Notable tourist destinations in South Central Vietnam includes resort towns and a hill station, now receiving a steadily growing stream of tourists. You can find here some of the finest beaches in Vietnam, in particularly the 18-km stretch of fine white sand between Phan Thiet to Mui Ne. Famous for its seafood is the resort town of Nha Trang, your base to visiting an offshore archipelago.
If you want to escape the heat, then head for the hill station of Dalat, established as a retreat by the French during colonial times. Farther inland are towns where you can visit the local hill tribes such as the Bahnar Ede, and Jarai people. Their traditional dwellings are also worth checking out, in particular the Bahnar longhouse, called the nha rong.
South Central Vietnam suffered immensely from the Vietnam War. The memorial at Son My stands today to commemorate those who perished in the My Lai Massacre.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
