Coastal city a paradise for travellers
By Do Minh ThuIt was long time no see when I finally set foot in Nha Trang City airport.
The city seemed to have put on a colourful coat. Banners and pictures celebrating the Nha Trang Sea Festival (June 11-15), which draws a multitude of both local and foreign tourist bi-annually, covered roadside walls all the way to the city centre.
A German tourist, having visited Nha Trang once before, expressed his delight at the chance to attend the sea festival.
"I want to experience the city amidst a different set of circumstances," he said, adding that, "during the festival the peaceful and quiet city is filled with street performances and artists."
The 200km Khanh Hoa coastline includes numerous pristine beaches with clear water, no dangerous fish and no riptides.
Mountains sloping down into the sea make for a dramatic backdrop while providing natural wind buffers to Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, Van Phong and Nha Phu.
This year's sea festival was kicked off with the Salanganes Festival, focused on the Hon Noi and Hon Ngoai Islands, open from February to September every year and home to scores of salanganes whose legendary nests are used to make the most divine soup.
The annual festival, held on the 10th day of the fifth lunar month (this year being June 11), is dedicated to the islands' governor, Le Thi Huyen Tram (1753-93) and her ancestor, General Le Van Dat.
While Dat discovered the value of and trade in salanganes nests in 1328, his descendant Tram, a female general in the Tay Son Navy during the 18th century, sacrificed her life to protect the salanganes islands and the Khanh Hoa sea territory. In reverence to the general, locals proclaimed her a Goddess in the hope that she would continue watching over the land, sea, salanganes and nest collectors.
As part of festivities, a ritual worshipping ceremony and performances are organised in the early morning.
Tourists seldom miss out on an opportunity to visit the famous islands and discover the kingdom of salanganes.
While the Hon Noi and Hon Ngoai islands lie close together, Hon Ngoai can only be seen from the boat while visitors are allowed on to Hon Noi in order to visit the caves where the salanganes build their nests and from which the nests are collected.
