Told by the legend that when Nguyen Anh Lord was in hardship and misery since he was defeated, chased by Tay Son soldiers while the troop was so lacking; food supplies ran out and he thought he would die in this place, luckily, there was a well-off woman in My Hiep village (Ninh Hoa) who kindly fed and showed him the way to escape to the South. Many years later, after defeating the Tay Son Dynasty and becoming king, the king remembered the merits of the woman and wanted to show his gratitude toward her; however, she was no longer alive. In remembrance of her gratitude, the king appointed her the Wet nurse, and at the same time allocated excellent builders to construct the palace in Hue and skilled builders in Khanh Hoa to go to My Hiep village to build her mausoleum.

Location: The pottery village of Trung Dong is part of Van Binh commune, Van Ninh district, some 03km to the north of Van Gia town.

The Khanh Hoa raw fish dish is not as famous as the traditional La Vong grilled fish known to Hanoi, but it still has a unique quality.

Ninh Hoa is a coastal district of Khanh Hoa Province, right to the north of Nha Trang. The area is famous for its food specialties - Nem chua (fermented pork roll) and Nem nuong (grilled meatballs).

Huynh De sea crab is very rare and expensive, because it's very meaty and sweet. It has a special shape like a small turtle, with its head, shell and body connected together.

Nha Trang is naturally a seafood haven, and there is a wide variety of excellent eateries to keep you busy for weeks. There are so many choices that if you are a seafood lover, make sure to have a list in order not to miss out on any good places. The tip is to go to eateries frequented by locals.
