Nha Trang districts: which one to choose
Since 1 July 2025 the former city of Nha Trang has been split into four wards (phường): Nha Trang, Bắc Nha Trang, Tây Nha Trang and Nam Nha Trang (Resolution No. 1667/NQ-UBTVQH15). Listings and locals still use the old neighbourhood names, and that is how people choose where to live. Below are the five districts people search for most.

Where Russian speakers live
There is no single "Russian district" in Nha Trang. Most Russian speakers live in the centre near the beachfront and in the north, around Hòn Chồng. There is no Russian consulate in Nha Trang: the nearest consulates general are in Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
Bãi Dài is not Nha Trang
Bãi Dài beach belongs to Cam Lâm, not to Nha Trang: about 31 km from the centre and 8 km from Cam Ranh airport.
