The coastal town of Mui Ne in south-central Vietnam has recently been listed among the best destinations for sand-boarding in the world, local online newspaper Tuoi Tre (Youth) News reported Wednesday.
According to the list titled "World's 10 Best Sand-boarding Destinations," created by the infotainment blog Wonders List, sand- boarding is similar to snowboarding, which involves riding down the slope of a sand dune with both legs strapped to a board.
"The Asian country displays its sand boarding culture in the Mui Ne dunes," Wonders List wrote about Vietnam, mentioning Mui Ne, one of the country's most famous places for sand dunes.
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 20,000 Vietnamese dong (0.9 U.S. dollars) to hire a plastic board with no time limit to play sand-boarding in Mui Ne. Endi
