BTO – Over the past nearly 20
years, Binh Thuan tourism still lacks unique tourism products to cater tourists.
Fortunately, the debut of Rang Dong Wine Castle amidst the 5-star Sea Link
complex made Binh Thuan tourism sector become more and more valuable. That is

Phuong, a Phan Thiet tourist:
This is the first time I visit Rang Dong wine castle. It is a half-ancient,
half-modern castle. It creates a new and unique feature to Phan Thiet tourism.
In my opinion, the product of the castle is the wine- storage room. I found the
storage room modern. It should be promoted to all over the country and the
world.

Trang - a tourist from Ho Chi Minh city:
It looks so beautiful at first. The
temperature in the wine-storage is cold. I learned many things about wine such
as recipe for making wine and tasting a variety of wines. The scenery here is
very beautiful. I found the wine cellars here more imposing than wine cellars in
Ba Na, Da Nang. It is a good place to capture souvenir pictures.

The castle is big and beautiful from
the outside look. The storage condition is so good that everybody admires in
surprise. What a beautiful castle it is. There is no word to describe it.
Actually, I traveled quite much, but I really surprised when stepping into the
castle. It was unexpected. I think the castle will somewhat contributing to
attracting growing visitors to Binh Thuan in general and Phan Thiet in
particular.
