Nha Trang is endowed by nature with a temperate climate, beautiful natural scenery, and a rich history and culture.

Nha Trang coastal city is the capital of Khanh Hoa province, on the south central coast of Vietnam, located beside Nha Trang Bay. The seven - kilometre stretch of Tran Phu street along the sea is the largest and the most beautiful street, which also showcases the important architectural works of the city, and is building more works to serve tourists.

Nha Trang Beach is a long stretch of curving white sand where the city embraces the blue sea. Not only beautiful natural scenery, Nha Trang also attracts tourists for its year-round warm climate and the overwhelming sunlight. Nha Trang Bay has many islands guarding its entrance, so the water is so quiet and with smooth waves; the city is a seaside resort and an ideal destination for tourists.

Nha Trang bay is one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It is 507 square kilometres with 19 large and small islands, the largest of which is Hon Tre Island with 3,250 hectares, and the smallest is Hon Noc Island with about 4 hectares.

Nha Trang Bay has mountains, rivers, the sea, lagoons, islands, fields and villages, for excellent tourism value. Nha Trang Bay is a unique natural model of systems of bays and lagoons in the world with biological diversity and most of the typical ecosystems of the tropical marine region.

In March, 2005, Nha Trang Bay was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) as a National Landscape. On April 22, 2009, the Prime Minister signed a decision to recognize Nha Trang as a first-grade city.

Nha Trang now is one of the important cultural, economic and tourism centres of the south central coast of Vietnam.
