Nha Trang Overview

Nha Trang beach city is well known for its pristine beaches and excellent scuba diving and is fast becoming a popular destination for international tourists, attracting large numbers of backpackers as well as more affluent travelers on the Southeast Asia circuit. It is already very popular with Vietnamese tourists. Nha Trang Bay is widely considered amongst the world’s most beautiful bays. Tourists are welcome to participate in the Sea Festival, held biennially. Nha Trang was the site of the Miss Universe 2008 Pageant on July 14, 2008, and it will also host Miss World 2010.

Khanh Hoa is a South Central Coastal province of Vietnam. It is well known by the attractive beauty of its own capital – Nha Trang. Among its 3 bays, Nha Trang ranks first thanks to 100% pristine beaches, excellent view, gorgeous islands, mountains, and rivers.

Nha Trang not only gets great natural advantages of its geography position, landscape, and climate, but inherits its rich background in culture and humanities as well. Although it is 1,280 km far away from Hanoi and 448 km from Ho Chi Minh city, it is easily accessible for tourists by all means of transport: by road, rail, air and waterway.

Nha Trang is one of the most important tourist hubs of Vietnam, thanks to its beautiful beaches with fine and clean sand and the clear ocean water with mild temperatures all year round. There are several resorts—such as Nha Trang Vinpearl Land Resort, Diamond Bay and Ana Mandara—and amusement and water parks, both in the city and on islands off the coast. The possibly most beautiful street of Nha Trang is Tran Phu Street along the seaside, sometimes referred to as the Pacific Coast Highway of Vietnam.

How to get to Nha Trang

By plane

Nha Trang is serviced by Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR), 30 kilometres south of the city. It takes 50 minutes to reach the city from the airport along a good scenic coastal road. There are daily flights to major cities in Vietnam, as well as international and charter flights. CXR is a small airport, and it’s now overwhelmed by the number of passengers coming through. As of August 2015, there was only one Vietinbank ATM. There are a few cafes serving pho, coffee and sandwiches, money exchange and service desks for Vietjet, Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific.

Nha Trang’s train station is located on Thai Nguyen, Phuoc Tan district, east of Long Son Pagoda. Book ahead, especially for sleepers on weekend trains.

You can also buy tickets through Vietnam Railways’ official website or a string of agency websites (some who claim to be the official website).

10. The Islands of Nha Trang

10.1. Mun Island (Hòn Mun)

This is considered as the most romantic, poetic island in the system of islands in Nha Trang Bay. This island is located in the southeast of the city, about 12 km from the seashore, and takes approximately 50 minutes to travel by boat. Mun Island is blessed by the Mother Nature for a diverse marine ecosystem along with magnificent coral reefs. That is due to its location adjacent to the hot sea-currents from equator, which is suitable for the developing conditions of corals as well as different kinds of tropical sea creatures. It was estimated that Mun Island has up to 1500 types of corals and marine animals, 340 species of hard coral… The Wildlife Fund has assessed that this is home to the most diverse biological resources in Vietnam.

10.2. Mot Island (Hòn Một)

This is the smallest island in the bay of Nha trang yet it has a simple but strangely fascinated beauty. Not having flashy beauty like other islands, Mot Island has casual and approachable feature. Here, there are just few inhabitants living and the main earning methods are fishing and aquaculture, in addition to some coconut gardens, mango gardens.

10.3. Tam Island (Hòn Tằm)

Considered as one of the most beautiful islands in the island system of Nha Trang Bay, Tam Island is located about 7km to the east of Nha Trang City; it takes about 7 minutes to travel by speedboat or 25 minutes by ship. The reason behind the name “Hòn Tằm” is that, at the ancient times, this island is shaped like a green worm located in the middle of the sea, head back the East. Tam Island has not only the beauty of an island but also the lush tropical forest which is the shelter for thousands of sea birds. Visitors can freely stroll around the seaside, relax or discover green forests with biodiversity. Around the rock ranges, thousands type of fish along with colorful corals make travelers peaceful and exciting.

10.4. Mieu Island (Hòn Miễu)

This is the most inshore among islands in Nha Trang Bay. If you want to have a quick trip to visit islands, then Mieu Island may be the most suitable option. Visit this island, apart from contemplating the pristine beauty, freely immerse yourself in the sea space, you can also visit Tri Nguyen (Trí Nguyên) aquarium and Bai Soi (Bãi sỏi) beach. There are hundreds of rare and beautiful sea creatures in the aquarium, creating a living museum of the sea. 

10.5. Bamboo Island (Hòn Tre)

This is the island having the largest area in Nha Trang Bay, about 5km to the east from Nha Trang City and 3.5 km from Cầu Đá Port. It is the epicenter of tourists because it is a popular entertainment complex with Vinpearl land- the famous entertainment complex containing a lot of convenient, modern buildings meeting the recreational needs of travelers. Along with a temperature climate, this is an ideal place for convalescence. Bamboo Island contains 2 main zones:

• Vung Me (Vũng Me) – Bai Tru (Bãi Trũ) – Dam Gia (Đầm Già) – Bai Ran(Bãi Rạn) zone
• Dam Bay (Đầm Bấy) zone

10.6. Monkey Island (Đảo Khỉ)

This is a famously known island nearby Nha Trang Bay. It is about 10 km from the heart of the city of Nha Trang, and could be visited in different ways. If you have limited time, then opting for an all-day boat trip to Island is not a bad idea, yet if you want to have more time for relaxing there, you could easily do it by yourself. Dao khi is a private one about 2 kilometers off the coast. It is a rather large island with about 1,500 monkeys living there.

10.7. Salanganes Island (Đảo Yến)

Visiting the Salangane Island, tourists will be able to witness the birds nesting in the cliffs. The island, also known as Hon Noi – Hon Ngoai (Hòn Nội – Hòn Ngoại), is the place where salanganes concentrate a lot. Hon Noi and Hon Ngoai is two of many islands that have the highest concentration of salanganes nest in the system of islands in Nha Trang.

Where to eat in Nha Trang

Nem Nuong (grilled sausage)

Nem nuong is a specialty of Khanh Hoa Province (where Nha Trang City is located). It is the name of the main element of the dish – grilled pork sausage. Beside Nha Trang, nem nuongof Ninh Hoa (a district in Khanh Hoa province) is also popular and you will recognize that some nem nuong restaurants located in Nha Trang are from Ninh Hoa.

Goi Ca Mai (deep herring salad)

Nha Trang citizens often treat their guests to goi ca mai to show their hospitality because it requires lots of time and effort to prepare. Deep herring (ca mai in Vietnamese) is the size of a thumb, flat, has no scales, and it’s less smelly than much other fish out there. This kind of fish is only used to make the salad.

Deep herrings should be really fresh, just plucked from the sea. The most time-consuming part of the process is ripping the bone out. After that, the chef will mix the fish with lime water, tamarind, sour star fruit, or vinegar. Then continue to mix in ground roasted soybeans, chopped onions, chopped garlic, cilantro, and perilla. Once again, the dipping sauce, which is usually made from the fishbone broth, will determine the deliciousness of the dish. Don’t worry, I have picked restaurants for both tasty salad and dipping sauce.

Bun Cha Ca (grilled fish rice noodles)

Mother Nature gifted Nha Trang with both beautiful scenery and a sea plentiful with seafood; thus, Nha Trang citizens have invented many wonderful dishes made with products from fishing. One of those is cha ca – grilled fish. To make it simple, cha ca is minced fish marinated with flavors, then shaped into balls or flat circles and grilled.

Bun cha ca is simply noodles with cha ca soup. Locals make the soup of cha ca, adding pineapple and tomato to create the sweet and sour taste. Finally, the noodles are put into the soup and we have a bowl of tasty bun cha ca.

Banh Canh Cha Ca (Vietnamese udon with grilled fish)

When I was a kid, my grandma sold banh canh cha ca for breakfast at her house, so this is my most favorite food. Banh canh cha ca in Nha Trang tastes so different compared to other places in Vietnam because it reminds me of my childhood here with my grandma. This dish is a bit different from bun cha ca (mentioned above), though they both have cha ca. The sweetness of the soup of banh canh cha ca is completely made from fish broth. Banh canh is also different from bun (noodles); it’s very similar to udon noodles of Japan which are thicker and easier to eat than noodles.

Bun Sua (jellyfish noodles)

This dish should be called bun cha ca sua instead of bun sua for short. It is made of bun – noodles, cha – cha ca or grilled fish, ca – fish, and sua – jellyfish. The soup is created in the same way it’s prepared in bun cha ca. Now just add jellyfish! The jellyfish used to cook this dish should be as small as a thumb or two fingers, colored milky, and with thick edges. To find this kind of jellyfish, the fishermen have to go really far offshore.

Banh xeo muc Nha Trang (sizzling cake with squids of Nha Trang)

This type of cake was named after the sound it makes during preparation: xeo (pronounced like say-o), the sound when we put rice flour into an oiled pan. Banh xeo is a popular food throughout Vietnam, but banh xeo muc is a specialty of only Nha Trang. Usually, banh xeo is made with pork and shrimp. You wrap it up in rice paper and dip into the dipping sauce. Nha Trang people use muc –  squid instead, and we don’t eat it with rice paper wrappers. We dip banh xeo directly into the sauce using chopsticks.

Banh can Nha Trang

This is a food that I ate almost every day when I lived in Nha Trang because my grandma sold it along with banh canh cha ca. Banh can is a special food of provinces in south-central Vietnam (Khanh Hoa, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan). This food has a small circular shape like banh khot of provinces in southern Vietnam, but banh can is healthier because it doesn’t use oil. It’s a kind of grilled rice flour cooked in a special heater made of earthenware. While banh khot is mixed with pork and shrimp, banh can is a mix with eggs, and this will give banh can a really luring smell.
