1. Black Island

This is one of the famous tourist islands in Nha Trang. Black Island is the earliest marine reserve established in Nha Trang. Soft and hard coral groups and coral fish are the main ones. Most of the time it is calm, but occasionally there will be weak currents, which is more suitable for beginners or those who want to experience diving.

Hantan Island Amusement Park is an island with very complete facilities. The island has beautiful beaches, clear water, and a 2,400 square meter sea view swimming pool. , mini golf course, sea view seafood barbecue buffet restaurant, exotic singing and dancing, etc. It is very interesting to think about it.

The Phu Quoc Island diving area is a newly developed tourist island. There are not many people here and the water quality is relatively good. However, the transportation facilities and diving equipment are still not as mature as Nha Trang Black Island.

3. Da Nang Diving Island

Cham Island in Da Nang is mainly for snorkeling. When the weather is good for snorkeling on Cham Island, the water quality is still very clear, and you can clearly see the corals and small fish underwater. However, the temperature here is not suitable for snorkeling all year round, and it is more suitable from July to October. Diving. Notes

1. Be sure to wear sunscreen!!!

2. There are roughly three types of rental companies in Vietnam: yellow, green and blue, and others It is said that they are all black cars

And Vietnamese drivers work in uniforms (that is, wearing shirts) and generally do not charge extravagantly. Due to the relatively high exchange rate, taking a bus almost always costs hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese dong. You have to figure it out clearly. Last time my parents and I took a bus, the driver overpaid us by about 50rmb

3 , Be sure not to buy Lobster Granny’s.

It is said that they are made of dead shrimps, and eating them will cause diarrhea. There are still many Internet celebrity restaurants in Vietnam. If you want to find something to eat, just look for it in the public. The slightly more expensive Western restaurants are only 100 per person, and the local food is only 40 per person, which is completely enough.

Let’s post some pictures, hey, it’s really fun

4. Let’s talk about currency exchange first. The current international exchange rate is basically 1:3300, but Nha Trang Airport is based on 1:3300. :3240 to exchange. When you return to your country, exchange according to 1:3500. You will lose money in this process. So tips: 1. Don’t exchange too many Vietnamese dong at the airport. Just exchange 500 RMB per person. If you don’t spend all the money, you will lose money. You can change it around the hotel where you are staying;

5. Many merchants accept RMB, and there will also be prices corresponding to RMB;

6. If you have a lot of Vietnamese dong left , it may be more appropriate to exchange it at the hotel. If it can only be exchanged at the airport, it may be more appropriate to exchange it for US dollars instead of RMB.

7. As for the local attraction tickets, you can buy them there and the price is about the same as booking in advance. If you are traveling semi-independently, it is not recommended to pick up from the ground to Silk Island or Blue Island because their asking prices are high. We At that time, it cost less than RMB 240 to pick up and drop off by chartered car, but it cost RMB 350 to pick up someone on the ground with the group.

August and December are the rainy seasons, so umbrellas and raincoats are a must. Nha Trang is very small. To buy things, you can go to a supermarket in the "Nha Trang Center". Small food is cheaper than around the hotel, but there will be a tax at the checkout.
