Brick temple towers built between the 7th and 12th centuries by the Cham people, on a hill above the mouth of the Cái River in Nha Trang. They're still an active place of worship, dedicated to the goddess Yan Po Nagar. Dress respectfully, with shoulders and knees covered, and remove your shoes in the main tower.


There's a view over the fishing boats in the river below. Nha Trang is a beach city with a long sandy beach, cheap fresh seafood and lively beach bars.
