<p>I'd like to give an insight into&nbsp;Hué, a tourist town that was once an imperial city and is famous throughout the country for its food! But what tourists often don't realise is that there are numerous wonderful sites just a few kilometres from this town that are seldom visited but are nonetheless authentic and magnificent&nbsp;</p>

Blue Hmong, Red Dao, Black Lolo... The ethnic minority groups living in the misty mountains of Northern Vietnam form a true patchwork quilt of different cultures. Going to meet them is guaranteed to be an intense trip that would only equal coming into contact with other ancestral peoples.

<div>Nha Trang is a seaside town situated in the middle of the country's coast, and 9 hours by bus or train from Ho Chi Minh. After a difficult journey to get there I was quite disappointed. I was expecting a relaxing and tranquil town but in fact it's a very touristy seaside town.</div> <div></div> <div>If you like people, trendy clubs, restaurants serving international cuisine, fashionable shops and concrete then you'll like Nha Trang! Unfortunately I don't and, despite everything that the surrounding nature had to offer, I really didn't appreciate my stay in the town.</div> <div></div> <div>On the other hand, the beach is magnificent and divers will be really happy because the sea beds there are the richest and most varied in the country. As far as I am concerned the town is not an essential place to go <a href="/vietnam/">during your trip to Vietnam.</a> </div>

<strong>Nha Trang is a seaside town</strong> in the centre of Vietnam's coast.

<p>During my <a href="/vietnam/">trip to Vietnam,</a> I stopped at Nha Trang during a bus journey between Dalat and Hoi An. It's not somewhere you necessarily choose to go when you go to Vietnam but Nha Trang is a beautiful seaside resort whose white sand beaches have views over the turquoise water of the China Sea. And what's more, there is bright sun 9 months a year, and even in the rainy season it doesn't rain all the time.</p> <p>Apart from the beach, I recommend you visit the market. Its quite typical but very touristy. The fishing port with all its blue boats is also worth a look. To finish up your visit to Nha Trang you really must go and see the Po Nagar towers. They are the most beautiful remains of the Cham civilisation. Not only is the site very beautiful but the view over its surroundings is marvellous.</p>

<p>225 km from Dalat,  <strong>Nha Trang is a beautiful seaside resort</strong> in the China Sea which is bathed in sun nearly all year.</p>

<p>I have a <strong>somewhat mixed opinion on Nha Trang</strong>. At first glance it seems to be a coastal resort town that you might find in the south of France, with luxury hotels, a water park, nightclubs and even bars where hookers ply their trade. In the downtown area, all the signs are written in Vietnamese and Russian! The vast majority of the tourists are Russians: nouveau riche and frankly, not very likable! Everything stinks of money and the locals greeted us in Russian... it was horrible.</p> <p>Despite that, when you escape from the downtown area, you <a href="/vietnam/">discover the real Vietnam</a>. The market is spectacular, the people are much more natural and you return to Asia after leaving Russia behind. </p> <p>An unexpected bonus: the massages given by blind people, which are very powerful and effective.</p> <p>On the downside: Everything is built for the Russians and there is an airport with direct flights to Russia!</p>

<strong>Nha Trang is a coastal resort, aimed at families, with its own water park</strong>. If you go there, you'll encounter a lot of Russians.
