SOUTHEAST ASIA: Nha Trang


Overview
 
Nha Trang is a wonderful vacation spot that often gets overlooked by prospective tourists. Many visitors to the area spend their time in Saigon and the greater Ho Chi Minh area, but Nha Trang is a quieter and at times more interesting location. The nightlife is much more subdued than the other regions in Vietnam, but this is often a good thing. The restaurants serve up some of the most delicious cuisine in the country, and the prices are always reasonable. The scenery is beautiful, and there are a number of historical sights that remain amazing works of architecture even though they are centuries old. Nha Trang is an ancient city, giving it an authentic and nostalgic feel that you will certainly appreciate. The Po Ngar Cham Towers are tremendous, and the beaches and outdoor activities along the coastline of the city are fabulous. Diving is enormously popular in Nha Trang, and Hon Mieu is an island that is a short boat trip from the port.

A small town that is filled with culture, Nha Trang is home to around 200,000 inhabitants. The surfing and beach life here make it a very desirable location, and often times visitors never want to leave. The most active area of Nha Trang is Tran Phu Street, where you can find the majority of the best restaurants and activities. As expected, the best towers and architectural highlights are off the beaten path a bit. The Po Ngar Temple is the best site in Nha Trang, and it really gives you a glimpse into the history and heritage of this ancient city. The locals are friendly and helpful, and if you are a young, single male and the ladies seem overly friendly there is a reason for this. I think you know the reason, so I will not explore it in depth, but allow me to say that you do not want to go off with one of these tempting vixens. Leave Nha Trang with an abundance of great experiences, but you certainly do not want to leave with a newly acquired disease. So steer clear of picking up the barflies, sailor. There is plenty else to do in Nha Trang that will ensure you have a remarkably enjoyable time.
