My first visit to Nha Trang, the coastal city, was three years ago. It was a pleasant and memorable trip. Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa province, has one of the most popular municipal beaches in all of Vietnam. In Nha Trang, nature beauties are so tempting. Waves crashing onto the cliffs; the soft sigh of the sea breeze; clean white sands and turquoise waters; it all makes for a stunning landscapes. On my visit to Nha Trang, I used to get up early each morning to stroll along the beach - a chance to breath in the fresh sea air and enjoy the sunrise across the water. One attraction that captivated me three years ago and still it does is the collection of small offshore islands. Hon Tre is the largest of the islands, and Monkey island is, as the name suggests, the home of hundreds of wild monkeys. Yen island is known for its swifts’ nests. Nha Trang is one of the greatest holiday destination. I hope to have chance to come back.

Lần đầu tiên tôi đến Nha Trang, một thành phố ven biển đầy mê đắm, là vào một ngày hè ba năm trước đây. Đó là một chuyến đi vô cùng thoải mái và đáng nhớ. Nha Trang, là thành phố của tỉnh Khánh Hòa, là một trong những bãi biển đẹp nhất và nổi tiếng nhất tại Việt Nam. Nha Trang có nét đẹp tự nhiên vô cùng hấp dẫn. Sóng xô vào vách đá; gió biển thổi man mác; bờ cát sạch trắng xóa và nước màu lam; tất cả tạo nên một cảnh quan vô cùng tuyệt đẹp. Trong suốt chuyến đi Nha Trang, mỗi sáng tôi dậy sớm và đi dạo dọc bờ biển - cơ hội để hít thở trong không khí biển trong lành và thưởng ngoạn cảnh mặt trời nhô lên từ mặt nước. Một điểm thú vị đã thu hút tôi từ 3 năm trước đến tận bây giờ đó quần thể hải đảo nhỏ. Hòn Tre là đảo lớn nhất của quần đảo và đảo Khỉ nơi là nhà của hàng trăm con khỉ hoang dã. Đảo Yến nơi tiếng là nơi cư trú của hàng nghìn con chim yến. Nha Trang là một trong những điểm đến tuyệt vời nhất cho kỳ nghỉ. Tôi hy vọng sẽ có cơ hội để quay trở lại nơi đó trong dịp gần nhất.

Good luck!
