Top Things to Do in Nha Trang

Nha Trang, the most popular and well-known seaside resort town of Vietnam, is famous for its white sandy beaches and clean seawater. Compared with other beach destinations, such as Mui Ne and Phu Quoc, Nha Trang is more urban and lively. If you are looking for a mix of big city life and a relaxing coastal atmosphere, busy night markets and quiet places under the palm trees, modern buildings and ancient architectures, this is the perfect place.

Have Fun in the Disneyland of Vietnam

Vinpearl Land

Recommended length of visit: a day

Vinpearl Land, located on Bamboo Island, is the Disneyland of Vietnam. There are several sections on the island: an amusement park, a water park aquarium, and a large 5-star hotel.

You can get there via the world's longest oversea cable car (3,320 meters). If you like excitement, the amusement park must be your first choice. There's a short roller coaster, merry-go-round, bumper cars, an alpine coaster, 3D cinema, and a games arcade.

You could also take a dip in the beautiful man-made beach cove, cool down on the slides and in the wave pool, and marvel at the colorful tropical fish, turtles, and sharks in the giant aquarium!

Long Son Pagoda

Recommended length of visit: two to three hours

Long Son Pagoda is a multilevel Buddhist temple gracefully rising on a hill. When entering the pagoda, you will be attracted by a large white 14-meter Buddha statue. The Buddha, seated on an enormous lotus flower, overlooks the city.

What's more, there is a main temple, which is decorated, a separate prayer room, and a bell temple in the pagoda.

If you are lucky, you will hear monks and nuns chanting. It's a pleasure to sit on the bench in the shade and listen to their voices ringing through the hall.

Tasting a Seafood Feast on the Beach

A Seafood Feast on the Beach

Recommended length of visit: one to two hours

Tasting seafood is a must-do activity in this coastal city, but have you ever tried eating a seafood BBQ on the beach? Possibly not.

In Nha Trang, tasting seafood on the beach at sunset is definitely a highlight of your trip. When night falls, the mobile barbecue stalls arrive. They usually carry stoves and a basket of seafood, including crabs, langoustines, lobsters, and fish.

You can order some at low prices and they will be barbecued for you on the spot. After several minutes, you can enjoy a fresh seafood feast on the beach.

Get Close to Nature by Hiking to the Waterfalls

Ba Ho Waterfalls

Recommended length of visit: half a day

If lying on the beach gets too boring, an intense hike to Ba Ho Waterfalls will be a pleasant diversion. It is a series of three waterfalls and a fast-flowing river tucked away in the forest. Ba Ho is refreshingly natural, quiet, and a great way to get some exercise.

It will take you about 25 minutes to hike up to the first waterfall, which you can swim in. The second and third falls are even more challenging to reach but are duly rewarding — please ensure you have enough water, energy, and time before embarking any further.
