A salt-scented breeze from the fishing harbor lifts at dawn as you step into Phan Thiet — boats bob, nets clack, and the road unfurls toward Ta Cu Mountain. The tour threads together temple stone, coastal industry and cultivated fields: first the compact red-brick silhouette of Po Shanu (Poshanu) Cham Tower rising from a low ridge, then the working harbor where fishermen return with silvered piles of sardines and a city that still runs on the rhythm of the sea.
