Nha Trang is one of the main resorts in Vietnam, which has turned from a fishing village into a popular city among tourists. It attracts people from all over the world with its clean sea and unique nature. The first to appreciate all the delights of this Vietnamese city were high-ranking officials during the French colonial rule.
The weather in Nha Trang is conducive to year-round recreation, and nature is famous for its extraordinary beauty: soft sand of beaches, turquoise sea surface, extraordinary mountain landscapes and an incredible variety of tropical plants. It is no wonder why Nha Trang is consistently ranked among the most beautiful places on earth.
People come to Nha Trang not only because of nature. This city is interesting not only as a resort, but also as a treasury of cultural and historical monuments. Once the capital of the Champa Kingdom was located here, as evidenced by the structures of that era, including the Po Nagar towers, located on a granite hill and surrounded by water on all sides.
Another interesting must-see monument is the Long Son Pagoda. It was built in 1886 and is the largest in Nha Trang. Initially, the pagoda was located on the top of Mount Chaithu, but due to a devastating storm that partially damaged it, the pagoda had to be moved to the foot of the mountain. Not far from the pagoda is a statue of Buddha. Its height is 21 meters, and to get to it along the hill, you will have to overcome 193 stone steps.
The Catholic cathedral, built in the Gothic style, testifies to the times of the French colonial period. It is decorated with stained glass windows, chimes and a bell tower and is stylized as the Middle Ages.
Entertainment in Nha Trang is available for every taste and age. Beach holidays at this resort are simply gorgeous, and pleasant additions to it are water activities, the opportunity to climb up in a hot air balloon or take a ride on a towed parachute. Diving enthusiasts will be delighted with the beautiful corals and wrecks.
