Tourist Attractions
Floating baskets.
- 1 Cham towers. Po Nagar. On a hill (after the bridge on the left) when you come from the city you will find the Cham towers. The buildings from the 12th century have been preserved as if they were only a few decades old. The stones were stacked on top of each other without mortar. First of all you are impressed by the pillared hall (see picture) at the foot of the hill. Sanskrit inscriptions can still be found on some walls. There is a great view back over the port of Nha Trang and the mouth of the Cai River.
- Nha Trang. Nha Trang is also called the Nice of Vietnam. The beach is about 4 km long. There are many stalls lined up along the promenade where locals sell souvenirs. It pays to compare and haggle. And not everything that is offered as real is also real (e.g. pearls, which are also advertised en masse made of plastic). Unfortunately, many modern hotel boxes are pulled up (see picture) which threatens to dampen the charm considerably. To the north is the cape Hon Chong, which is worth visiting because of its large rock formations. On the way there you can see the round ones floating basketsthat fishermen use as dinghies.

Cape Hon Chong.
There are many stalls selling souvenirs on the promenade. Among other things, pearls (real and fake and those made of plastic), salad servers and water buffalo horn (nice to look at, but useless because it doesn't tolerate the vinegar and heat anyway).

- Jungle Beach (64 kilometers from Nha Trang, 15 miles from Highway 1). - However, this backpacker alternative is 1 hour's drive from Nha Trang and therefore not recommended for just 1 night. There are 3 rooms in a longhouse and 10 rather simple huts with mattresses, blankets, pillows, mosquito nets and fans.
