Mũi Né

Mũi Né is a coastal fishing town in the south-central Bình Thuan Province of Vietnam. The town, with approximately 25,000 residents, is a ward of the city of Phan Thiết. Mui Ne and the other wards of Phan Thiet stretch along the coast for approximately 50 kilometers and have been transformed into a resort destination since the mid-1990s, when many visited the area to view the solar eclipse of October 24, 1995.

History

edit

During the Republic of Vietnam era, Mũi Né was the district capital of Hải Long district, Bình Thuận province.[2][3] After 1975, Hải Long district merged with Hàm Thuận and Thiện Giáo districts to form Hàm Thuận district, Thuận Hải province.[4] At that time, Mũi Né was part of Hàm Dũng commune, Hàm Thuận district.[2]

On March 13, 1979, the Government Council issued Decision 104-CP[5]. According to this decision, Hàm Dũng commune was dissolved to establish Mũi Né town as the district capital of Hàm Thuận district.[6]

On December 30, 1982, the Council of Ministers issued Decision 204-HĐBT[7][8]. According to this decision, Hàm Thuận district was divided into two new districts: Hàm Thuận Bắc and Hàm Thuận Nam.[9][10][11] At the same time, Mũi Né town was placed under the administration of Phan Thiết town and was renamed Mũi Né ward.

Cuisine

Mui Ne is famous for seafood. Sand dunes are inhabited by the iguana, called Dong in Vietnamese. It is a reptile, quite similar to the lizard, but larger and longer. Local people cook iguana in seven ways: grilled, steamed, fried, roasted, raw, served in porridge, iguana pie, and served alongside vegetables. Therefore, the local people call this the seven dishes from iguana.
