nha trang city
by call_me_rhia
Nha Trang, pronounced “Nia Tchain” was only on our list for an overnight stop - just enough to drop by and say helo to a "shared" friend... We did not expect much from a city that prides itself as a seaside resort... we ended up staying longer, not for the fine beaches (in town they are not as great as they say) and the waters of the China Sea, but for the places to visit and, in particular, new wonderful friends. Wonderful new friends - starting from the "shared" friend, Athos - now a real friend... who showed us around and fed us great home food, and his wide and little adorable daughter. And then again Charlie, the mad Basque who really knows how to enjoy life to the full... and not to forget sweet Phuong, whom we hope to meet again and take up her offer to go out to her village with her...
FEED THE MONKEYS
by balhannah
MONKEY ISLAND, and as the name suggests, its full of Monkeys. They are everywhere.
Probably if you have children they would like to feed them, you can buy food here.
If not , just enjoy watching everybody else feeding them or watch their antics.
Remember to keep hold of your camera, purse and anything loose, such as keys, they are quite good at thieving!
I came included on a tour, so for a quick look it was ok, wouldn't come here especially, and I wasn't keen on the way handlers interact with the Monkeys.
It probably is a "tourist trap" but if you haven't seen Monkeys on the loose, wandering around before, then maybe you would like it.
Jeremy Stein's Rainbow Divers
by TravelFess
I have scuba dived numerous places and this is place is top notch. I got my advanced certification through them and my friend got her initial PADI certification. They have numerous instructors (I was one on one for my adv certification). Also there were only 3 (at most) divers per master diver on all the dives. Many dive clubs in the SE Asia area can be less than reputable but this place is the real deal. I highly advise them.
Nice atmosphere, great food
by bpwarne about Khanh Kat
I ate at this restaurant in April, 2008. I found it to be very relaxed, quiet, with excellent service. Prices were reasonable, food was very good. A very pleasant setting for dinner. I had a set menu meal for $4USD. This included an appetizer of spring rolls/sauce, soup, main course of fish/shrimp w/vegetables and steamed rice, and desert. There were various set menu meals to choose from as well as a normal menu.
Also, 2 BGI beers for 14000 dong (about 85 cents, USD) from 5:30pm - 8:30pm.
CHAM TOWERS
by MikeAtSea
Situated at the top of a hill overlooking the Cai River, the Cham Towers date back to the 8th century when there were eight of these magnificent structures crowning the granite hilltop. The main tower, Ponagar, was named after the goddess of the Cham people, who worshipped Ponagar as their protector. After being destroyed during various wars, the towers were rebuilt in the 12th century. The remains we see today are still an impressive sight. From the hilltop
one can also enjoy a panoramic view of Nha Trang’s surroundings.
