Vietnam tours – Nha Trang City
Today, Vietnam tours give to all of travelers the Nhatrang guide travel:
Nha Trang is known for its beaches and there are plenty of private and public beaches. These beaches are mostly located to the north of the city and on some of the islands along the bay. Among them, Tran Phu is the most inviting and Hon Chong Beach is easily accessible by motorbike, cyclo or taxi. The Dai Lanh Beach is about one hour north of the city and near this is the Cham ruin of Ponagar. So if you are in a mood to picnic, there are lots of options.
The Tran Phu Beach with its soft golden sand is arguably the best beach in Vietnam. The beach is sparsely populated even during the peak Tet season (Vietnamese New Year). You can hire sun beds for 10,000 VND or 60 cents per day, and order food and drinks from the nearby restaurants. The sea is a little rough so unless you are a seasoned swimmer, don’t attempt to swim or get adventurous. Most of the restaurants and hotels are along the beachfront. They serve fresh seafood caught from the sea and cooked right in front of your eyes. The most popular section of the beach is its central area with many eateries and joints.
Going to the beach is a family affair in Vietnam. Big families and many generations bonding together in the sandy beaches is a familiar sight here. The Nha Trang Beach is filled with local people socialising, playing badminton, practising Tai chi and breathing in the fresh sea breeze. The mornings, between 5-8 am, are packed with these activities. Many of the people form groups and go for their morning swim, exercise and discuss national and international news. News is conveniently spouted out of loud speakers placed strategically on electrical poles. They also deliver music and discussions. The hustle bustle is seen till 8 am. Post 8 am, silence and serenity are restored as the beach is magically emptied of all the commotion.
