About Nha Trang

Nha Trang the vibrant capital of Khánh Hòa Province on Vietnam’s South Central Coast, is celebrated for its pristine sandy beaches and world-class scuba diving, attracting travelers ranging from backpackers to luxury seekers. Its crescent-shaped bay, frequently ranked among the world’s most breathtaking, lures both international and domestic tourists. Beyond the coastline, visitors can explore amusement parks, rejuvenating mud baths, golf courses, and the historic Po Ngar temple complex, alongside a diverse array of hotels and restaurants. Culinary adventurers can savor local specialties like bun cha ca—a flavorful soup made with sailfish and jellyfish—while the region’s fresh seafood, noodles, and pancakes appeal to broader tastes. Today, Nha Trang also serves as a hub for marine science, housing the Nha Trang Oceanography Institute and the IUCN-recognized Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, one of the world’s earliest marine reserves.
