Essential Information
destinations » Nha Trang
Nha Trang has a split personality. One takes the form of a smaller Danang
– a bustling Vietnamese city humming with commerce but blessed with
access to a beautiful beach. The other is a Western resort town
encompassing several blocks of hotels, tourist shops, bars and
international restaurants. Entering this sheltered enclave you could be
anywhere in the world, if it weren’t for the constant hassling from xe om drivers, many of whom seem to moonlight as pimps and dealers.
The city is indisputably beautiful, bordered by
mountains, with the beach tracing an impressive long swoop along a bay
dotted with islands. Topiary and modern sculpture dot the immaculately
manicured foreshore. The only blight on the horizon is the
Hollywood-style sign for the Vinpearl complex – an ugly scar dominating
nearby Hon Tre Island.
Nha Trang offers plenty to keep tourists occupied –
from island-hopping boat trips and scuba diving, to mudbaths and
historic sites. But the main attraction for most visitors is lounging
around on deckchairs at a beachfront bar and drinking cocktails in
comfort.
