These days, Nam O Reef in Lien Chieu District, Da Nang City, seems to be adorned with new clothes of stunning green hue of moss.
The moss grows abundantly, resembling a lush green velvet carpet spread over the rocks, drawing in thousands of tourists for sightseeing and photo opportunities.
Situated around 17km Northwest of the city center, Nam O Reef, also referred to as Nam O Rocky Shore in Nam O fishing village in Lien Chieu District, Da Nang City, is a popular destination eagerly sought after by many young people.
Especially during the moss season, this place is seen as an ideal destination for those who cherish the beauty of untouched nature.
These days, Nam O Reef appears to be draped in a velvet fabric, courtesy of the lush green moss carpeting the underwater rocks.
As the tide ebbs away, the lush green moss layers gradually reveal themselves alongside the ocean waves, painting a picture of raw natural beauty.
Each year, the moss typically emerges in February and March, presenting a prime opportunity for locals and tourists to come and admire the scenery and snap photos.
The layers of lush green moss look mesmerizing in the morning sunlight.
Seizing the opportunity as the tide recedes, locals and tourists flock to Nam O Reef for photo opportunities, capturing the stunning natural landscape.
According to residents, the most picturesque moment for photography is at sunrise, when the gentle morning sunlight illuminates the green moss, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Moreover, locals and tourists can also visit the rocky shore in the afternoon as the sunset begins. However, there will be less green moss due to the rising tide during this time.
Young people enjoy taking photos and capturing beautiful moments in nature.
"I adore the raw beauty of Nam O Rocky Shore as it brings about a serene ambiance. Particularly during the green moss season, it is exceptionally stunning and ideal for everyone to enjoy and capture beautiful photos for themselves," shared Nguyen Thi Da Quynh from Da Nang City.
Many people confidently pose photos next to the moss-covered rocks.

With its natural beauty, Nam O Reef promises to be an appealing and unique destination for tourism in Da Nang.
The Da Nang City People's Committee recently approved the detailed planning project for the Nam O Reef Ecological Park and the Southern Square of Nam O Reef. Once completed, these facilities will be managed by Government agencies and open to the public free of charge for recreational use.
