Tam Giang Dam

Tam Giang Dam is located about 30km from the center of Tuy Hoa city, about 1km from Mang Lang church - one of the famous tourist destinations of Phu Yen, and is a spillway blocking the Cai River. The place where three rivers meet is usually called Tam Giang, but here there is only one river flowing through. Before 1945, when there was no dam, local people had a hard time bringing water to their fields. They had to go to the forests to find the biggest trees to bring back to block the river. But during the rainy season, the floodwaters flow rapidly and these temporary embankment trees are swept away. And in the years that followed, that job kept repeating. After that, the government built a dam about 800m long made of sturdy cement with a three-step design, with 3 water-blocking embankments. Seen from a distance, Tam Giang Dam looks like a waterfall with streams of water flowing down and creating white foam. Although the scale is not as large as the Dong Cam dam, the Tam Giang dam plays a very important role in bringing irrigation water to the vast fields in An Thach, An Ninh and An Dan communes of Tuy An district. Furthermore, this dam also helps a lot by becoming a road connecting the two sides of the river. People can easily walk, ride bicycles or motorbikes across the Cai River without having to take a boat across the river, helping to save time and effort. Thanks to the Tam Giang dam, traveling between the two banks has become more convenient (Photo: Collected) Coming here, you will feel a peaceful space, quietly watch the people in the river countryside and feel like you have let go of all the worries and fatigue of life. Not only can you immerse yourself in the charming nature of the river, when you come here you can also enjoy attractive specialties. Cai River eel is a dish you should not miss. Eel meat is firm, fragrant, skin is crispy, chewy and fatty with high nutritional value. Cai River eel is often processed into dishes such as eel hotpot, grilled eel with lemon leaves, eel cooked with melon, roasted eel with salt and chili,... Tam Giang Dam is not only an important irrigation project of Tuy An district but it is also an attractive tourist destination because of its wild and rustic beauty like the people here.
