You can seat in one of those outdoor decks relaxing and looking out to the stunning views with drink. It is quite a local scenes to experience. People sell book on a bike, sell foods and drink on the street, and etc. The boys play footballs on the beach during sunset.

We enjoyed our moment there after dinner and waited our bus for the next destination.

Thap Ba Hot Spring Center is a famous tourist for mud spa in Nha Trang. It is believed to make your skin smoother and healthier after the mud bath. We took the taxi there at around 4:40pm which was our last attraction to visit in Nha Trang which was near Po Nagar Tower. After we paid the fee (I have forgotten how much), we went to the locker area which is open air, and got change in the shower room. We experienced the mud bath, which was fun and had the massage pool which near the bath area was great after the mud bath. We also went to the swimming pool area swam in warm mineral water.

They also have private VIP mud baths, flower and medicinal herb bath, and private massages & therapeutic services.

If you want to relax after walking all day to attractions, this would be an ideal place to come in the late afternoon.

Po Nagar Tower are a complex of temples located near the Cai River, and at the mountain of Cu Lao. This site reflected the history of the Cham had ruled Vietnam in the pass, and connected with the existence of Angkok Wat. This temple was dedicated to Yan Po Nagar, the goddess of the country, who believed to find the Hindu goddesses of Bhagavati and Mahishasuramardini.

It was quiet amazed to me to see this Hindu temple located at Nha Trang, Vietnam. We always thought Vietnam was more like a french colonial with churches, and the Chinese influences with Buddhist temples. The remnant of this Hindu Temple has really showed how long was the history of civilization of different human races in this country.

Don't miss this place if you visit Nha Trang!!

Long Son Pagoda is a Buddhist Temple with a giant white concrete status of Gautama Buddha. It is quite visible of the Buddha status when you enter Nha Trang through the highway, or trains. This temple is the headquarter of the Buddhist Studies Association for Khanh Hoa Province.

When we arrived in this temple by foot, we realized that it was quite a distant from the town area. Most of the visitors here come with taxi or hired a local guide. We enjoyed the scenery around the temple especially overlook at the Buddha with Nha Trang mountain view.

On our 2nd day, we walked on Thanh Ton road and saw this french architecture church on the hill side front of a roundabout. We walked in through the back on the church. We passed by father's house, and rolls of cemetery of previous fathers. This church is built on the hill side, so the views from the church look out to local houses, shops, and mountains. The Gothic architecture gave you a feeling of being in any western countries. We also visited their local community hall seeing students studying inside the hall.

At 8:30am in the morning, the minibus came to pick us up to Sinh Cafe Office to the boat terminal. We had around 15-20 people from different countries in a boat heading to our first island, Mun Island. In the island, we had an option as weather we want pay extra to enter the Marine wildlife. We did not do that. We took pictures, and enjoyed the island scenery. After we left Mun island, the boat was cruising around many islands, and stopped nearby Mot Island to have lunch on the boat. Lunch included meat, fish, vegetable, and fruits. They were in small portion on each dish. It was a simple lunch. After lunch, the D.J started to entertained us with local jokes, and invited each guests to sing for the crowd. I was invited to sing too, but I was shy and not able to sing well. They danced and played on the boat, later people jumped into the water and had drink wine and ate fruits in the ocean with floating bar. I did not prepare to swim as I did not expect this in Vietnam. After the party, the boat was sailing to a resort island named Tam Island. People could swim, jet ski, sun bath in this island. It was such a beautiful island with blue sky. The boat sailed back to Nha Trang Island and ended our island trip for the day.

It was such a bargain island trip. Everyone should try it ... very fun...
