Fascinating
Jan 2020 • Friends
Yes these are well worth a look as are fascinating and just have a great feeling about them when one is there.
The entrance fee is low at 20,000 dong so that everyone can afford to enter there.
You get a souvenir plastic ticket but this is kept by the machine at the entrance to use again!
There is a small coffee and cold drinks bar there which again is very reasonably priced - try the local coffee with condensed milk!
Have a good look around at the bonsai and inside the towers.
There could have been explanation boards in English that would have been good for tourists.
There is a stall selling souvenirs that does not want to trade and didn’t seem friendly so would avoid if I were you.
Overall a great place to visit and would highly recommend.
Enjoy.

For what it’s worth
Aug 2020 • Solo
This place is beautiful and a definite must see if you visit Nha Trang. Small room where there are some things written in English to help better understand the symbols of each tower, I would have liked there to be something more substantial in English to learn with regards to the history of the towers. But I suppose this can be learnt from Google.

A piece of history in Nha Trang
Feb 2020 • Couples
Has to be visited as (I think the only one) historical place in Nha Trang itself. We went tbere with a Grab Taxi(this is an App for Asia to bkkk a transport) just over the bridge for 41000 VDN. Worth seeing!

Place of Worship
Nov 2019
Because it is still an active temple, it has a lot of people. Those that come to Worship and those that come as tourists. Beautiful authentic structures that you can actually go inside (without shoes) the complex is not that large and doesn’t take that long to see everything. We took a lot of interesting photos as there is a lot of art displayed along the walking paths.

A must visit place
Feb 2020 • Couples
This is a great place to visit and appreciate the beautiful architecture of the buildings and the peaceful surroundings of the garden. We also enjoyed the performance by the dancers. Visitors can enter the temples and see the elaborate buddhas and shrines and if not appropriately dressed there are smocks you can use. It was quiet the afternoon we visited as the coronavirus is having an effect on tourism. There is a showroom with a lot of photographs and some costumes. This would be an ideal place for information boards about the history of the place and its current use and status in Vietnam. Well worth a visit and then a walk along the river.

Something for everyone
Jan 2020
Po Nagar Cham Towers, gives a very good idea of building many years ago, without having to go to Angkor Wat.
Downside was, it was very very crowded, had no chance to take a pic without at least 20 people on it.
Pity, but understandable.

Fascinating Historical Site
Jan 2020 • Couples
The temple was really beautiful and nice. Great for photo-taking. Had to pay a small entrance fee to get in, but definitely worth it. Although the area was small, it was still really nice with a great view at the top. The place can be a bit crowded at times. There’s souvenir shops and a bar to buy drinks. You can even enter the temple with proper attire that’s given. Apparently there are dancers who will perform but unfortunately I did not get to watch the performance. Still, a trip that’s worth going. Also, there’s a lot of walking and steps to get to the temple

Amazing 8th Century Shiva temple
Dec 2019
It was interesting to see one of the old Hindu temples in Vietnam. There were Shivalingas on the towers and Champa dance every hour. Beautiful view from the top. Local people visit and offer prayers. Lord Shiva and the Goddess Devi, The Mother Earth deity was decorated very beautifully.. Peaceful place.

Nice view, ancient structure but too crowd!
Apr 2019
There is a wide and nice view here when you first step on the stairs. The struture is ancient, good-looking on the photos (by nice colors) but too crowd, most of them were Chinese travelers. Small fee for entering and parking (motorbikes). Easy to visit or find the way there.
