Encircled by an imposing and beautiful landscape, Nha Trang lies half way between Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. Its palm-fringed white sandy beaches stretch for more than 7 km. Nha Trang has what is probably the nicest municipal beach in all of Vietnam. The turquoise water around Nha Trang is transparent, making for excellent fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving. People come for the water, the seafood, and the boat trips to nearby islands. By chartering a fishing boat you can swim and snorkel, dine on seafood aboard the boat, visit a beach and fishing village. With the opening of famous hotel and resort, Nha Trang one time was the heart land of the Champa Kingdom. On the North side of Nha Trang is the best preserved Cham tower in central Vietnam.
On the other side of the city, Long Son Pagoda can be reached by climbing; asleep river and town are breathtaking. Nha Trang is also renowned for its delicious seafood including abalone, lobster, prawns, and scallops. If you like typical beach resort town, then Nha Trang is for you.
