Amazing places in Nha Trang worth visiting!

I never stop singing praises for Southeast Asia, and this time my trip to Nha Trang was no exception. 📌 What to visit? ▫️Po Nagar Cham Towers - This ancient temple complex was built by the Cham people and is dedicated to the goddess Yan Po Nagar, the patroness of agriculture and fertility. Originally, there were up to 7 towers, but only 4 have survived to this day, constructed from red bricks without the use of mortar. The complex has retained its religious significance: ceremonies are still held here. Entrance fee is 30k dong ≈ $1. ▫️Long Son Pagoda - Climb 150 steps to reach the massive white Buddha statue sitting atop Trai Thuy Mountain, passing by the happy reclining Buddha along the way. Free entrance. ▫️Mountain Church - Built in the 1930s in French colonial style with elements of Gothic architecture. Regular services are held here (including in English and Vietnamese), and visitors can join the mass or simply sit quietly in the prayer hall. Free entrance. ▫️Oceanography Museum - Located on the grounds of a research institute. You can learn about the life cycles of marine creatures and see sharks, turtles, and rays. Entrance fee is 40k dong ≈ $1.5. ▫️Train Coffee - A cozy spot to escape the heat while sipping Vietnamese coffee. The café features lots of greenery, a small pond with colorful koi fish, and Vietnamese decor. The main highlight is the passing trains that come within millimeters of your nose. Train schedules are available near the counter, and they pass approximately every hour to hour and a half. Coconut coffee costs 52k dong ≈ $2. ▫️And of course, Nha Trang beaches. Just be cautious and don’t leave valuables unattended. There have been theft incidents at the central beach near the Cham Huong Tower. I mostly swam at the Northern beach and didn’t encounter such issues. In any case, staying vigilant is always a good idea.
