Bau Trang is located in Hoa Thang commune, Bac Binh district, Binh Thuan province, about 60km northeast of Phan Thiet city center. Bau Trang has a unique terrain unlike any other place in Vietnam, which is a combination of a large freshwater lake with huge surrounding sand dunes, likened to Vietnam's "mini Sahara Desert". This destination has recently become more well-known after being chosen as the setting for some movies.
