Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa at a glance:
|
|
Nha Trang city, the provincial capital of Khanh Hoa, is 1,278 kilometers south of Hanoi. It lies on the National Highway 1. Surrounded by step, dark green hills, the city hugs a long curve of yellow beach and a bay as blue as a fancy cocktail. Everywhere you look there are splashes of colour: yellow colonial mansions, red flame trees, the whirling hues of the Ferris wheel and the children's amusement park, vendors selling balloons and beach toys, beach umbrellas in bold, primary colours... |

Life in this southern city revolves around the beach. You can roll out of bed, stroll to the sea, take your place at a waterfront cafe and watch the world go by. Or you can snooze under an umbrella on the sand, waking up to enjoy a swim or a massage. But don't confine yourself to the town's central beach. Take a boat trip to spend the day cruising through these islands, stopping to explore hidden coves where you can swim and snorkel in crystal clear water.
Nha Trang Bay has been recognized as one of 29 most beautiful bays in the word since 7/2003.
