In another map dating to the 17th century, known as Giáp Ngọ Niên Bình Nam Đồ by a noble called Đoan Quận công Bùi Thế Đạt, the name Nha Trang Hải môn (Nha Trang Sea Gate) was also cited[4]. In Vietnamese recorded historic bibliographies, these books are perhaps the earliest ones that mentioned this place name.

It is far better than most Vietnamese costal towns (Mui Ne, Da Nang, Vung Tau etc.).

Even in the off season there is a buzz about Nha Trang. The 'Sailing Club', right on the beach, is not to be missed.
