Curator’s statement
The Miami of Vietnam is Nha Trang Beach. It is one of my favorite destinations, as the foodie in me was in heaven and the artist in me was living for the streets lit up with bright colors. I was delighted when I learned they had a Disneyland-like amusement park there too that is on an island off the coast and is only reachable by an over-the-ocean cable car! It truly has it all from rooftop bars, high-rise luxury hotels with breathtaking ocean views, delicious fresh food, luxurious spas, ancient temples and a long stretch of stunning sandy beaches. All of this for a fraction of the cost; live lavishly without breaking the bank. Immerse yourself in the vibrant Vietnamese culture while enjoying the ocean breeze with a coconut drink in hand and your toes in the sand. Experience everything you could dream of on a beach vacation in the beautiful oasis of Nha Trang.

Need to know
I highly recommend trying a seafood restaurant where they have the sea creatures on display in aquariums. It looks a little intimidating at first but I had the best lobster I've ever had in my life at one of these restaurants. The lobster with the local tamarind sauce is one of my favorite meals to date!
