The
city of Nha Trang is becoming more popular with the tourists in recent years.
Yet, with a population of 300,000, Nha Trang still retains its small town
atmosphere. This resort town is well known for its miles of beach and the
friendliness of its people. The city is flanked by nearly ten kilometers of
prime beach where the water is warm year round. The average temperature in Nha
Trang is 26 C. Nha Trang also has the lowest level of humidity in all of
Vietnam. Today, Nha Trang ranks among the top of all
beaches in Vietnam. Nha
Trang is 1,287 km south of Hanoi, 624 km south of
Hue and 442 km from
Ho Chi
Minh city (Saigon). Nha Trang has several famous islands. Most notable are Hon
Tre, Hon Yen, Hon Rua and the Spratly islands.

Po Nagar Cham Towers |
|
You are bound to hear about the Cham while in Vietnam. They are an ancient civilization that had its influences mainly in Southeast Asia, particularly in Vietnam and Cambodia. Their domain was called Champa, and their architecture and art style is unmistakable. Though we did not see My Son, it is reported that the finest examples of their architecture is to be found there. The Cham were influenced by the Khmer, who, in turn, were influenced by India’s Buddhism, so that one can easily make the connection between Angkor Wat and the buildings found in My Son and Nha Trang. The Cham ruled Vietnam for 10 centuries. |

Not to do any evil. To perform what is good. To keep one’s own heart pure. These are the teachings of lord Buddha. |
The Beach at Nha Trang |
|
Most people stop at Nha Trang for its beach. However, we learned that for the finer beach experience and sojourn, one should stay in the resort town of Mui Ne (the beach in nearby Phan Thiet is deemed excellent). The water rivals the popular resorts of Thailand’s Phuket or Bali’s Kuta Beach; the sand is quite clean and soft and welcomes everyone. If you’ve come to spend the day, you can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas from any of the resorts that border on the water’s edge. Otherwise, you will encounter the popular palapas that are always found in beach resorts. Another permanent fixture of the beach is the vendors that make their living selling their wares. |
Nha Trang Cathedral |
|
Approximately 10% of the population of Vietnam, or about 8 million people, are Christian. The religion came to Vietnam around the 16th century through the missionary works of evangelist European countries. The man responsible for anglicizing the language, Alexandre de Rhodes, facilitated the set-up of permanent missions in major cities |
Cam Ranh Bay |
|
The Bay of Cam Ranh is one of the jewels of Vietnam. The long protective seaward peninsula and natural inner and outer harbors form what many believe to be the best and most beautiful deep water port facility in the entire world. |
Tam island |
|
Tam Island is located in Vinh Nguyen Ward, to the South of Nha Trang Bay, 3 nautical miles from Nha Trang Port, Khanh Hoa Province. Hon Tam is well known by the wild tropical forest, long beach and clear water. Around the rock range, thousands kind of fish and colorful corals make tourists exciting and peaceful.
