[In Pictures] Nui Chua Rock Park: A million-year-old outdoor museum of landforms on the Khanh Hoa coast

Nestled within the boundaries of Nui Chua National Park, Nui Chua Rock Park is one of the most pristine and majestic destinations in former Ninh Thuan Province.

Nui Chua Rock Park is situated roughly 30km north of central former Phan Rang–Thap Cham City.
