Nha Trang bay
A turquoise crescent of beach backed by mountains — the coast's resort hub with islands just offshore, dive sites and snorkeling scattered across the bay.
关于Khánh Hòa
Khánh Hòa is now a merged province spanning turquoise bays and island dive sites from Nha Trang to Cam Ranh, and inland to the Chăm temples of Phan Rang and the volcanic plateau of the old Ninh Thuận highlands — a region where sea and sand meet ancient history.
Nha Trang beach curves in a perfect arc, islands scatter just offshore, and the water glows turquoise in the midday sun. South, Vĩnh Hy bay runs quiet and unmanicured, while the Chăm towers of Phan Rang speak of a kingdom older than any memory — their ancient stone still standing in a valley where the wind whispers history.
Khánh Hòa精选体验
Hon Chồng rock formation
Giant boulders piled on a rocky point where the land meets the sea — sunset views and a small temple perched on the rocks.
Island hopping & dive sites
Day boats tour the islands — coral reefs, tropical fish and clear water make for some of central Việt Nam's best diving and snorkeling.
Phan Rang Chăm towers
Ancient sandstone towers built by the Chăm kingdom — a sacred landscape of carved stone and lingering ritual presence, south of Nha Trang.
Vĩnh Hy bay
A quiet, arc-shaped bay tucked beneath the Núi Chúa massif north of Phan Rang — turquoise water, fishing boats and a shoreline resorts haven't reshaped.
Núi Chúa National Park
One of Southeast Asia's rare coastal dry forests — black-shanked douc langurs in the scrub, sea turtles nesting on remote beaches, and cliff trails down to hidden coves.
吃什么
Yến sào (swiftlet bird's nest)
Khánh Hòa's islands are Việt Nam's bird's-nest heartland — served as a delicate sweet soup, long prized as a tonic.
Bún sứa (jellyfish noodle soup)
Nha Trang's signature bowl — cool, crunchy jellyfish and fish cakes in a clear seafood broth, best on a hot noon.
Nem nướng Ninh Hòa
Grilled pork skewers rolled at the table with rice paper, greens and a thick dipping sauce — from the town of Ninh Hòa just north of Nha Trang.
Ninh Thuận grapes
The sunniest corner of Việt Nam grows its best grapes — visit the trellised vineyards near Phan Rang and taste them off the vine.
贴士与问答

How long should I spend in Khánh Hòa?
3–5 days — 2–3 in Nha Trang (beach, islands, diving), 1–2 south in Phan Rang and Vĩnh Hy bay.
When is the best season?
January–September is ideal for sea conditions and diving. October–December brings swell and some typhoons; generally still swimmable.
How do I get to Phan Rang and Vĩnh Hy?
Phan Rang is ~100km south of Nha Trang (~2h); the coast road via Cam Ranh and the Núi Chúa cliffs is one of the prettiest drives in the south.
Is Nha Trang only for diving?
No — the beach is beautiful, Hon Chồng is a scenic day trip, and island boat tours don't require diving. Diving is optional.
Do I need permits to visit Phan Rang towers?
No — it's an open archaeological site. A local guide can explain the Chăm history and architecture.
