When the boats come in
Before most of the city is awake, the night's fishing boats return to Nha Trang. A portrait of the hour when the catch is landed, sorted and sold on the sand.

Working life
Before most of the city is awake, the night's fishing boats return to Nha Trang. A portrait of the hour when the catch is landed, sorted and sold on the sand.

Markets

Island life

Morning rituals
Long before the sunbeds go out, the city beach belongs to locals. Swimmers, walkers and exercise groups make the early morning the liveliest hour on the sand.

Street life
From breakfast noodles to late-night snacks, much of Nha Trang is fed by street vendors with carts, baskets and portable stoves. A portrait of the city's moving kitchens.

The best hour in Nha Trang is the one before six in the morning.
