Nha Trang, the famous resort city of Viet nam

hiendt | May 11, 2010 | no comments

Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa Province, is located on the coast of East sea, 50 kilometers north of Cam Ranh bay, Dai Lanh beach, called Cape Varcella during the French occupation, lies 83 kilometers north of Nha Trang and is the eastern most point of Viet Nam mainland.

Nha Trang, in addition to its allure as a site of the ancient Cham culture, has one of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Set against a backdrop of mountains, Nha Trang is located on a five kilometers long crescent-shaped beach of fine, smooth while sand. The beach is sheltered from winds by hills and the temperature never reaches intolerable levels. The port of Cau Da is on the southern tip of the city, the northern border is marked by the Rever Cai.

The romantic ambience of this area is enhanced by the delicate perfume of cinnamon that drifts down from moutain Thien Thai and the incense trees of Van Gia forest. Ornamental plants and coconut trees add to the charm of local house and French – style beach villas. At night, soft lights of fishing boats bob up and down to the rhythm of the gentle tides.
