Khanh Hoa Province especially Nha Trang City - is known as one of the most attracting coastlines in the southern centre of Vietnam. According to official statistics from the Kbanh Hoa Tourism and Trade Service, there are over 200 hotels and guesthouses with 4,700 rooms and 10,000 beds located throughout the province, waiting to welcome tourists. Depending on your schedule and budget, you will surely be able to find accommodation suitable to your requirements.
Top range
Ranked first is the 5-star Vin Pearl Resort and Spa (Bai Tru - Dam Gia), a luxury offshore eco-tourist village on Hon Tre Island.
Located right on the beach is the 4-star Ana Mandara Resort with room rates of $183-363 in low season and $209-398 in high season. This luxury 20ha resort is located right on the beach. 16 tropical-style villas, set in manicured gardens shaded by green banana leaves, offer guests the ultimate in comfort, tranquility and privacy. Further up Tran Phu Street, on the other side of the road, is the 4Star Yasaka Saigon Nha Trang Hotel. Room rates range from $98-198. Panoramas of Nha Trang port to the south and the surrounding spectacular mountain range can be viewed from the top of this towering hotel.
Middle range
There are four 3-star hotels and ten 2-star hotels with standard facilities, located in streets along Tran Phu (running parallel to the beach) and on streets just off the beach. Room rates range from $20-100. Each one, such as Bao Dai Villas, Nha Trang Lodge, Duy Tan, Khatoco or the Vien Dong - to name but a few - offer good services and location.
Budget
Guesthouses or mini-hotels can offer tourists room rates of $5-15. They are particularly located on Biet Thu or Nguyen Thien Thuat streets, now known as “pho tay” - streets of foreigners! These are located a few blocks back from the beach. Services vary from hotel to hotel and room rates fluctuate according to the season. In the low season (such as November to December), you can bargain. In fact, if you take time to check a few hotels first, you may find yourself a good deal.
Island resorts
Khanh Hoa is not only popular for its beaches and clear azure sea, but also for its islands. Accommodation is now available on some of the islands. Hon Tam offers the best facilities. It's better to book in advance if you are staying a while, because of the limited number of rooms. Accommodation with basic facilities is also available on Hon Ong, Hon Lao Islands. On some islands, there is no electricity and drinking water is still transported from the mainland, but staying on an island is a different experience altogether. It's away from the crowds, you are surrounded by the silence of the ocean and have a chance to interact with local life. |

The land of Hung Yen was inhabited by human beings a long time ago, along with the building-up of the Red River...
During Hung Kings period, Hung Yen belonged to Giao Chi area, Du Chien district. Under the Ngo dynasty, it was called Dang Chau. It was then renamed Thai Binh phu (phu is an administrative unit) under the Former Le dynasty, Dang Chau and Khoai Chau phu under the Ly dynasty and Long Hung lo (lo is an administrative unit) and Khoat lo under the Tran dynasty. Under the Late Le dynasty, Hung Yen belonged to Son Nam and then divided into Son Nam Thuong lo and Son Nam Ha lo.
The Nguyen dynasty implemented administrative reforms in 1831 to dismantle tran (tran is an administrative unit) and establish provinces. Five districts of Dong Yen, Kim Dong, Thien Thi, Phu Cu and Tien Lu were separated from Khoai Chau phu of Son Nam Thuong tran and three districts of Than Khe, Duyen Ha and Hung Nhan were separated from Tien Hung phu of Nam Dinh tran of lower Son Nam town to establish Hung Yen province. The initial center of the province was located in An Vu and Luong Dien communes and then moved to Nhi Tan of Xich Dang commune (now Hung Yen town). This area has favourable transport conditions with communes and markets lying side by side, enabling trading activities to be busier and busier. "The streets are very busy and bustle, crowded with vehicles; the old images of Pho Hien in Son Nam can been seen now in this land" (extracted from Chronicle of Hung yen province).
The name Hung Yen officially appeared in the directory of the country in 1831. For that reason, prior to the French invasion into Vietnam, Hung Yen was a province located on both sides of the Luoc River. Since its establishment, the province's territory has changed many times.
On March 27, 1833, French troops led by Captain Henri Riviere moved along the Red River from Hanoi and defeated Nam Dinh citadel. He then demanded Sub lieutenant De Trentinian to lead a unit of troops to attack Hung Yen citadel. After the occupying Hung Yen, they made many efforts to strengthen their henchmen government and establish various troop stations on one hand while speeding up the measuring and mapping work for deep involvement into communes and hamlets. However, they met many difficulties as confronting resistance by the Bai Say Revolt. In 1890, the French set up the Bai Say area consisting of Yen My, Yen Hao, Van Lam and Cam Luong districts for the purpose of easier suppression. After the failure of the Bai Say rebellion, they merged Van Lam, Yen My and Yen Hao districts into Hung Yen province and returned Cam Luong district (now Cam Giang) to Hai Duong province.
Also in 1890, the French split Than Khe district from Tien Hung phu of Hung Yen province and Thai Binh phu and Kien Xuong phu from Nam Dinh province and set up a new province called Thai Binh. Afterwards, they went on to cut Hung Nhan and Duyen Ha districts and transferred Tien Lu district (formerly belonging to Tien Hung area) to merge into Khoai Chau phu. Ever since, the Luoc river has served as the natural border between Hung Yen and Thai Binh. This period last from the French colonization to the August Revolution in 1945.
The French colonialists then returned to occupy the Bac Bo northern delta. To facilitate the leadership in the assistance war, in October 1947, the central government transferred Van Lam districts to Bac Ninh province and transferred Van Giang district of Bac Ninh to Hung Yen. In the following period, as the leadership for the destruction of the railroads was difficult, Van Lam district was returned to Hung Yen by Bac Ninh.
When the anti-French resistance war was won and peace was restored in the north, district-level administrative units remained unchanged, except the changes in the administrative names of some wards and communes.
On January 26, 1968, the Standing Committee of the National Assembly approved a resolution on the unification Hai Duong and Hung Yen into Hai Hung province. After that, Van Giang and Yen My districts were unified into Van Yen district; Tien Lu and Phu Cu districts were unified into Phu Tien district; Van Lam and My Hao districts were unified into Van My; Kim Dong and An Thi districts were unified into Kim Thi district. Van Yen and Van My districts were unified into My Van; Khoai Chau district and a part of Van Giang district were unified into Chau Giang district.
On November 6, 1996, the National Assembly approved the division of Hai Hung into Hai Duong and Hung Yen. After that, the unified districts were split as the former administrative units.
Hung Yen now has ten district and town-level administrative units: Hung Yen town, districts of Van Lam, Van Giang, My Hao, Yen My, Khoai Chau, An Thi, Kim Dong, Tien Lu and Phu Cu with 161 communes, districts and towns. |
