Strolling through Nha Trang, it is not difficult to notice the huge ancient architectural complex in the northern part of the city. Embodying the cultural and historical values of Cham Kingdom, this relic is definitely one of the must-go places on the list of top things to do in Nha Trang if you have ever planned to visit this city.

History & the footmarks of Hindus

Located on the top of Cu Lao mountain near Cai river entrance, Ponagar Tower is part of the greatest historic complexes in the old Champa territory with the architecture influenced significantly by Hinduism. The whole architectural complex was estimated to be constructed between the 8th and 13th centuries in order to worship Yan Po Nagar – the country goddess, who was identified as an affiliation of the Hindu goddesses: Bhagavati and Durga, and called Thiên Y Thánh Mẫu in Vietnamese. This has become a unique example of a collective culture – the Champa, created by the harmony between two cultures, the ancient Vietnamese and Indian.

What to expect?

Ponagar Tower Festival

Ponagar Tower Festival takes place from 20 to 24 March in Lunar calendar annually. In this festival, due to the traditional religious practices and folk beliefs, everyone in the area, including both the locals and tourists, will gather around at the tower to pray and watch the dance performances and rituals of the ancient Cham people. Furthermore, the dancing shadow is also popular for the participation of an all Champa dance team. The famous dances of the Cham people, such as the water berths love, the sound of Saranai, Apsara and drum Ghi-Nang, are all performed during the festival, thus are considered a unique art heritage of the city. Therefore, if you are looking for the special old traditions of this area, the festival would be your best chance to discover its interesting culture and people.

Champa’s art architecture

The temple’s central sculpture is carved of a 1.2m tall stone as the image of the goddess Yan Po Nagar whose ten hands holding many symbolic items while wearing small cloth and sitting cross-legged. Another statue of the goddess, which is found in the triangle pediment above the temple entrance, is described as a goddess who stands on a buffalo with four hands holding a hatchet, a lotus and a club. Vietnamese historians claim that this particular form of sculptures is categorised as Tra Kieu style in Cham art, which was very popular by the end of the 10th century and the beginning of the 11th century.

These types of art can also be found in a number of architectural towers in the surrounding areas, such as Poshanu Tower in Phan Thiet. If you are interested in finding out more about the ancient culture of Cham people, you can just plan a day trip to Poshanu Tower – one of Mui Ne’s most famous attractions, which is only 2 to 3 hours away by bus, train or car from Nha Trang.

How to get there?

The whole complex is located approximately 3km to the north of Nha Trang city and takes only 8 minutes to get there from the city centre by car. You can just grab a traditional taxi or Grab with a very cheap price. However, if you are more like a rambler, you should take the beautiful 30-minute walk via Tran Phu bridge and enjoy the cool breezes from Nha Trang beaches. Don’t miss out the special adventure with a wide range of activities handcrafted just for you.

Nha Trang is no different from other cities of Vietnam in the sense that the city has got a great selection of local markets for travelers to explore and try their luck at bargaining.

PONAGAR TOWER: EXPERIENCE NHA TRANG’S MYTICAL LANDMARK

Markets are not only good for shopping for souvenirs and merch, they are also offer great insight into local culture and the day-to-day life of the locals. Here is some info on Nha Trang’s best markets. Take your time and explore each of these.

1/Dam Market

Dam Market (Cho Dam) is the largest and most popular one of all. With three floors full of stalls and boutique shops to explore, Dam Market is a bit of an overwhelming experience, but nevertheless a must-do. It is part tourist souvenir market and part local market.

You will find all sorts of merch, from clothes, shoes and bags to tourist trinkets, art, designer knockoffs, electronics, dried and packaged foods and food stalls. The dried seafood section is worth your time, because you will find some of Nha Trang’s most famous local specialties such as dried shrimp, squid and cuttlefish. Since this is a very popular destination for most tourists, prices may be a little inflated when quoted to you. Get your bargaining skills ready. However, do try not to haggle too much.

Remember that a dollar to us may be worth a meal to the locals. To avoid tourists and get a more local experience, visit early in the morning. Early hours are when Nha Trang’s residents go shopping. Plus, it’s a great way to avoid the midday heat.

2/ Xom Moi Market

For a more raw, local experience, head to Xoi Moi Market (Cho Xom Moi). Locals come here to shop for their groceries, household equipment and whatever else they need in their everyday life. Xom Moi Market is situated a little further away from the center of the city, so you’re gonna have to wake up a little early to get there around 7 a.m. which is when the market comes to life. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast here from the array of Vietnamese dishes the vendors sell in their stalls. These include pho, the de-facto national dish of Vietnam, and a local specialty called ‘bun ca’, a fish soup with rice vermicelli and fish balls. Don’t forget to buy some delicious fruits such as mangosteen (seasonal), milkfruit, rambutan and mango. If you do not like the smell of durian, you should probably avoid the food section or just hold your nose as you walk past.

3/Vinh Hai Market

While other markets are great if you enjoy being surrounded by locals going about their day, Vinh Hai Market (Cho Vinh Hai) serves those who prefer to steer clear of the crowds. Vinh Hai Market is not only smaller, but it is also more local than the other two mentioned above. Perhaps you may even be the sole foreigner around. Don’t be afraid if curious locals come up and talk to you. Since the market is not touristy, you won’t find as much merch as you might you find in typical tourist markets, like souvenirs or fake branded items. You will get the real authentic stuff, and for a much cheaper price.

4/Nha Trang Night Market

Of course, as with any other city in Vietnam, Nha Trang has a night market. What’s a little odd though is that it opens at 9 a.m., however it is most lively after the sun goes down. If during the day you were busy exploring all the beach that Nha Trang has to offer, and forgot to do some shopping, then the night market will be your chance. Like Dam Market, souvenirs, cheap clothes and all kinds of novelty items are sold in the stalls that line up and down the street. The night market will certainly be a great walk after a filling seafood dinner on the way to your next venue – possibly a pub to spend the night away.
