Hon Chong Promontory is famous for stunning views and unusual rock formations. The promontory consists of large boulders stacked atop one another, creating a unique geological spectacle.
The most notable rocks are Hon Chong and Hon Vo. Hon Chong features an imprint that, according to local legend, resembles a giant's hand. This legend adds a mystical element to the visit, making the site not just a natural wonder but also a piece of cultural heritage.
Nearby, Hon Vo depicts a more serene scene, resembling a woman cradling a child.
Continue to Po Nagar Towers, an architectural complex built between the 7th and 12th centuries by the Cham people during their peak. This place is an architectural marvel, demonstrating advanced construction techniques that have allowed the towers to stand for over a thousand years.
The mystery of how these towers were constructed with such precision using the technology of the time remains unsolved, captivating many historians and scientists.
The towers were built to honor the goddess Po Nagar, a significant figure in Cham mythology, and they continue to be a place of worship and cultural significance today. Walking through this historic site, visitors can feel a deep connection to the past, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in history and architecture in Nha Trang.
Next on the itinerary is the Nha Trang Mountain Church, also known as the Stone Church or Nha Trang Cathedral. This tourist attraction was built in the early 20th century and is a fine example of Gothic architecture, which is quite rare in this part of the world.
Gray exterior and Romanesque of the church features resemble those of ancient European palaces and castles, providing a striking contrast to the tropical setting. The church is located on a hill, offering panoramic views of Nha Trang city.
Inside, it houses a significant brass bell made by the French company Carillon Bourdon, known for its rich sound and exquisite craftsmanship.
Visit Long Son Pagoda, the largest Buddhist temple in Nha Trang. Established in 1886, this pagoda has undergone several renovations to maintain its beautiful architecture and religious significance. The main attraction here is the large white Buddha statue seated atop Trai Thuy hill, visible from many parts of the city.
This statue is about 31 meters high and serves as a symbol of peace and serenity. The pagoda complex is also home to a 1.6-meter-high bronze Buddha statue weighing 700 kilograms in the main hall and a reclining Buddha statue that is 17 meters long.
These statues, along with the beautifully manicured gardens and traditional Vietnamese architectural elements, create a tranquil atmosphere for visitors. The climb to the Buddha statue on the hill provides a mild physical challenge and rewards climbers with a spectacular view of the surrounding city and countryside.
After lunch, your Nha Trang City Tour 1 Day continues with a visit to the Nha Trang Institute of Oceanography, one of the leading marine research facilities in Southeast Asia. Established in the early 20th century, this institute plays a crucial role in studying and preserving marine life.
It houses over 20,000 specimens, including more than 4,000 species from the East Sea. The public display areas allow visitors to view a fascinating variety of marine creatures, from sharks and lionfish to sea turtles and rare coral species.
The institute also features several large aquariums where you can see these species up close, offering an educational and immersive experience for all ages.
Next, explore the Truong Son Craft Village. This artisan village is a showcase of traditional Vietnamese craft techniques. Here, you can watch skilled artisans at work, creating everything from intricate fishing nets to beautiful conical hats. The village is not only a center for the production of practical items but also a place for creating ornamental products from local materials like sedge mats.
One of the highlights is the opportunity to see large-scale art pieces, such as a massive synthetic plastic Dong Son bronze drum, four meters in diameter. The village also features a display of sculptures that represent the Cham culture, created by the renowned sculptor Doan Xuan Hung.
Walking through the village, you'll be surrounded by lush gardens filled with flowers and fruit trees. In May, the sight of 2,000 blooming sunflowers adds to the charm of the visit.
Continue to Tram Huong Tower, a striking symbol of Nha Trang located right on the beachfront. This three-tiered structure is inspired by elements of nature and local culture, including waves, sails, and petals, reflecting the city's connection to the sea.
The tower is named after agarwood, a precious and fragrant wood that is highly valued in the region for its use in perfume and incense. The design of the tower is modern yet infused with local cultural significance, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals.
The tower's unique architecture and scenic location make it a perfect place for photos and to enjoy panoramic views of the bustling beach and cityscape.
For your final stop, visit Dam Market, the largest and most popular shopping destination in Nha Trang. This market is a center of activity, where you can shop for local specialties, souvenirs, and handicrafts.
It's also a great place to sample local street food, offering everything from fresh seafood to traditional Vietnamese snacks.

If you’re planning a day trip to Nha Trang City, the best time to visit Nha Trang is typically from January to August. During these months, Nha Trang has clear skies and warm temperatures, ideal for outdoor activities like beach excursions and sightseeing tours.
The sea conditions are also favorable for water sports, which are a big draw in this coastal city. Visiting during these months allows you to fully enjoy the outdoor attractions without the interruption of rain.
Weather and Climate in Nha Trang
Nha Trang is known for its tropical climate, characterized by a pronounced dry season and a shorter wet season. The dry season, running from January to August, features warm but comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 23°C to 33°C.
Humidity is relatively low, which enhances the comfort level for exploring the city. Conversely, the wet season from September to December sees higher humidity and frequent rainfall, with occasional storms, which can hinder outdoor activities and travel plans.
Season to avoid
It’s generally recommended to avoid visiting Nha Trang during the wet season, from September to December. This period is marked by significant rainfall, which can lead to flooding and stormy conditions, disrupting travel and outdoor activities.
The heavy rains can reduce visibility for scenic drives and make popular beach destinations less enjoyable. If your travel dates are flexible, planning your visit for the dry season will likely provide a more pleasant and fruitful experience.

Nha Trang’s culinary scene is rich with seafood and Vietnamese cuisine. A must-try dish is “Bún cá sứa,” a noodle soup that features jellyfish, showcasing the local penchant for fresh, marine ingredients.
Another iconic dish is “Nem nướng Nha Trang,” which consists of grilled pork skewers that are wrapped in rice paper with an array of herbs, vegetables, and dipped in a savory peanut sauce. These dishes not only reflect the local culture but also offer a taste of the region’s abundant seafood and agricultural products.

Travel Tips
When packing for a trip to Nha Trang, consider the tropical climate and local customs to ensure you have a comfortable and respectful visit. Here are some simple tips on what to wear and what to bring:
Waterproof Bag: Useful for protecting your electronics and important documents when it rains or if you’re engaging in water activities.
Clothing: Option for clothes made from cotton or linen to stay cool in the humid weather. This is especially important if you’re visiting during the dry season when temperatures can be quite high.
Sun Protection: Bring hats, sunglasses, and a strong SPF sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays, particularly if you plan to spend time on the beach or outdoors.
Comfortable Footwear: Wear comfortable sandals or walking shoes suitable for walking on sandy beaches and exploring the city.
Modest Clothing for Temples: When visiting religious sites like pagodas or temples, dress modestly. This means wearing pants or skirts that cover the knees and tops that cover the shoulders.

FAQs
As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.
While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."
It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.
According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.
To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : https://www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
