The Phu Yen private tour is an integral part of SJourney’s full-package, 8-day luxury train journey through Vietnam’s must-visit destinations. This multi-destination approach allows travelers to explore diverse regions while maintaining a consistent standard of comfort, service, and storytelling.

Phu Yen Private Tour – Where Coast and Culture Meet
Morning: Echoes of Faith and Handcrafted Traditions
After a peaceful breakfast aboard the train, the day begins in the quiet heart of Phu Yen – a province where simplicity, tradition, and natural beauty coexist harmoniously.
Mang Lang Church – A Timeless Gothic Landmark
The first stop is Mang Lang Church, a remarkable example of Gothic architecture that has stood for over a century. With its weathered stone façade, soaring arches, and tranquil surroundings, the church tells a silent story of faith, resilience, and cultural exchange between East and West.
In the soft morning light, the atmosphere is calm and reflective. Standing beneath its ancient walls, visitors can sense the layers of history that have shaped this coastal land.

Phu Tan Mat Weaving Village – Living Craft Traditions
From sacred architecture, the journey continues to Phu Tan Mat Weaving Village, where generations of artisans have preserved the traditional craft of weaving mats from rush grass.
As you wander through the village, you witness skilled hands transforming simple natural materials into vibrant, functional works of art. The scent of sun-dried grass fills the air, and the rhythmic sound of looms becomes a quiet soundtrack of rural life.

Midday: Celebrating the Sea’s Bounty
As midday approaches, the journey returns to the coast for a culinary experience deeply rooted in Phu Yen’s maritime heritage. Lunch is served at a local restaurant, where dishes are crafted using the freshest ingredients sourced from nearby waters. The flavors are honest and refined, reflecting the region’s respect for nature and tradition. Each bite speaks of the sea, the salt air, and the quiet pride of the fishermen who sustain this coastal way of life.
Afternoon: Gentle Return to the Rails
Following lunch, the afternoon invites guests back to the comfort of the train. Settle into your private cabin, unwind with a book, or simply gaze through wide windows as Phu Yen’s countryside slowly drifts away; rolling fields, distant hills, and narrow village roads weaving a final portrait of the land.
At 4:00 PM, the train departs Phu Yen, continuing its southbound journey toward Binh Thuan. The soft hum of the rails and the warm glow of late afternoon create an atmosphere perfect for rest and quiet reflection.
Evening: Dining Under a Canopy of Stars
As dusk turns to night, the dining car becomes the heart of the train. A carefully curated dinner is served in an elegant yet relaxed setting, echoing the gentle character of Phu Yen itself.
Inside, conversations flow softly, glasses clink, and new connections form. Outside, the landscape fades into darkness, replaced by the rhythmic movement of the train under a star-filled sky.
