  1. Travelog - A travel guide to Vietnam » The Beach at Nha Trang Says:

    […] 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. […]

  2. Travelog - A travel guide to Vietnam » Nha Trang Says:

    […] Nha Trang City is the principal city in the south central Vietnamese province of Khanh Hoa. With less than 48 hours to make an impression, we crammed our day with what we felt were activities different enough from one another. But within each of these, I was already formulating in my head other activities that could be enjoyed. The train ride is definitely worth it, as you will pass Da Nang, and its historical significance cannot be ignored. However, stay awake for the Hai Van Pass segment of the trip, where the view will bewilder you. […]

  3. Travelog - A travel guide to Vietnam » Po Nagar Cham Towers Says:

    […] 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. […]

    […] Nha Trang is Vietnam’s premier beach resort with a couple of kilometers of relatively pristine white beach and several hotels catering to both local and foreign tourists. For a country with such a long coastline it seems surprising that Nha Trang is the only diving hub along it. There are a couple of local islands off shore that offer some interesting diving possibilities and most dive operators here also run to the more remote loactions. Big animals are hard to find here (apart from the local morays) but the abundance of marine life makes fascinating diving. Nha Trang is more renowned for its vibrant nudibranchs and extensive coral biodiversity, over 350 species of coral can be found here. […]
