The coastal town of Mui Ne in Viet Nam has recently been listed among the best destinations for sand-boarding in the world.

According to the list titled “World’s 10 Best Sandboarding Destinations,” created by the infotainment blog wonderslist.com, sand-boarding is similar to snowboarding, which involves riding down the slope of a sand dune with both legs strapped to a board.

The list also recommends other places around the world like the Duna Grande in Ica, Peru; the Tattori sand dunes in Japan; the Lucky Bay sand dunes in Australia; the active Cerro Negro volcano in Nicaragua; Death Valley in Chile; deserts in the United Arab Emirates’ Dubai; dunes at Sossusvlei in Namibia; Sandmaster Park in Florence; Oregon, the U.S.; the man-made sand dunes of Hirschau in Germany; and the Great Sand Sea near Siwa, Egypt.

Sand-boarding is a popular game for tourists visiting the coastal tourism town in Binh Thuan Province’s Phan Thiet City, besides kite surfing, wind surfing, and others.

It costs VND20,000 (US$0.92) to hire a plastic board with no time limit, according to Son T. Luong, who took a trip to Mui Ne late last month.
