I just had the opportunity to stay in Quang Ngai on a 2-month business trip and these are the images I captured during my journey to explore a Quang Ngai that is almost unknown on the Vietnam tourism map (except for Ly Son island).

During the months of wandering in Quang Ngai, I had the opportunity to visit completely pristine beaches such as Chau Tan beach with its smooth white sand and clear, calm coastline like a lake; or set foot on Ba Lang An Lighthouse built in 1982, which has a view of an ancient volcano that has been inactive for thousands of years, and also moments of silence before the majesty of VioLak pass - the pass connecting Quang Ngai and Gia Lai with the scene of a sea of ​​clouds embracing the mountains and endless green forests surrounding the winding small road, and many other places that I have not had the opportunity to set foot on such as An Khe lagoon, Sa Huynh cultural area, etc.

Standing before the scene of untouched natural beauty, I felt all my worries disappear. There, there was only the sound of the waves, the wind, the chirping of the local people, and an indescribable sense of freedom. That feeling seemed to awaken the deepest emotions in me. During my days in Quang Ngai, amidst that pristine nature, I realized that there are timeless values ​​that nothing can replace – a wordless connection between people and the earth and sky.
