History Nha Trang Vietnam

During the development of history, generations of Khanh Hoa residents have united, joined forces, and worked together in production, fighting against foreign invaders to build a rich and beautiful homeland. They have created unique architectural works, valuable historical - cultural relics such as communal houses, temples, pagodas, towers, temples, ancient citadels...
Nha Trang is the coastal city of Khanh Hoa province. Before becoming a part of Vietnam, Nha Trang belonged to Chiem Thanh. The relics of the Chiem people still exist in many places in Nha Trang such as Cham towers and Ponagar towers.
In the early nineteenth century, Nha Trang city today is still a pristine beach with a fishing village with several thatched roofs in Con hamlet along the mouth of the Cai River. There is only one house built with 2 floors in white, which is the working house of Dr. Alexandre Yersin (Mr. Nam floor). People who come here by sea will see the white house first, Nha Trang is the " white house" called deviate.
That is the interpretation of the origin of the name Nha Trang by the admirers of A. Yersin is a special citizen of the city. According to many researchers, the name Nha Trang originates from the Cham language. It was Ea Tran or Yjatran. Ea or Yuja is the river. Tran is a mop (Lau River). Called that because, in the past, the mop grew on both sides of the Cai River and poured into the estuary of Cu Huan (now Nha Trang). Gradually it was called deviating into Nha Trang. The name of the river later became the name of the land, then used for the whole bay to embrace and beautify the land.
Nha Trang is used in books written before the French colonial period. In the episode " Phuong Dinh Du Chien" by Nguyen Sieu Tu Duc Dynasty, translated by Ngo Manh Nghinh, the section on Khanh Hoa province clearly states that: " In the year of the Ox, the army regained Binh Khang and joined the army, and invaded Quy Nhon. At the time the monks built the land in the capital of Nha Trang, it was called the Dien Khanh citadel, the mountains and rivers were really dangerous, and the custom was to call Nha Trang into "
In the unified Dai Nam of Cao Xuan Duc compiled in the Duy Tan period, Nha Trang is also mentioned. But it is not the name of the city but the name of a source of the Cu Giang river: the source of Nha Trang, the valley of Nha Trang (today's Nha Trang bay). Before 1924, the present-day Nha Trang was in Vinh Xuong district, Khanh Hoa province. In 1924, King Khai Dinh instigated the establishment of Nha Trang town.

On 2-4-1975, Khanh Hoa province was liberated. On April 6, 1975, Khanh Hoa Provincial Military Commission split Vinh Trang into 3 administrative units. Nha Trang town was previously divided into 2 districts (District I and District II) and the old Vinh Xuong district was changed to the Vinh Xuong district. In September 1975, the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province decided to merge District I and District II, taking Vinh Nguyen, Vinh Truong, Vinh Hai, and Vinh Phuoc wards of Vinh Xuong district to establish Nha Trang town.

" Nha Trang's terrain is very beautiful. There is rarely a land that faces the sea. There are 5 mountains around, solidly shielded like here" said doctor Kieu Xuan Cu. He was originally from Khanh Hoa, participated in the revolution since 1945. Another person in Nha Trang for a long time had a habit of monitoring the weather affirmed: " Here the temperature fluctuates in a day only from 6-8 degrees C" He explained in his own way: " I' ve been monitoring for years. If the night is 20 degrees cold, the next day it will be only 26-28 degrees hot. I have 2 thermometers to keep indoors and out in the garden." The stability of the weather plus the airiness of a sunny and sunny coastal city all year round shows that nature also "supports" this land with outstanding advantages to develop into a tourist paradise.
