Mui Ne was once a quiet fishing village with minimal infrastructure. Its transformation began in the 1990s, especially after the solar eclipse in 1995 brought an influx of visitors. Since then, it has evolved into a well-developed tourist area while still preserving its fishing heritage.
Nearby, you'll find Cham Towers and temples from the ancient Champa Kingdom, offering architectural insight into Vietnam’s spiritual and cultural diversity. The village itself still retains traditional stilt houses and simple fishing boat harbors.
