Nha Trang is endowed by nature with deep, quiet and warm waters all the year round, surrounded by archipelagoes, islands, mountains and white sand beaches - a wonderful and attractive tourist resort.To the north of Nha Trang stands the Chong mount which looks like a wide open hand over the sea. Far offshore, the Yen island appears with lush green colours where salangane nests have been harvested for years to make the traditional "bird's nest" tonic and food.
Along with Hanoi, HCMC and Hoi An, Nha Trang has emerged as a reasonable place to look for art. Though actual galleries are scant, there are several local painters and photographers who display their work on the walls of Nha Trang''''s resorts, restaurants, cafes and bars.
Here is yet another example. Little Italy serves up tasty pastas and salads, and the bruschetta, with good olive oil, fresh tomatoes, capers, and garlic, is to die for. The house wine, available by the glass, isn''t bad, but the pizza is only so-so.
Nha Trang is Vietnam’s most famous seaside resort-town. It's more lively and urban in character than other beach destinations like Mui Ne and Phu Quoc. It's also the scuba diving center of Vietnam.
