About this place

NHA TRANG CITY INFORMATION

 

Nha Trang city has a metropolitan area of 251 km² and population of about 500,000 . It borders Ninh Hòa town by the north, Cam Ranh city by the south, Diên Khánh town by the west and the South China Sea to the east. The city is located on the beautiful Nha Trang Bay, which was chosen by Travel and Leisure in two succeeding years as one of 29 most beautiful bays in the world. Nha Trang is surrounded on all three sides by mountains and a large island on the fourth side (in the ocean directly in front of the city’s main area), blocking major storms from potentially damaging the city.
Nha Trang has a tropical savanna climate with a lengthy dry season from January to August and a shorter wet season from September to December, when 1,029 millimetres (41 in) of the city’s total annual rainfall of 1,361 mm (54 inch) is received from the northeast monsoon. During the wet season extremely heavy rainfall from typhoons is not uncommon, though the city is shielded from the worst winds.

Wikipedia, the world’s largest internet encyclopedia has described it as follows: “Nha Trang is well known for its pristine beaches and excellent scuba diving and is fast becoming a popular destination for international tourists, attracting large numbers of backpackers as well as more affluent travelers on the Southeast Asia circuit. It is already very popular with Vietnamese tourists. Nha Trang Bay is widely considered as amongst the world’s most beautiful bays. Tourists are welcome to participate in the Sea Festival, held biennially. Nha Trang was the site of the Miss Universe 2008 Pageant on July 14, 2008 and it will also host Miss Earth 2010.” Participants at boat races starting in Hong Kong as well as large luxury ships cruising Asia make stopovers in Nha Trang.

Before becoming Vietnamese Nha Trang was part of the Cham Empire. It was a small fishing village until the 19th century when it was recognized that its beauty would make it an ideal bathing spot. This triggered then its transformation into a leading resort town in Vietnam. Its rapid development in the years to come should turn it into one of East Asia’s best beach resorts.

WEATHER & CLIMATE

Nha Trang is known for the best weather in Vietnam. The weather is beautiful from February through October with plenty of sunny days when visitors can spend time on the beach. The best diving is during the spring months. The rainy season takes place from October through January during which period only limited swimming and diving is possible. The weather can then be grey, the waves choppy and the waters sandy.

The rainfall is less than anywhere else in the country, humidity is moderate and the area is not threatened by storms since it is protected by the Truong Son Mountains and the Ca Pass.Throughout the year the temperatures are moderate, ranging from an average low of 19 degrees Celsius (sixty five degrees Fahrenheit) to an average high of 29 degrees Celsius (eighty five degrees Fahrenheit).  During the hottest months of the year (July and August) humidity is higher. But fresh winds from the sea make humidity bearable particularly in the evening and at night.
