Phan Thiết: Teaching Ho Chi Minh & The Secret Birthplace of Fish Sauce! 🇻🇳

The real soul of the Bình Thuận province! 🇻🇳 ​🏍️ In Episode 11 of Season 9, we dive into the "Region of Amazement"—Phan Thiết—a city whose history predates the Vietnamese occupation of 1693. Discover the Dục Thanh School, where a young Nguyễn Tất Thành (Ho Chi Minh) taught in 1910 before his journey to France. Learn the 300-year-old craft of Phan Thiết fish sauce, climb the 100-year-old granite tower of the Kê Gà Lighthouse, and explore the 8th-century Tháp Po Sah Inư Cham towers. We also clear up the 30-year-old confusion between Ham Tien and Mũi Né that started during the 1995 solar eclipse. From the massive reclining Buddha at Tà Cú Peak to the colorful fishing fleets on the Cà Ty River, this is a journey through the "Birthplace of Flavor" in Southern Vietnam. 📍 Video Timeline: 0:00 - Welcome to Phan Thiết: The City of Scholars and Seafood 1:00 - Fish Sauce: A 300-year-old tradition commercialized in 1693 2:10 - Dục Thanh School: Where teacher Nguyễn Tất Thành (Ho Chi Minh) taught in 1910 2:50 - The Solar Eclipse: How October 24, 1995, changed the region forever 4:05 - Nomenclature: The ongoing confusion between Ham Tien and Mũi Né 5:52 - Cà Ty River: Watching the colorful fishing fleets on the Tran Hung Dao bridge 8:52 - Osaka Boutique: Finding top-tier value and bright rooms in the city 10:10 - Kê Gà Lighthouse: Climbing the 1897 granite tower, the oldest in Vietnam 13:54 - Po Sah Inư: Exploring the 8th-century Cham Towers of Phu Hai 14:27 - Kite Surfing: Why Phan Thiết is a world-class wind destination 16:26 - Tà Cú Peak: The 695m climb to one of SE Asia’s largest reclining Buddhas 19:01 - Teaser: The Grand Finale ride back to Ho Chi Minh City in Episode 12!
