The appealing city of Nha Trang offers a selection of captivating attractions such as Dam Market, Thap Po Nagar, Tran Phu Beach, Long Son Pagoda and Ba Ho Waterfall; here's more on these sites worth adding to your itinerary.
An interesting attraction in Nha Trang would be Dam Market, which is open from the time of dawn up to the hour of sunset. You will find that this bustling market is a mesmerising blend of tempting food stalls, busy small shops, frenetic vendors and lively action. Visitors will encounter a splendid selection of goods on offer, like beach wraps, mangosteens, star apples, dried squid, leather belts and a host of oddball items such as pickled snakes too! After your shopping, you may enjoy affordably priced noodle soups, seafood or baguettes here.
The structures at this important historical site were constructed by the Cham rulers who controlled extensive areas in southern and central Vietnam centuries ago. The ruins at Thap Po Nagar may be regarded as being amongst the few remnants of their rule to be found today. At this site, you will encounter four massive temples made of red brick as well as a figure of the female deity Yan Po Nagar. You will find that this site is a tranquil place where you can enjoy a leisurely break from your sightseeing activities.
You will find that this is Nha Trang's principal beach, consisting of an attractive crescent of pleasant white sands. This beach which extends for 6 km will attract the interest of visitors who seek a seashore location that is also in proximity to exciting nightlife and restaurants. You could also engage in a variety of water sports ranging from snorkelling to surfing and jet-skiing at this beach. An accommodation choice to consider that is ideally placed beside this beach would be Citadines Bayfront Nha Trang which offers conveniently located serviced apartments in Nha Trang.
Another noteworthy sightseeing attraction in Nha Trang would be the interesting Long Son Pagoda. You will see that this Buddhist place of worship features several pagodas with dragon-like roofs. A highlight here would be the massive image of Buddha in the seated position. This temple was initially built in the latter part of the 19th century, after which it was demolished in 1900 by a hurricane and rebuilt in the 1940s.
Nature lovers will be entranced by the Ba Ho Waterfall which may be found in the wooded hills located behind the city of Nha Trang. You will see that this natural attraction features several rapids that descend over large rocks into shimmering pools that are of adequate size for a pleasant swim. You will find that the waters here are strong towards the conclusion of the rainy period but diminish to a mere trickle in summer.
Adventure-seekers must undertake a somewhat lengthy drive to reach the summit of Hon Ba Mountain yet will find that the stunning views on offer will make the exertion worthwhile. The finest views are to be experienced at the hour of dawn, at which time the morning clouds lift away and it is possible to see for many miles into the far distance.
