Encyclopedic overview

Nha Trang ( English: /ˌnjɑːˈtræŋ/ or /ˌnɑːˈtræŋ/; Vietnamese: [ɲaː1 t͡ɕaːŋ1] ) is a coastal city and the former capital of Khánh Hòa Province, on the South Central Coast of Vietnam. It was bounded on the north by the Ninh Hoà town, on the south by Cam Ranh city and on the west by Diên Khánh District. The city had a population of about 535,000 people in 2023.

Historically, the city was known as Kauthara under rule of the Kingdom of Champa. The city is still home to the famous Po Nagar Towers built by the Champa. Being a coastal city, Nha Trang is a center for marine science based at the Nha Trang Oceanography Institute. The Hon Mun marine protected area is one of four first marine protected areas in the world admitted by the IUCN.
