Nha trang Holidays



Welcome to Vietnam’s ocean city! The capital of Khanh Hoa Province, Nha Trang sees a heavy local and international tourist influx, especially in the summer. The central beachside city area is quite busy and full of cheap guesthouses and small restaurants. The beach and its outlying islands have sprouted some fine new resorts. The surf isn’t bad (for frolic, not for surfing) along the vast crescent-shaped beach in Nha Trang’s central city, and the bright-blue vista is dotted by more than…

Shwemawdaw Pagoda, Bago Division, Myanmar

The Shwemawdaw Pagoda (also written Shwemawdaw Paya) in Bago is the tallest pagoda in Myanmar. The Shwemawdaw is 14 m higher than the Shwedagon of Yangon. The name Shwemawdaw means Great Golden God.
