A well-known spot
of scenic beauty, the Rock Hon Chong is not only attractive to
visitors to Nha Trang but also no less allure to the local
inhabitants, children as well as grown-ups who have made frequent
visits to this place.
In vernacular, it means the "Husband Rock",
the name given to one of the two rocks, the couple, the other one is
the wife. This stone couple is always open wide to visitors, who
come in hundreds every day, and through different in moods and
tastes, they never leave the spot unsatisfied.
The Hon Chong is among the key places in tours to Nha Trang. It is
quite near central Nha Trang, only one kilometer from the Po Nagar
Temple (The Thap Ba).
A glimpse of the area will help you distinguish the two prominent
groups of rocks thrusting out from the shore, the smaller one being
the Hon Vo (the wife) to the southwest and the other one, the Hon
Chong (the husband) facing the open sea.
As a bridge to help them
meet, a row of smaller rocks, stones, pebbles and corals pave the
way for their reunion, this ill-fated legendary couple.
