Things to do in An Hoa Sheep Field

Watch the Free-Roaming Sheep

As one of the largest natural sheep-grazing areas in Khanh Hoa, each farm here has around 100–200 sheep. Today, An Hoa is recognized as the largest free-grazing sheep field in Vietnam, making it a must-visit destination in Khanh Hoa for anyone looking to capture some truly unique check-in photos.

Because the sheep are free-roaming, they can be quite shy. It’s best to approach them slowly and carefully to avoid startling the herd. If you have difficulties taking photos, you can always ask for help from local herders or villagers.

Taking some art check-in photos

When visiting, remember to ask permission from the herders if you’d like to take photos with their flocks. You can also request some “la nem” leaves – the sheep’s favorite food. Feeding them while taking photos will give you the chance to capture even more authentic and memorable moments.
