Four poles are: North Pole, South Pole, East Pole, and West Pole. One peak is: Fansipan peak of Hoang Lien Son mountain range, border with the two provinces of Lao Cai and Lai Chau. One T- junction is Indochina T- junction (near the border gate Bo Y, Ngoc Hoi district, Kon Tum province).
Particularly on the East Pole, this is a subject of much argument between the territory Mui Doi of Hon Gom peninsula, Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province and Mui Dien (Dai Lanh lighthouse) located in Phuoc Tan hamlet, Hoa Tam commune, Dong Hoa district, Phu Yen province.
So far there is no formal written record the easternmost point. However, follow the Geography textbook 12th class – the 3rd reprint in 2011 of the Education Publishing House marked "East Pole at Van Thanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province". At website: http://www.khanhhoa.gov.vn of Khanh Hoa province recorded "On the East borders the East Sea, the easternmost point: 109027'55’’ east longitude; at Hon Doi on Hon Gom peninsula, Van Ninh district is also the easternmost point on the mainland of The Socialist Republic of Vietnam”. Meanwhile, Phu Yen province builds stone stele at Mui Dien recorded "the easternmost point is the place to catch the first sunrise on the mainland of Vietnam, longitude 109°27'06 '' East, latitude 12°52'48" North”. Thus, in terms of geographical location, Mui Doi is the easternmost point on the mainland. And this is also the reason the youth who love backpacking tourism wish to discover East Pole of Mui Doi.

There are many ways to reach the East Pole, first you have to come to Nha Trang, from Nha Trang you can rent motorbikes and car to reach Dam Mon or Son Dung hamlet depend on the way to the East Pole.
The smoothest way to the East Pole is from Dam Mon or Son Dung rent return boat with the price of 3 to 4 million Dong, depending on the number of travellers.

The second way is from Dam Mon, you start walking to the East Pole by trail; walk in the jungle, over sand hill about 12km. If no person in the team goes this route, you can ask a local guide. Previously only two local guides to East poles were Mr Chau and Mr. Thanh, now some local guides who came to East Pole several times lead the team with the cost from 300,000 to 500,000 Dong/trip.
The third way called mortification, this way only for those who have really good health, endurance, high will, certain equipped about health, knowledge of first aid. It is from Son Dung, passing many dunes about 6km arrive to Na beach. At Na beach, there is a guardroom of Khanh Hoa Sanlanganes Nest Co., Ltd. Here, you can get fresh water to prepare really hard road ahead. From Na beach to the East Pole there is almost no trail, just the only way is to go along the cliffs. The rock here is huge, piling up; lumpy so travellers must combine skills like climbing, crawling, creep and jump ... The author has had the opportunity to join a team to go this road in 2012. From Na beach at 6 am to 5 pm, the team arrived to the East pole.
