While it’s fairly easy to explore this popular Vietnam district on foot,
bicycle, and motorcycle, there are numerous tour operators within Nha
Trang city centre that organise day excursions to Nha Trang’s most
popular attractions. Read on to discover the places that you should not
leave off your travel itinerary
6. Thap Ba Hot Springs Centre
Thap Ba Hot Springs Centre is a great place to relax and rejuvenate
after a day of exploring Nha Trang. It is believed that the natural hot
mineral springs help detoxify and soothe fatigued muscles, remove dead
skin cells, and supply minerals to the body. Accessible within a
15-minute drive from Nha Trang City, the establishment is fitted with
private and shared mud-baths, herbal-bath, Jacuzzi, waterfall, swimming
pool, and sauna. Due to its popularity, Thap Ba Hot Springs Centre can
get very crowded, so the best time of day to visit is between 12:00 and
15:00
7. Ba Ho Waterfalls
Ba Ho Waterfalls is comprised of three natural waterfalls that ends with
a clear lake surrounded by a dense rainforest, offering a peaceful
retreat for swimming, picnics, and fishing. The waterfalls have been
left in their natural state, for the most part, with several arrow
pointers and cement steps set along the more challenging routes. It’s a
40-minute drive from Nha Trang City, with wonderful stretches of
coastlines and paddy fields throughout the journey. Alternatively,
visitors can join a day tour, which usually offers a guided trip to
prominent attractions in northern Nha Trang, including Ba Ho Waterfalls,
Monkey Island, and Doc Let Beach.
8.Alexandre Yersin Museum
The Alexandre Yersin Museum commemorates the late French bacteriologist
with exhibits of his personal belongings and laboratory equipment, as
well as original letters and photographs from his travels around
Vietnam. Some of his vital contributions to Vietnam include the founding
of Dalat, discovery of a vital plague-causing bacterium, and research
on agricultural methods and meteorological forecasting. In addition to
the displayed artefacts, visitors can also view a short film about
Yersin’s life at the museum. With an entry fee of VND 28,000, the museum
offers guided tours in French, English and Vietnamese.
9.Suoi Do Pagoda
Suoi Do Pagoda is a 50-year-old temple that was built in honour of Quan
Am, the Goddess of Mercy. It is believed that a young girl claimed to
have seen the goddess while playing with her friends at the nearby
stream. Set atop a mountain, it takes about 200 steps to reach the
pagoda, where you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of paddy fields,
banana plantations, and neighbouring hills. The pagoda is a 30-minute
drive from Nha Trang. Due to its hidden locale, it’s best to join a tour
or ask locals for directions. Do note that wheelchair facilities are
not available here, so travellers with physical disabilities may find it
challenging to visit.
10. Hon Khoi Salt Fields
The Hon Khoi Salt Fields are some of the most unique tourist
destinations in Nha Trang, where female workers harvest mounts of
natural salt from shallow fields between the months of January and June.
It is an hour’s drive from Nha Trang city centre, and you can find
these salt fields along the way to Doc Let Beach. Thanks to Vietnam's
extensive coastline, salt production is a thriving industry in Nha
Trang, generating about 737,000 tonnes every year. Hon Khoi Salt Fields
are also popular spots for photography, where visitors can capture great
views of the salt mountains and locals carrying heavy baskets across
the fields.
