Phan Rang & Thap Cham
If you?re travelling Vietnam from north to south you?ll notice a big change in the vegetation as you approach the twin cities of Phan Rang and Thap Cham, joint capitals of Ninh Thuan province. The familiar lush green rice paddies are replaced with sandy soil supporting only scrubby plants. Local flora includes poinciana trees and prickly-pear cacti with vicious thorns. Famous for its production of table grapes, many of the houses on the outskirts of town are decorated with vines on trellises.

The area?s best-known sight (and a common stop on the Dalat?Nha Trang route) is the group of Cham towers known as Po Klong Garai, from which Thap Cham (Cham Tower) derives its name. There are other towers dotted about the countryside. This province is home to tens of thousands of Cham people, particularly in the vicinity of the twin cities. The Cham, like other ethnic minorities in Vietnam, suffer from discrimination and are usually poorer than their ethnic-Vietnamese neighbours. There are also several thousand Chinese in the area, many of whom come to worship at the 135-year old Quang Cong Pagoda (? Thong Nhat), a colourful Chinese temple in the town centre.

With both Hwy 1A and Hwy 20 (heading to the central highlands) passing through the towns, this is a good pit stop for either a coastal trip or the journey to Dalat. Nearby Ninh Chu Beach is another, quieter alternative.

It is becoming common that people are focusing the Vietnam for tourism and I am getting various suggestions to choose Vietnam as my next destination but I am unaware of latter and I think Vietnam is just a barren land eroded by US army 2 decades ago, if possible provide your pics when you last visited Vietnam and different places that you are mentioning in your post.

Vietnam was considered to be a battlefield but those days are gone. Now you will be surprised to know that Veitnam is one of those destinations where you will get a "peacefull", "serene" environment with a combination of relaxation plus adventure, indeed the perfect equation for an amazing holiday:)
