast.

Inside the crater, there are moss, fish, snails... living as a community. Scientists believe that this crater is at least 11 million years old.

Around the crater are basalt fields, ballast columns, and extremely unique lava rocks.

From above, this place has a charming beauty, mixed with a bit of magic and mystery. The clear blue sea water is playing with the black rocks, painting an extremely impressive scene. Mui Ba Lang An is a famous place that attracts many tourists to visit, swim and take pictures.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Sang (in Quang Ngai City) said that Ba Lang An Cape is a very pristine place with unique volcanic sediments, especially the ancient crater. Coming here, the air is fresh and cool, ideal for relaxing with family.

In addition to the ancient crater, at Ba Lang An cape there is also a lighthouse which is also an attractive destination for tourists. This lighthouse was built in 1982, has been repaired many times, helping ships operating in the Quang Ngai sea to orient themselves.

Ba Lang An is a cape created from lava deposits that gradually flow towards the sea. Standing at Ba Lang An, you can clearly see Ly Son island district (Quang Ngai) with 3 volcanoes standing tall in the middle of the ocean. Ba Lang An cape is also determined to be the closest mainland location to Hoang Sa archipelago with a distance of 135 nautical miles.
