Why Visit Ha Tinh Province?

A Blend of Coastal Beauty and Cultural Depth

Ha Tinh Province, located on Vietnam’s North-Central Coast, spans 137 km of pristine coastline, just 341 km from Hanoi and 17 km south of Vinh Ward, Nghe An. With its golden beaches, lush national parks, and historical sites, Ha Tinh welcomes over 50,000 visitors annually. Activities range from $0.50–$40 (12,500–1,000,000 VND), catering to beachgoers, history buffs, and eco-travelers.

Ha Tinh enjoys a tropical monsoon climate (dry season: November–April, 22–32°C or 71.6–89.6°F; rainy season: May–October, 24–36°C or 75.2–96.8°F).
