Not spending a lot of money when traveling is our main rule. If we can go somewhere on our own and not pay intermediaries, we will certainly do so. And with the amount saved we can go to a restaurant or spend the money on a new trip. Today everything is about what you can see and where to go in Vietnamese Nha Trang on your own. How much does it cost, how to get there, as well as a traditional map with marks on the area.
Sights of Nha Trang
Nha Trang is a compact town, but rich in entertainment. Even if you go there for 2-3 weeks, there will still be something to do. Let's start with the attractions within the city. All photos open in large size when clicked.
Cham Towers Po Nagar (Po Nagar Cham Towers)
This amazing and mystical place is located across the bridge on the outskirts of the city. It is very easy to get here from the center of Nha Trang by taxi for only 40-60 thousand dong ($2-3).
You can not depend on anyone at all, rent a motorbike and go see the towers on your own.
The Cham towers are over a thousand years old, but they are surprisingly well preserved. The red brick temple complex is located on Mount Cu Lao. From here you have an amazing view of Nha Trang and the sea.
Opening hours, entrance ticket price:
Visitors are allowed to the towers from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The entrance ticket costs 21 thousand dong ($1). Another few thousand will need to be paid for parking the bike.
More photos and our reviews from the visit are in a separate post.
Long Son Pagoda
A large Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Nha Trang. Its main highlight is the large statue of Buddha sitting on a lotus and the breathtaking views of Nha Trang from the mountain. It is better to come here in the late afternoon, when there are no tourists. It will not be so hot to go up, you will lose your vigilance, and you will be able to see the sunset over Nha Trang.
Opening hours and entrance ticket prices:
From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., admission is free (don’t pay attention to scammers who may ask you to pay for climbing the stairs).
Tri Nguyen Aquarium
This aquarium is famous for its unusual appearance. It's a little like, just as surreal, as if from parallel universe. It can only be reached by sea. But don't worry about how to do it. A visit to the Tri Nguyen Aquarium is included in the tour southern islands. Entry into the aquarium costs 50 thousand dong ($2.5).
Islands of monkeys, deer, orchids (Northern Islands of Nha Trang)
You can also organize an excursion to the northern islands near Nha Trang on your own. To do this, you need to rent a bike and drive 18 km north from the city to the boat station. From that pier, boats depart every half hour to three islands: Monkey Island, Orchid Island and Deer Island. You can take a tour to three islands at once, or you can take a ride only to Monkey Island and go further to Bajo Falls. A transfer to Monkey Island costs 70 thousand dong ($6.5) round trip. To the orchid island - 100 thousand dong ($5). If you plan to visit three islands at once, then it is cheaper to buy a tour from the Vietnamese in Nha Trang for 350 thousand dong ($18). It turns out that they will pick you up for free and take you to the pier.
More details about our trip to the island in a separate post: there are a lot of photos, as well as tips on how to communicate with macaques in order to remain safe and sound.
Ba Ho Waterfall
This is a unique place north of Nha Trang and just 7 km from the boat station where excursions to the northern islands depart. Large boulders, several waterfalls, jungle and wild animals all around. Wear comfortable sneakers or closed sandals; you will have to do a lot of rock climbing.
It is better to go to Bajo Falls in dry weather, as after rain the stones can be wet and dangerous. Bring your swimsuits more water and I'm going, because The path to the waterfalls is not close, and there will be no cafes along the road.
Entrance fee to the park with Baho waterfalls is 15 thousand dong ($0.75) per person. If you haven’t spent time visiting Monkey Island before, you can look nearby for the picturesque Doc Let beach or go look at the salt fields.
If you have a little more time in Nha Trang, be sure to go to. This is an amazingly beautiful town in the mountains, 3-4 hours drive from Nha Trang. It is better to stay in Dalat for 2-3 days in order to have time to see the waterfalls in the vicinity of the city, Buddhist temples, Crazy House, Bao Dai palaces and much more.
And for those who want to go a little beyond the standard tourist routes, I would advise you to go, where locals still catch wild elephants in the jungle and tame them. A special adventure is an elephant ride across Lac Lake.

What to see and where to go in Nha Trang?
The most interesting and Beautiful places for walks. Photos and brief description.
In the 7th-12th centuries, the medieval principality of Champa (Chapma) existed on part of the territory of southern and central Vietnam. The Po Nagar towers on Mount Cu Lao were erected in the 10th century during the heyday of this state. Only four buildings have survived to this day. The Cham Towers are a Hindu religious complex. Until now, they are a cult place for some Vietnamese.
The cable car connects the coast of Nha Trang with Hon Tre Island, where the Vinpearl Land amusement park, popular among tourists, is located. The length of the road is more than 3 km. The design of the metal supports resembles the outlines Eiffel Tower(due to the beautiful night illumination, an even greater resemblance to the Parisian landmark is achieved). The cable car ride lasts 10-15 minutes. During this time, the passenger has time to admire the coast and islands.
Located on Hon Che Island, Vinpearl can be called one of the most visited attractions in the city. Hundreds of tourists go to this “land of entertainment” every day. The vast territory includes a water park, an amusement park, an aquarium and an arcade. Visitors can relax on the beaches of the local five-star hotel, dine at one of the many restaurants, and watch a colorful fountain show in the evening.
The main Buddhist complex of Khanh Hoa province and at the same time a popular attraction in Nha Trang, where all guests of the city strive to get to. The architectural dominant of the pagoda is a 14-meter statue of white Buddha, to which a long staircase of 150 steps leads. This statue can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Inside the pedestal on which the god sits there is a temple.
The pagoda is located outside the city on a hilltop. Getting there is not so easy, since the last public transport stop is an hour and a half walk from the temple. Moreover, tourists face a long climb up the mountain. But at the end of the journey, a surprise awaits all those who dare - breathtaking views of the rice fields, mountains and green surroundings of Nha Trang.
The Catholic Church of St. Mary, which Vietnam inherited from the French colonists. The cathedral houses the residence of the Bishop of Nha Trang. The building was erected in the 1930s in gothic style. Its facade is decorated with pointed arches, the windows are decorated with multi-colored stained glass, and the roof is crowned with a church tower with a clock dial. Around the cathedral there is a small courtyard where statues of the Virgin Mary and Jesus are installed.
A lotus-shaped structure decorating the city embankment. The real name of the building is the Tower of Incense. Previously, on its site there was a memorial in honor of the fallen defenders of Khanh Hoa province. In 2008, partly with funds from the Vinpearl Land hotel complex, an exhibition complex was built, reminiscent in shape of a well-known flower. Its premises are used for holding various exhibitions.
The museum is located in the wing of the research institute, which was founded by A. Yersin in 1891. This scientist is highly revered in Vietnam. Many streets are named after him and educational establishments. He devoted his life to the study of bacteria - the causative agents of plague and other diseases. The museum exhibition reproduces the atmosphere of A. Yersin’s study. The collection consists of books, personal items and tools.
Long Tan is a famous Vietnamese photographer who has devoted his entire life to the art of black and white photography. In his house there is a small gallery containing a collection of photographs depicting everyday life and the life of the Vietnamese. The master has filmed various subjects since the mid-20th century. His works are distinguished by their diversity, originality and expressiveness. You can buy the photo you like.
An entertainment complex located in the southern part of the city. The museum's exposition is located on the territory of a traditional Vietnamese house. The collection consists of 3D paintings and optical illusion rooms where you can take fun photos. The museum will be of interest to visitors with children, as the excursion is somewhat reminiscent fun game, during which you can immerse yourself in a magical “through the looking glass”.
A scientific institution engaged in deep sea exploration since the 1920s. The institute has an aquarium where you can see the inhabitants Pacific Ocean. Stingrays, moray eels, turtles and exotic fish swim in the aquariums. On the second floor there are stuffed sea creatures. Part of the exhibition is located in aquariums inside the building, the other part is in tanks outside.
The aquarium is located on one of the islands off the coast of Nha Trang. The original building of the aquarium is made in the shape of a pirate ship. Local residents nicknamed it "Neptune's Palace". Chi Nguyen was founded by a simple fisherman Le Can, who was remembered by his contemporaries for his love of nature and his country. In 1971, using his own funds, he dug a pond where he began breeding representatives of marine fauna. Over time, his collection grew into a large maritime museum.
The fortress is located about 10 km from Nha Trang. Presumably, it was built in the 18th century during the reign of one of the last emperors of independent Vietnam. Brick and marble were used in the construction of the citadel. Only part of the buildings has survived to this day, since Dien Khanh was severely damaged during the French invasion. The surviving gates and part of the walls are in a fairly neglected state.
The reserve is located on the mountain of the same name, several tens of kilometers from Nha Trang. This is a real kingdom of impenetrable green forests and misty horizons. Most of the park's territory is located at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level, so the local climate is very different from the coastal and lowland. In the middle of the reserve on the top of the mountain stands the house-museum of Alexandre Yersin.
A visit to Yang Bay Nature Park is included in many excursion routes. It is located about an hour's drive from Nha Trang. Here tourists can admire the Yang Kan, Yang Bay and HoCho waterfalls, feed crocodiles, ride an ostrich and watch a musical performance by the local Raglai tribe. Visitors are also offered entertainment such as pig races and cockfights.
Ba Ho is a group of three waterfalls located in the vicinity of Zoklet Beach. To get to this natural attraction, you need to overcome a rather difficult road that passes through mountainous terrain. Most tourists limit themselves to visiting the first of the three waterfalls; only a few reach the last one, since only physically resilient people can overcome the path to it.
During the period of Soviet-Vietnamese friendship, monkeys were bred on this island to be sent to the USSR. Then the supplies were stopped and the animals overran the entire area. Now Monkey Island is a protected area, a real “kingdom of monkeys”, where, according to various estimates, more than 1,500 individuals live. For tourists, there are entertainment shows, cafes and restaurants, and a beach.
Almost the entire territory of Hon Mun Island is classified as a protected area and is under the auspices of the World Conservation Fund. wildlife. People come here not only to relax on the snow-white beaches. The coastal waters of Hon Mun are inhabited by amazing marine life, so all tourists who want to scuba dive and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world flock to the island.
Large spa center nearby temple complex By Nagar. It is located in a picturesque area surrounded by eucalyptus groves and blooming gardens. In Thap Ba you can spend the whole day taking healing hot baths, swimming in pools and enjoying healing treatments. Local healing mud helps with many ailments. After visiting the resort, tourists can purchase jars of this substance as a souvenir.
Another “mud bath” of Nha Trang, which is a worthy competitor to the Thap Ba springs. Visitors have access to service packages that include various procedures. A visit to I-Resort is an excellent alternative to a beach holiday, especially on a cloudy day (the water in the center’s pools is always warm). The main swimming pool of the complex is stylized as sea beach with white sand.
A new spa resort that opened in 2012. The complex occupies an area of 23 hectares. Here, in addition to swimming pools and hot springs, there is a botanical garden, a zoo, an impromptu ethnic village, a temple and observation decks with magnificent views. The name "100 Eggs" is associated with the legend of the love of a dragon and a magical bird. One hundred nationalities of Vietnam subsequently hatched from the eggs laid by the bird.
Hon Chong is located in the backend of Nha Trang. The cape is strewn with stones of all possible sizes and shapes. Sometimes the blocks gather into bizarre shapes, against which spectacular photographs are obtained. At the local souvenir shop you can buy a picture made from stones as a souvenir. The cape offers breathtaking views of the vast South China Sea, especially during sunrise and sunset.
Industrial salt mining is carried out in the fields of Khon Khoi. They are located about 50 km from Nha Trang near Zoklet Beach. Plantations are flooded sea water, which evaporates within a few days and leaves snow-white crystals. After this, the salt is collected and sent for processing. The work is carried out in the morning, since salt collected in the hottest weather is considered unsuitable for consumption.
Zoklet is considered one of the best beaches in Nha Trang and the surrounding area. It is located 50 km north of the city. You can get there by taxi, bike or public transport. Tourists value this place for the beauty of the scenery, the clear sea and the opportunity to be in relative solitude, since there are usually few people here. Zoklet is ideal for families with children due to its gentle slope and shallow sea depth.
The city beach stretches for several kilometers along the sea line. It is free, but you will have to pay to rent hotel-owned sun loungers and umbrellas. Along the beach there is a stone-paved embankment with public gardens and equipped recreation areas. Perfect time for swimming - the first half of the day, since after lunch the waves rise and the water becomes cloudy.

Snorkeling and scuba diving
You can book such an excursion at almost any travel agency. As I said above, excursions in Russian are more expensive. In principle, a guide is not needed for snorkeling, all that is required is to correctly name your shoe size, to choose fins and that’s it.
In the morning, a small bus collects a group from all the hotels and brings them to the pier, where the rest is easy: they put you on a boat and take you to conquer the South China Sea.
Be sure to take sunscreen with you, as you can get pretty scorched.
Price: VND 396,000 (RUB 1,200) per adult (in English).
