Nha Trang, one of the largest beach resorts in Vietnam, is located in the central part of the country, about 450 km north of Ho Chi Minh City. Modern high-rise buildings here surround a 7 km long beach. Nha Trang is a nice place to relax with an abundance of activities for everyone to choose from.

However, Nha Trang is starting to pay a toll for the ever-increasing number of tourists. It is growing into a huge tourist spot. Let everyone decide for themselves, but if you don't want to spend your vacation in a place where you will meet more Russians than locals, then you better avoid this place. Unfortunately, they also took over most of the activities associated with tourism here.

Even during the rainy season, you can enjoy the warm weather here for swimming. In the sea, however, expect bigger waves and dirt that is washed here by the surrounding rivers.

A poem about Nha Trang invented by artificial intelligence

In Nha Trang, where the sun bathes in a veil of gold,
On white beaches, where the waves happily rustle.
The air smells of exotic flowers and sea songs,
And the sun shines above this boundless paradise.

Corals and fish create their quiet world here,
Below the surface, where the colors alternate like a painter's palette.
Nha Trang, where history breathes in every stone,
And where dreams are intertwined with the smell of sea salt.

In the harbor the boats dance softly,
And the sun's rays bathe lazily in the blue water.
Nha Trang, a city where time seems to stand still,
And in the air you can feel the story of every wave and every sand given.
