About 40 kilometres from Nha Trang, Yang Bay lies amid the mountains and forests of Khanh Vinh, Khanh Hoa Province.

It is known for its clear waterfalls and lush surroundings. But beyond nature, visitors can also relax, enjoy memorable experiences and discover local culture on their journey into the highlands. The report tells more.

At Yang Bay, visitors can enjoy a range of experiences, from adventure and animal encounters to family-friendly activities. These include crocodile feeding, bottle-feeding Koi fish and exciting pig races.

Maria, Russian tourist said: "It's great. This is my second time here with my family, and I've won this game both times"

For those seeking wellness experiences, a hot mineral bath is not to be missed. At Yang Bay, the natural Ho-cho hot spring emerges at around 55 degrees Celsius. After impurities are removed, the water is cooled to around 45 degrees, making it suitable for relaxation and offering health benefits.

Duong The Phong, Tourist, Ho Chi Minh City said: I feel the mineral water is very good for the skin. The bath is refreshing and leaves me feeling full of energy.

As the last rays of sunlight fade, Yang Bay takes on a new atmosphere. Lights from the wooden houses reflect on the quiet lake. Dinner features local mountain flavours, including stream prawns, river fish, free-range chicken, and traditional vegetable soup. The sound of gongs and graceful Raglai traditional dances offer a cultural experience for visitors staying overnight in the mountains.

"Yang Bay has a clear message: to preserve Raglai ethnic culture and introduce it to both domestic and international visitors", said Vo Thanh Chuyen, Head of Business Department, Yang Bay Tourism Park, Khanh Hoa Province.

Yang Bay is becoming a notable destination in Khanh Hoa, offering visitors more than the province's familiar coastal attractions. Its combination of natural landscapes, wellness experiences and Raglai culture creates a diverse tourism experience.

The site also adds a highland dimension to Khanh Hoa's growing tourism offer.
