Leaving behind natural landscapes in Mui Ne, vacationers will visit Nha Trang for a cultural taste of temples. The tour provider will arrange a trip to Long Son Pagoda and then the Po Nagar and Po Klong Giarai Cham Towers in the region.
The itinerary will then enable tourists to explore not only pristine beaches there but also local daily practices and natural scenery of the bay, which is recognized one of the most beautiful bays in the world, such as Chong promontory, Mun and Tam Islands among others.
