Museum Of Oceanography Nha Trang is a leading marine research institute in South East Asia. It has currently stored and preserved thousands of specimens of thousands of marine species.
Hon Chong Promontory boasts a large area of rocks with various unique shapes lying on the shore. It is surrounded by mountains and highlighted by a serene beach with an incredible shade of gentle blue. Hon Chong Promontory comprises two clusters of rocks. One is called Hon Chong (meaning “Husband” in Vietnamese) and the other is Hon Vo (meaning “Wife” in Vietnamese). Hon Chong cluster is the larger one which features an intriguing giant five-fingered hand embedded in a boulder.
Nha Trang Stone Church has an area of 720m2 with a gothic style. The most striking characteristic is the curved arch-shaped zone, wide, pointing at the sky. The main raw materials to build churches are reinforced concrete and split rocks, creating a layout for sure, steady with small cubes slowly, reaching from low to high. The highest score of the church is the bell tower, which crosses 38m high from the pavement.
The Po Nagar Towers are a complex of temples erected approximately before 781 A.D. Their unmistakable architecture and art style had spread widely across Vietnam. It’s also a religious architecture of Nha Trang local. The overall architecture of the tower is a masterpiece with stairs, wall steps, and sculptures showing the heyday of the ancient Cham Kingdom.

5.00It’s a great experience as it covers most of must see in Nha Trang. The tour guide is professional, friendly and courteous. Thế lunch was delicious. The low points are a bit too crowded and traffics due to the holiday. Our drivers managed the traffic very well.
Great cultural experience

5.00What a lovely experience. We saw many places you wouldn't normally see as a solo tourist. Our guide, Chimmy, was very knowledgeable about the history of the Nha Trang region, particularly about the Champa people. Our lunch together was at a local restaurant and authentic. I throughly recommend this trip for those who want more than just the beach life. He also told. Of more places of cultural significance to visit which was useful.

3.00The guide had been very accommodating. The bus is a disaster. The driver tried hard but he can't get there against broken springs... Time had been very short..but the places had been very interesting.
