Overview
Dinh Cau is a small temple built on a rock at the mouth of the Duong Dong River, right by the fishing harbour. Local fishermen come here to pray for safe voyages, and the temple is dedicated to the sea goddess. A small lighthouse also stands on the rock.
The visit is short, usually 20 to 30 minutes, and it is next to the Duong Dong Night Market, so it is easy to combine with an evening meal. Late afternoon is a good time, with softer light.
Highlights
- The temple on the rock
- The fishing harbour
- Views of the river mouth
- The night market next door
