Pronounced Twee Hwa, the capital of Phu Yen province is a friendly little place with a nice wide beach with coarse golden sand - a great overnight stop to break up a longer journey. The few sights the town has are all on hill-tops visible from Hwy 1 A. There's a huge Seated Buddha which greets you if you're approaching from the north. To the south of town the Nhan Cham Tower is an impressive sight, particularly when it's illuminated at night. The climb to the tower takes you through a small Botanic Garden and is rewarded by great views. On a side of the same hill a massive white Monument was under construction at the time of research, with sails a little like the Sydney Opera House.
