Hi,

Are there any places to visit, any activities, any events or festivals regularly organized you would like to recommend?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience, ;)

Hi,
For a start its 23 degs instead of 38 like here in Nha Trang.  The evenings get down to 18, nice and cool and a good break from the heat.

You've got the Pagodas, the waterfalls, crazy house, markets, and the lake in town to walk around, just to mention a few. Also some scenic rides in the area. 

There's a guy Curtis King (google it) he is a top musician, has a good band and has entertainment at two venues he owns.  Check out when he plays at V cafe and the Escape Bar.

Walk the length of Phan Dinh Phuong and 3 Truong 2, stopping occasionally to browse or have a cup of tea/coffee; tour Crazy House; head out of town to a waterfall or three; catch the night market (weekend nights they close off a few streets); and relax...
