There are many coastal resorts in the world where you can have a wonderful swim and sunbathe. There are cities famous for their attractions. There is no shortage of places where divers from all over the world flock to dive into the abyss of water to explore the local fauna and flora. Some people are preoccupied with their state of health and seek medical resorts, while others travel the world as part of gastronomic tours. The Vietnamese city of Nya Chang meets the needs of all categories of tourists. Here, as in the notorious Greece, there is everything: healing mud and mineral waters, white as refined sugar, beaches, numerous islands and coral reefs.
The resort is located in Central Vietnam, in the province of Han Hoa. A thousand kilometers separate it from the capital, and about 500 km from the largest city of South Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. Nya Chang Bay, dotted with many small islands, is on the list of thirty of the most beautiful bays in the world. Sunbathers are attracted by the fact that there are absolutely no typhoons and storms. The monsoon climate is smoothed out by the Chiong Sean mountains, which take on the blow of the elements and delay rain and wind. Although air and sea are suitable for swimming all year round, the beach season lasts from March to November.
Warm, deep, calm, without dangerous currents, the sea and many islands and reefs attract divers here. If you don’t know how to scuba dive and are not even very good at diving with a mask, then you can join a sea excursion on a glass bottom boat. A trip to the Swallow Islands will give you three pleasures at once: swimming and relaxing on deserted white beaches, getting to know the underwater world and lunch, where the main dish will be soup from salangans nests - a special kind of swallows. Nya Chang is the birthplace of this dish, and on the Swallow Islands there is even a temple dedicated to the collectors of Yen bird nests (the local name for this species of swallows).
But not only bird's nests make Nya Chang a stop and a key point in gastronomic tours. The local waters are fabulously rich in seafood and fish. Thousands of boats await Europeans at the local port for fishing, while king and tiger prawns, lobsters, crabs, abalones and scallops are cheap on the market . All this freshest produce in grilled, fried or baked form is served in numerous restaurants right on the waterfront for ridiculous money.
Three kilometers from the city beat healing springs Chapba. The health complex built on them is famous throughout Vietnam. Nya Chang, whose hotels are designed for people with different incomes, often offer trips to sources for treatment. The complex offers mud and mineral baths, a Charcot shower and a mineral water pool. Staying in a hydropathic center helps with diseases of the joints, spine, eliminates skin diseases, and also has beneficial effects on nerves, liver, and bronchi.
Those who are not interested in the culture and history of Vietnam should also visit Nya Chang. Reviews highly recommend going to the Po Nagar towers. The mysterious people of Cham erected them on the site of the disappeared Hindu temple between the 7th and 12th centuries. The second attraction of the city can be seen from afar: the Longshon Temple is crowned with a statue of a giant Buddha sitting on a blossoming lotus flower. Young travelers will surely enjoy excursions to Monkey Island and the Aquarium.
