The 106m-high mountain is located on the northern bank of the Tra Khuc River, 3-4km northeast of Quang Ngai City. The name comes from the unique shape of the mountain which looks like a huge seal on a flat terrain with sweeping views of the surrounding.

The mountain top is a flat area with a Buddhist pagoda of the same name built in 1694-1695.

5/ Go Co Village

The village is perched on a low hill slope overlooking the sea. The low hills in the rear relatively separate the village from the mainstream world. There are houses under the canopy of coconut forest. It is here that vestiges of the Sa Huynh Culture, which thrived in Vietnam 2,000 years ago, are preserved. It is here that the Cham continued the heritage of the Sa Huynh Culture which lasted for several centuries.

In the front, there is a stretch of sandy beach which is a real paradise for escape holidays.

The Go Co Village is adjacent the Sa Huynh Beach to the south.

6/ Ca Dam (K’Dam) Mountain

The mountain in Tra Bong District is on the elevation of 1,400m above sea level with cool climate all year round. The Ca Dam Mountain has untouched forest with several precious flora species which are great for health: ginseng, tea.... Besides, this is a sacred mountain revered by the local Cor ethnic people.
