Hidden Gems of Nha Trang: Stories, Sights & Street Food
Hi! I’m a Vietnamese local who has been living in Nha Trang for many years. Although I wasn’t born here, I’ve explored every corner of this city and truly call it my home. I love introducing travelers to the real side of Nha Trang not just the beaches and big-name attractions, but the hidden spots, daily street life, and the small things that locals enjoy every day. I'm not a professional tour guide, but more like a local friend who can show you around, share stories, street food tips, and connect you with the local vibe. Let’s walk, chat, and discover the soul of this beautiful coastal city together!

We’ll meet at the main entrance of Dam Market (Chợ Đầm), located in Vạn Thạnh ward, Nha Trang City. It’s a large circular building with a wide open space in front – very easy to recognize. I usually dress in a casual beach-friendly style: light-colored shirt, dark or neutral shorts, sneakers, and a black cap – comfortable but still neat and respectful. I’ll be around the entrance area and will greet you with a smile.
