Nha Trang on the south coast of Vietnam, about an hour's flight from Ho Chi Minh City, still retains much of its quaint fishing village atmosphere. With an average temperature of 26C and warm water the miles of beaches are a real experience...
On the beach you'll be offered everything from a manicure to a grilled seafood lunch cooked in front of you.
Most days between 5 and 8am Nha Trang beach is filled with local people taking in the fresh sea breeze, socializing, playing soccer, badminton or practicing Tai chi. Most people in Nha Trang still walk or use the bicycle as their means of transport, which adds to the tranquility of the town. In the South China Sea, directly off Nha Trang, you'll find 20 small islands well worth a day trip. At Tam Island, 30 minutes from Nha Trang, you can see the basket boats or 'thung chai' which are used by the locals. Rowed standing up, these circular baskets can carry as many as five people. Back in Nha Trang take a look at the Cham Towers of Po Nagar. Build around the 10th Century, no one really knows how these towers were build, but one theory is that the bricks were laid wet then a fire was lit around the outside to bake them in. Just three kilometers away is the Longson Pagoda, colorfully decorated on the outside with ceramic dragons. Inside you'll find the 'The Goddess with 1,000 Heads and 1,000 Eyes'. According to Buddhist belief she's all seeing and all knowing! If you want your own 'all seeing' tour of the city, hitch a ride in a cyclo. Clyclos are the Vietnamese equivalent of the Indian cycle rickshaws, except that the people riding the cyclo are in front of the peddler. Built in the style of an old Vietnamese village and surrounded by lush gardens Ana Mandara Resort is a great place to stay. It also offers classes in traditional Vietnamese cooking OOPS NO HOTEL Powered by HotelGuide v.0.9.8 beta 6
