5/ Go Co Village
The village is perched on a low hill slope overlooking the sea. The low hills in the rear relatively separate the village from the mainstream world. There are houses under the canopy of coconut forest. It is here that vestiges of the Sa Huynh Culture, which thrived in Vietnam 2,000 years ago, are preserved. It is here that the Cham continued the heritage of the Sa Huynh Culture which lasted for several centuries.
In the front, there is a stretch of sandy beach which is a real paradise for escape holidays.
The Go Co Village is adjacent the Sa Huynh Beach to the south.
