My Trip

Another Nha Trang beneath the beach-resort city — a route following the layered strata of faith where the Hindu Cham kingdom, French Gothic and Buddhism overlap. Especially meaningful for history and architecture buffs, and the photos come out spectacular.

Itinerary

1
Po Nagar Cham TowersTháp Bà Ponagar
Ruins · Temple · 60 min stay
The 8th–11th-century Cham Hindu temple complex and the core of this course. Brick towers enshrining the goddess Po Nagar (Yan Po Nagar) stand on the hill, still worshipped by Cham and Vietnamese alike. A living thousand-year ruin.

Long Son Pagoda & Hilltop White BuddhaChùa Long Sơn
Downtown · Temple · 50 min stay
Nha Trang's signature Buddhist temple. Climb 152 steps to a huge white seated and reclining Buddha overlooking the city. Free and central, it's also an excellent viewpoint.

3
Nha Trang Cathedral (Stone Church)Nhà thờ Núi
Downtown · Cathedral · Architecture · 40 min stay
A Gothic stone church the French built on a rocky hill in the 1930s. The grey-granite exterior and stained glass feel like Europe transplanted into Southeast Asia. One axis of Nha Trang's faith history running Cham to French.
