VietnamDescription and is it worth a visit
The grave of Alexander Ersin in Nha Trang is the real burial place of the most famous bacteriologist of European origin in Vietnam, Alexander Ersin. It is noticeable that the grave is being looked after, everything looks well-groomed and clean. The grave is nothing special, it's just a modest tombstone and benches in a shady forest.
Yersin spent a third of his life in Vietnam, lived and worked in Saigon, Hanoi. His research work led to the formation of the city of Dalat, which was originally organized as a medical resort due to its mild climate. The scientist died in Nha Trang on March 1, 1943 at the age of 79. Streets in different cities of Vietnam are named after him, and in the center of Nha Trang there is a museum of Yersindedicated to his life and work.
To be honest, this is not at all the attraction for which it is worth going so far, but the importance of the scientist and his services to Vietnam can hardly be overestimated. So if you like little-known tourist places and will pass by, then you can take a look.
