Nha Trang is a high-rise resort town in southeast Vietnam. Its sandy coast is regarded as one of the most beautiful bays in the world — thanks to its crescent-shaped white sand beach and clear turquoise waters.

Also known as the country’s seafood capital, Nha Trang is bustling with many offerings — from dining choices to pagodas and sculpture gardens as well as a vibrant nightlife. But if those are not enough, you can always visit the many islands nearby via boat or by cable car from Nha Trang.
