Nha Trang has become a sought-after filming location in Vietnam, serving as the backdrop for many famous films. This has helped boost the city's reputation as a prime destination for filmmakers and tourists alike.
According to the Vietnam Cinema Association, with strong local support from authorities and businesses, Nha Trang has the potential to develop into a modern film hub with film villages, museums, studios, and state-of-the-art cinemas.
The city has already hosted major cinematic events like the Golden Kite Awards for three years in a row. Experts say with more investment and cooperation, Nha Trang could soon become the nation’s new cinematic centre.
The Vietnam Cinema Association has pledged to continue supporting the industry by organising scriptwriting camps and workshops, along with the annual Golden Kite Awards, providing more opportunities for local filmmakers.
Meanwhile, Khanh Hoa Province is pursuing a sustainable strategy to align its film and tourism industries, ensuring both sectors grow together.
With its coastal charm, Nha Trang is gradually earning its spot on the cinematic map, not just in Vietnam but across the region. Many believe it’s only a matter of time before this seaside city becomes a cultural and artistic symbol, and perhaps even Vietnam’s very own "film city"./.
