Although it is sesriously damaged, the church on the coast of Hai Ly commune, Hai Hau district is still one of the favorite destinations of tourists.


In the past, the coast of Xuong Dien in Hai Ly commune, Hai Hau district had many large and small churches.


However, over time, seawater encroached on the coast and damaged these churches. Parishioners moved the church deep into the mainland three times to avoid the “invasion” of the sea.


The damaged church on the coast of Xuong Dien named Trai Tim (Heart) has been abandoned since 1996.


The best time to take photos of the church is around 5am or 6pm.
