Nha Trang - Da Lat 2 Days 1 Night

The name Nha trang is a Vietnamese pronunciation of a Cham word Eatran orYjatan. Ea or Yja means river, and tran means reed. According to the locals,there once were a lot of reeds along Ngoc Hoi river. The river winds its waythrough the town. Ngoc Hoi was later renamed Nha Trang river.
Another theory of the origin of Nha Trang's name has a more amusing twist. Longago, in this part of the country, all the houses were made out of the reeds andmud gathered from Ngoc Hoi river. The only house that was made out of brickswere the house belonging to Dr. Yersin, a French immunologist who made his homehere. The house itself was painted prominently white and could be seen byvessels coming from far away. Once there was a foreign vessel passing by. Thecaptain asked his translator where he was. The translator not knowing where theywere blurted out Nha` tra('ng or white house in Vietnamese. The captain dulynoted on his chart Nha Trang. Because most foreign languages do not make use oftones, the captain's name for this part of the country stuck.
