Nha Trang - Qui Nhon 2
Days 1 Night
The city of Nha Trang is
becoming more popular with
the tourists in recent
years. Yet, with a
population of 300,000, Nha
Trang still retains its
small town atmosphere. This
resort town is well known
for its miles of beach and
the friendliness of its
people. The city is flanked
by nearly ten kilometers of
prime beach where the water
is warm year round. The
average temperature in Nha
Trang is 26 C. Nha Trang
also has the lowest level of
humidity in all of Vietnam.
Today, Nha Trang ranks among
the top of all beaches in
Vietnam. Nha Trang is 1,287
km south of Hanoi, 624 km
south of Hue and 442 km from
Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon).
Nha Trang has several famous
islands. Most notable are
Hon Tre, Hon Yen, Hon Rua
and the Spratly islands.
The name Nha trang is a
Vietnamese pronunciation of
a Cham word Eatran or Yjatan.
Ea or Yja means river, and
tran means reed. According
to the locals, there once
were a lot of reeds along
Ngoc Hoi river. The river
winds its way through the
town. Ngoc Hoi was later
renamed Nha Trang river.
Another theory of the origin
of Nha Trang 's name has a
more amusing twist. Long
ago, in this part of the
country, all the houses were
made out of the reeds and
mud gathered from Ngoc Hoi
river. The only house that
was made out of bricks were
the house belonging to Dr.
Yersin, a French
immunologist who made his
home here. The house itself
was painted prominently
white and could be seen by
vessels coming from far
away. Once there was a
foreign vessel passing by.
The captain asked his
translator where he was. The
translator not knowing where
they were blurted out Nha`
tra('ng or white house in
Vietnamese. The captain duly
noted on his chart Nha Trang.
Because most foreign
languages do not make use of
tones, the captain's name
for this part of the country
stuck.
The central city of Quy Nhon
has both nice landscape and
interesting history. It lies
in the cradle of Vietnamese
traditional martial art,
classical opera and the Cham
culture. Besides a series of
surviving Cham towers, the
city also boasts unspoiled
beaches, one of which used
to be owned by Vietnamese
Queen.
