The waterfront and the "lotus tower" in Nha Trang and how to visit them

Description and is it worth a visit

Nha Trang Embankment is a favorite place for walking at any time of the day, both the residents of the city and its guests. The wide park area is beautifully decorated with greenery and sculptures, manicured lawns and lawns, fountains and benches. The length of the continuous embankment line is about 4 kilometers, and in total – almost 6 kilometers. In our opinion, this is the best promenade in the whole of Vietnam, there is definitely nothing like this in terms of scale and length here.

In the morning and afternoon people come here to spend time on the beach or just sit in the shade of palm trees and meditate overlooking the sea. And in the evening – take a walk, play sports or have a small picnic on the beach.

In the evenings, the embankment comes to life and blooms with illumination. Fountains are highlighted in different colors. Sometimes you can see entertainment performances here and there (performances, traditional games), however, they are held in Vietnamese and will be understood only by locals. Nevertheless, it will be pleasant and interesting for every tourist to touch the national culture, and even completely free of charge.

There are cafes along the embankment, but there are not many of them. In the evening, relaxation areas with poufs and tables on the sand and light music, or so-called chill-out cafes, are organized on the beach. Any vacationer can afford to sit there and relax under the sound of surf and music, the prices there are almost the same as in street cafes in the tourist area.

The central place on the embankment is a tower resembling an opening lotus bud, it is also called "lotus tower". However, in fact, this is the flower of the agar tree, so the tower is called Tram Huong or Agarwood Tower, it is the symbol of Nha Trang. There is a huge square in front of the tower, where local residents come to families so that children can ride roller skates, scooters, play ball and other outdoor games. On holidays and weekends, various city events are held on the square. Exhibitions of artists and photographers are held inside the tower, however, it is not always possible to get there, it is often closed. But if you're lucky, it's worth a visit.

Paid parking is provided for visitors on their own transport. There are a lot of them all along the embankment of the line, the cost is from 2000 to 10000 VND (0.08-0.38 USD). In some places you can even park for free, but you need to know such places. There are toilets, but they are paid - 10,000 VND (0.38 USD).
