There are many explanations for the name Doc Let. Many visitors who hear this name for the first time cannot help but be curious about its reason and story. To visit Doc Let, you are required to cross large, high sand slopes to reach the beach. Due to the terrain with those high sand dunes, every time you move, it is as if there is a natural sand wall blocking you, slowing you down. Every step you take, every time the sand sinks deep, it seems to hold your footsteps and make it difficult to take a step. Every time I walk through Doc Let, I feel like I just want to "drag" away because I'm so tired. Although it's hard, you will be rewarded when you cross the sandy slope and reach the beach, where the wind blows gently as if waking up after a sweltering summer sleep. The waves waved to welcome the "miracle" of overcoming the high and steep sand dunes. Currently, most of the natural sand slopes are gradually being flattened to facilitate travel and transportation to serve the expansion of tourism services. You can even see locals riding motorbikes along the beach, because the sand is flat and very rough. Although there are many different ways to explain the name Doc Let, they all originate from the topography and soil properties of these places.

Doc Let Beach is very quiet because it is shielded by a series of surrounding hills, making the sea surface very peaceful and rarely having strong winds. Most of the hills still retain lush green primary forests, creating a feeling of closeness to nature. Doc Let beach stretches about 8 km. Unlike other beaches, Doc Let seabed gradually slopes away from the shore, the water level is not high, up to 100 m away from the shore but the water level is only about chest level. Usually the farther you go on beaches, the deeper the water becomes, but because they are filled with sand, you can still see the "bottom" as you go. Another point, if you bring small children, you can freely let them play on the shallow beach, the reason it is called shallow beach is because the water level is very low, children and people who cannot swim can bathe without worrying about drowning. . The white sand is as smooth as a young woman's skin, gently patted by white ripples. The waves are not too fierce, the water is clear blue but very salty, just take a sip and you'll know right away. The vast, green casuarina forest whispers in the wind as if creating a natural wall of green trees, creating a cool feeling. After swimming, wearing sunglasses and walking barefoot under the casuarina trees, each step placed on the smooth sand brings a gentle feeling as if each acupuncture point is being massaged under the soles of the feet. As far as the eye can see, there is a blue color, catching every ray of sunlight shining through the shady tree canopy, giving you an indescribable feeling of comfort. A beautiful beach with pure white sand, clear blue water, clearly visible white sand grains at the bottom. This place will be an ideal place to help you leave stress and sadness behind and open your soul to receive a wonderful vacation with Doc Let. If you want to see the name "Doc Let" directly, go to the sand dunes to try the feeling of sandboarding from the top down. Believe that this feeling only comes when you go to the sand dunes. My body was covered in sand, sand in my ears, sand in my hair, and even sand in my mouth because of sandboarding. The space here gives you a feeling of freedom and freedom more than ever, basking in the golden sunlight, immersing yourself in the blue sea, your eyes seem to be immersed in a dreamy scene, your mind is full of inspiration, the space Airy, close to nature, all senses are fully open to feel every moment.

The project was directed by the king to be built according to the mausoleum architecture to repay gratitude, so the people call it a mausoleum. Going back in history, from 1775 onwards, Khanh Hoa was a land where disputes frequently occurred between the Tay Son army and the Nguyen Lord army. The book "Dai Nam Thuc Luc" of the National History Office of the Nguyen Dynasty records: Nguyen Anh led troops 5 times to attack Binh Khang district (present-day Khanh Hoa) and in all of those times, Nguyen Anh was defeated by the Tay Son army. scattered and chased everywhere, typically in the naval battle in the Hon Thi area (1784). When fighting with the Tay Son dynasty, Nguyen Anh failed many times and had to pull the remnants of his army to flee. One time when running to My Hiep village, the food was exhausted, he was sick, the soldiers were both hungry and exhausted. …the situation is extremely dangerous. In the dark of night, Nguyen Anh and his entourage knocked on a resident's door to ask for a bowl of rice to ease his stomach. The homeowner (legend is Mrs. Truong Thi Tiem) felt compassion and invited Nguyen Anh and his entourage to the house to rest. After that, she sent her maids to kill the pigs, cook rice for everyone, and provide extra food for the journey. As for Nguyen Anh, in addition to taking good care of his medicine, she also had someone milk the cow for him to drink to quickly restore his health. Thanks to that dedicated care and kind treatment, Nguyen Anh soon recovered, and the generals gradually recovered their health to continue pulling troops to the South. After Nguyen Anh unified the country, ascended the throne and took the title Gia Long (1802-1819). Remembering the help of people in the past, the king sent someone to My Hiep village to bring the old lady to the capital to take care of her. However, when the messenger arrived, the old woman had passed away. To show his gratitude, King Gia Long posthumously awarded her the title "Nhu Mau" (nanny). At the same time, the king ordered the Ministry of Public Works to send a number of skilled workers who were building the king's palace in the capital at that time to My Hiep to coordinate with local workers to build a mausoleum for the Nanny according to the mausoleum specifications of the King. Royal. The mausoleum was built in two years, from 1802 to 1804 and completed. The inauguration ceremony was held in a grand manner and was directly presided over by the provincial governor. Besides, because she had no descendants to burn incense and worship, the king also granted land to people in the area to cultivate without having to pay taxes to pay for her death anniversary (oral tradition is December 16). Every year, on the anniversary of her death, dignitaries and villagers gather to hold a very solemn death anniversary ceremony, complete with music and rituals like royal mausoleums. Since then, the incense burning and offerings at Ba Vu's mausoleum are still conducted by the Tuan Vu Khanh Hoa mandarin following the two-period Spring and Autumn custom. Today, the Relics Management Board along with the local government and people still organize the death anniversary of Ba Vu on December 16 every year. Lang Ba Vu is a cultural heritage ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as a National Historical - Cultural Monument on February 12, 1999. The relic not only has moral significance "When you drink water, remember its source" but also has great architectural and artistic value, reflecting the talent of artisans under the Nguyen Dynasty more than two centuries ago.
