Nha Trang is a friendly coastal town with white, palm-lined sandy beaches and clear waters, making it ideal for snorkelling and diving. Nha Trang is also famous for its excellent seafood. There are a large number of restaurants, cafés and discos in the city. One of the main attractions is the French-gothic style cathedral of Nha Trang and the temple of Chua Long Tu, built on a hilltop with a white statue of Buddha measuring nearly 15 m high. From the bay you can see the strange rock formations referred to by the locals as "Buddha's footprints". A boat trip to the islands just off the coast is highly recommended. A trip slightly North of the Cho river provides an excellent view of the Cham Towers of Po Nagar and Po Klong, which stand on a small mountain. Here, visitors can see the remains of the prayer hall and the Thap Chinh tower measuring around 20m high, which dates from the 9th century.

Halong bay boasts some of Vietnam's most beautiful countryside. It is made up of more than 3,000 little islands of Karst rocks, some of which cover an area of 2,000 km². The rock formations are a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The port town of Halong City consists of the two areas "Bai Chai" and "Hon Gai". Legend has it that Halong Bay was created by a "dragon coming down to land" ("Ha Long"). Science has, however, proven that the island landscape was formed during the last Ice Age through the sinking of the South-West Chinese limestone plateau.
