Nha Trang Beaches
Nha Trang is renown for its transparent turquoise
waters and its beautiful municipal beach. Although
coconut palm trees provide shelter, along the six km
of beachfront, it is at sunrise and sunset that the
locals prefer to swim and stroll. The area has many
fishing boats which take advantage of the 250 days
of calm sea per year. A cruise from Nha Trang will
allow you to reach tiny idyllic fishing villages
where the residents use two-meter-wide round baskets
made of woven bamboo strips to transport themselves
to boats.
Saigon "Ho Chi Minh City"
Saigon-Also known as "Ho Chi Minh City" named after
its North Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh is
located on the Sai Gon River somewhat northeast of
the Mekong River Delta. It is Vietnam's main port
and an important commercial and industrial center.
Saigon only has two seasons dry (November to April)
and wet (May to October). I may rain as much as 73
inches during the wet season.
