Extract from the Nha Trang Travel Guides:
Nestled below the bottom lip of the Cai River, some 260km north of Phan Thiet,
NHA TRANG
has earned its place on Vietnam's tourist mainline partly on merit and partly owing to its location. By the time the Nguyen lords wrested this patch of the country from Champa in the mid-seventeenth century, the intriguing
