An enormous sea creature, stretching nearly eight meters in length and weighing around two tonnes.
Witnesses recount the blue whale’s hunting expedition, an awe-inspiring event that occurred perilously close to the shore.
The Bryde’s whale, a majestic creature named after Johan Bryde, earns its place among the “great whales,” alongside the blue whale and humpback whale. Bryde, a Norwegian-descendant and owner of a South African shipping company, established the first whaling stations in South Africa during the early 20th century.
The Bryde’s whale is a protected endangered marine species in Vietnam, where fishing or causing them harm is strictly prohibited.
The blue whale’s appearance near Mui Ganh-Hoai Hai beach is a rare and fortunate event, with local fishermen considering it a harbinger of good luck.
In August 2022, a mother and calf pair of Bryde’s whales were spotted off De Gi shore, 50km north of Quy Nhon city in Binh Dinh province, creating a beautiful and memorable spectacle.
Mui Ganh-Hoai Hai beach, located approximately 100 kilometers from the coastal city of Quy Nhon, recently witnessed a remarkable event as whales were seen swimming in its blue waters for the first time.
A breathtaking capture of the whale’s graceful movement, leaving a trail of sparkling foam in its wake.

In his memory, old Zuong Noonh from Pa Rong village, Ta Bhing commune, Nam Giang district 10 years ago was poor. However, everything has changed since the Japanese Foundation for International Development/Relief (FIDR) came to help the Co Tu restore their traditional brocade weaving. It also provided support to the local people by developing community-based tourism under a project funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). About 10 years ago, only eight women in Ta Bhing Commune knew how to weave brocade. Then, a traditional brocade weaving cooperative was set up with 40 members.
