How to Travel to Phan Rang and Ninh Chữ: A Complete Guide

To travel to Phan Rang and Ninh Chữ, take a train to Tháp Chàm station or fly to Cam Ranh Airport. Cam Ranh Airport is 60 kilometers north, requiring a 1.5-hour taxi ride. A standard visit lasts two to three days. This timeframe allows you to see the historic Chăm towers, visit local grape vineyards, and rest on Ninh Chữ beach. The dry season runs from January to September, which is the best time for outdoor activities. Avoid the rainy season from October to November.

Po Klong Garai is a historic Chăm temple complex built in the late 13th century. It sits on Trầu Hill, about seven kilometers west of Phan Rang city center. The complex consists of three brick towers: the main tower, the gate tower, and the fire tower. Entry tickets cost from $1 (approximate) per person. Visitors should wear respectful clothing covering shoulders and knees. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat.

Phan Rang is the main grape-growing region in Vietnam. You can visit active vineyards along Highway 27 or near Thái An village. Ba Mọi vineyard and Thái An vineyard are open to public visits. Farmers grow purple Cardinal grapes and green grapes. Entry is usually free, but you can buy fresh grapes or grape syrup directly from the farmers. Prices for fresh grapes start from $2 (approximate) per kilogram. Ask a Trip2VN specialist to arrange a local farm tour.

Ninh Chữ beach is a ten-kilometer crescent of sand located east of Phan Rang city. Unlike neighboring Nha Trang, this beach remains quiet with few international tourists. The central public beach runs along Yên Ninh street. For a more secluded experience, travel north to Ninh Chữ bay or Ninh Chữ fishing village. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are popular here from November to April due to strong coastal winds. Contact us to get a quote for coastal resort stays.
