Nha Trang

Nha Trang is a tranquil coastal town, with its palm‐lined sandy beaches and clear waters. Nha Trang’s prime activities are discovery of its green islands, snorkeling and diving, or just relaxing on the beach is an experience in itself.

Nha Trang, offers a six-kilometre stretch of beautiful coastline with white sandy beaches, clear waters with an abundance of marine life and thriving reefs, verdant mountain ranges at each end, as well as islets that are just a short boat ride away. Offering a myriad of sightseeing and recreational activities, the coastal town itself is steeped with breath-taking structures that date back to the Champa Kingdom, Buddhist temples, and gothic-style Catholic churches, as well as natural hot springs, salt fields, and unique waterfalls.

Po Nagar Cham Towers: four brick towers were built by the Cham civilization between the 7th and 12th century to honor Yang Ino Po Ngar, mother of the kingdom, and the incense aroma emanating from within makes it clear that this remains a religious site for the local Buddhists of Nha Trang today. The longevity of these last vestiges of a once-dominant South East Asian civilisation should impress temple enthusiasts.

Long Son Pagoda: you will see a 79 ft. tall white Buddha established in 1963 to honour the monks and nuns who died demonstrating against the Diem government.

Vinpearl: from the Nha Trang harbour you can take the cable car over to the island where Vinpearl resort and Vinpearl land is located. They have a small tivoli and some restaurants, attractions here include Underwater World (aquarium), Water Park complete with many exciting water slides and wave pool, Amusement Park with roller coaster, pirate ship, bumper cars, 4D cinema and many modern arcade machines and musical fountain and laser show at night time.

Nha Trang Cathedral: located a few minutes away from the train station, the cathedral shows the influence of French Catholicism. It’s a Quaint, free and quick sight to see. The Nha Trang area still has a strong Catholic population.
