Clear turquoise waters surrounding a huge number of offshore islands combine to make up the beautiful coastline at Nha Trang. A boat trip around these islands is reason enough to come here and with amazing seafood, excellent snorkelling and diving, Nha Trang is a wonderful place to just relax and enjoy. The most enchanting place along the coasts is the old port of Hoi An. A world heritage site, this old merchant town with its inspired blend of architecture is also a shopper’s paradise where a tailor will whip up a new outfit in
a few hours. Minutes away on the calm waters of the South China Sea are some of the best white sand beaches in Vietnam which stretch as far as the eye can see.
