On which ocean is Vietnam located? Vietnam what sea washes. Who's who in the series law of the stone jungle

Vietnam is not Indonesia or Miami, where real ocean waves wash the shores. But the South China Sea is very different from the well-known Black Sea, since it is not located inside the mainland, but only partially separated from Pacific Ocean islands, and it lives according to other laws that you need to know before entering the water.

First and most important rule: on beautiful and attractively deserted "wild" beaches, you can only admire the scenery, listen to the music of the waves and wander along the very edge of the surf. Swimming in an unfamiliar place is like playing Russian roulette. And here it doesn’t matter at all what sports category you were assigned in your student years!

Naturally, even in civilized areas of the coast, where lifeguards are on duty, no one guarantees you 100% safety. big water- the element is no more predictable than a hurricane. But following the recommendations will definitely not harm vacationers. Believe me, no one wants to spoil your vacation by forbidding you to enter the sea, which at first glance seems calm and safe. It's just that professionals on the tower have considerable experience and have more complete information about the weather, currents and underwater fauna. Hence the second rule: never ignore red flags and other lifeguard warnings.

The strength of the tides in the South China Sea is very high, the water here can “leave” by 10-11 meters, which significantly changes the behavior of the waves. Over and over again rolling on land, large masses the waters rush back to the depths. As a result, one of the most dangerous phenomena for the bather occurs, known as " reflux". A channel is formed perpendicular to the shore, through which water rapidly moves into the open sea. If someone accidentally finds himself in such a “rip”, then in just a few seconds the current will carry him from the beach for tens of meters.

Paradoxically, the fatal factor is not the distance and not the huge speed, but attempts to escape. An instinctive impulse in such a situation makes you swim to the shore at all costs. Unfortunately, the physical capabilities of man and nature are incomparable. The most hardy and trained very quickly become exhausted in a useless struggle with the flow of water and die. Although you need to know only a few things to be saved.

Often, the rip does not show itself outwardly, but when entering the sea or ocean, you should be alerted by the unusual color of the water compared to the rest of the surface (for example, white against a blue or turquoise background), a strip of seething water vertical to the horizon, moving along a similar line deep into algae or foam, an unexpected “bald spot” in a continuous ridge of waves (a deceptively calm area several meters wide when around a wave).
If you feel like you are suddenly carried to the open sea, the most important thing is not to panic and remember that the rip current is superficial and never drags a prey confidently afloat to the bottom.
To get out of the water channel, you need to move not TO the shore, but ALONG it, that is, turn right or left and swim parallel to the land. Since the width of the rip usually does not exceed 40-50 meters, you will soon feel that you have left the danger zone, and you can safely return to solid ground.

Jellyfish are another invisible threat to bathers. “Unpleasant, but not fatal,” you say? A typical delusion of a person who, on vacation, came across only relatively harmless aurelia living in the seas of temperate and tropical belts. The fact is that the deadly sea wasp lives in salt waters from the northern coast of Australia and New Guinea to the Philippines and Vietnam. This box jellyfish, due to its transparent body, is hardly visible in the water, and each of the 60 tentacles up to 3 meters long harbors a charge of neurotoxin that can kill an adult in a few minutes.

In recent years in South-East Asia other marine inhabitants dangerous for vacationers have also been recorded - poisonous physalia or " portuguese boats". In fact, these organisms are not jellyfish, although they look similar in appearance. The stinging cells on the tentacles cause severe and very painful burns. For children, the elderly, allergy sufferers, and people with heart disease, they can be fatal.

Warning signs in several languages report the appearance of jellyfish, stingrays, scorpions and other unwanted guests in the coastal waters on landscaped areas of the coast. But sharks, which are often feared by tourists who find themselves on the shores of a tropical sea for the first time, do not swim up to crowded beaches. You can see them only while diving at a distance from the land.

And finally, the rule that is relevant for relaxing on every body of water anywhere in the world, whether it is a quiet Russian river, a lake in the Alps or the ocean: never go into the water in a state of alcohol intoxication, albeit only "refresh". Take care of yourself and your loved ones!

One of the new travel destinations recent years in Russia - Vietnam. Russians have been loved in this country since Soviet Union, which in the 60s of the twentieth century helped the young republic to get out from under the yoke of the United States. Vietnam pleases warm sea, low prices and friendly residents.

Geographically, Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia. From the north it is adjacent to China, western border shared with Laos and Cambodia. The east and south of the country are washed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The seas in Vietnam are different. Most of its coast borders on South China Sea, with the same name and Tokinsky bays. And a very small piece in the south of the country belongs to the waters Gulf of Thailand. The island of Phu Quoc is also located there.

Conventionally, the coast of Vietnam is divided into 3 parts. Each of them has its own characteristics and even its own climate.

Let's start from the north. Here it is the capital of the country is Hanoi. This is the coldest and rainiest part of the country, especially in the outback. The main attraction here is Halong Bay - a bay in which thousands of islands are located. This place is fantastically beautiful, especially when viewed from high point. Steep rocky cliffs, covered with greenery, "stick out" from the water and create a feeling of unreality of the world.

The northern part of the Vietnamese coast is not very suitable for beach holiday. Coastline too indented and covered with many islands. In the same part of the sea, but a little to the south, is the famous Chinese resort island of Hainan. North and Central Vietnam is a storehouse of discoveries for the explorer traveler. These places have not yet been touched by the foot of a mass tourist. There is still an opportunity to see Vietnam in its original form.

The southern part of the country already boasts a large number of resort areas. More precisely, all the main resorts of Vietnam are located here. This area is developing rapidly. In the near future, it will become no less popular than Thailand. At least, the government of the country has such ambitious plans. Many cities and monuments are included in the UNESCO heritage - this says a lot. The climate here is tropical, warmer and drier than in the northern regions.

If you look from the north, then this region begins with resorts:

hue- cultural, historical center, there are a lot of monuments and architectural objects;
Hoi an- a Chinese town in the middle of Vietnam;
Danang- an old resort town with excellent infrastructure.

Much to the south is one of the most popular resorts among Russian tour operators - Nha Trang. The weather here is almost perfect. all year round. Here are the most fun entertainment and the best spas in Vietnam. Here are the most beautiful beaches. An ideal place to relax.

Phan Thiet Mui Ne- these two interconnected towns are a place for carefree holidays, culinary discoveries and water sports;
Dalat- a resort near the coast, in the mountains, at an altitude of almost 1500 meters. Almost alpine landscapes, forests, lakes, waterfalls. It is definitely worth a visit, especially for those who do not like the heat;
Ho Chi Minh – South Capital Vietnam. It is also called in the American manner - Saigon. City of restaurants and dens. Now there's nothing left of the past "glory", but there are hundreds of opportunities for recreation. It is the business and political center of the country. There is big airport, from where vacationers from all over the world are distributed along the coast;
– complete relaxation in the middle national park and fishing villages.

If you decide to visit Vietnam not only for the sake of the beaches, then we advise you to start exploring it from the north and move south. And finish the trip already on the tropical beaches near Ho Chi Minh, or on Phu Quoc, lost in the waters of Siam.

Have a nice holiday!

To begin with, let's talk about what kind of sea is in Nha Trang. So, this city is located on the shores of the South China Sea, which in turn is located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The sea in Nha Trang from June to August is great for swimming - the water is clean and transparent, there are practically no waves (sometimes they appear, but they are insignificant). The best part is that the water in the sea does not heat up much, in the sense that its temperature is always a few degrees lower than the air temperature, which means that bathing gently cools and gives coolness.

Jungle Beach is surrounded by mountains and tropical greenery, and there is only one hotel near it. 29 km from Nha Trang gorgeous beach Bai Dai has soft, slightly yellow-gray sand and a gentle entry into the water, making it a safe place for swimming even with the smallest. Depending on the season, the waves here are moderate, and with appropriate weather conditions surfing on the beach. In general, most of the year in this place the sea in Nha Trang is very clean, calm, the water is clear, emerald blue.

If you want peace and solitude, go to the nearest islands, for example, Hon Mun, Hon Che (by the way, you can get there by), Hon Tam, Hon Mot. Some tourists write about the sea in Nha Trang that it is muddy. This is absolutely not true! The sea is clean and transparent, the main thing is to go at the right time, for example, from March to August, and not when it’s not there, so that later you can write unpleasant responses.

Many tourists ask the question, which sea is washed by Vietnam? And the only correct answer is the South China, which is part of the Indian and Pacific oceans, and therefore some are curious to know - is it a sea or an ocean?

Still, this is the sea and you just need to look at the map of this country and immediately understand that every second city is a seaside resort.

Temperature of the South China Sea

The length of the coastline is the longest relative to the area of the entire country. The East South China Sea is very calm and warm. On average, the water temperature ranges from +20 to +29°C in winter and summer, respectively. Monsoons have a special influence on the climate of Vietnam, which also determine the month when it is better to relax on the sea in this country. For example, even in January in the south of the country the water temperature does not fall below +25°C, while in the north it drops to +20°C in winter.

Nha Trang is the most popular resort in the southern part of Vietnam. It ranks 29th in the list of the most beautiful and unique bays in the world.

The climate here is mild and the water temperature throughout the year is kept at +25 ... +26°C.

In the city itself there are three beautiful beaches with white sand and a convenient entrance to the sea.. Two islands Che and Tam also offer beautiful beaches, but on the second island the sea is deep enough and more suitable for diving. The tourist infrastructure is very developed here, and hotels offer the most comfortable living conditions.

Phan Thiet and Mui Ne are located in the southern part of Vietnam, and they are very popular among Russian tourists. Most of the beautiful beaches are next to each other near these two resort towns. Almost all hotels are also located on the beach, so it is very convenient for tourists to relax in such places. The only negative is the fine sand and the wind from the sea.

If you want to choose best resort then choose Phu Quoc island. This is a true paradise for beach and outdoor activities. Here are the most clean beaches throughout Vietnam.

Hotels here are also located on the very beaches and have a huge range of entertainment for both adults and children. Almost the whole year the temperature of air and water is kept at the same level, but at the end of July the rainy season begins and it lasts right up to September. The coast at this time is very wet and a beach holiday will not be very comfortable. The most convenient time to visit Fukuoka is in winter.

Ho Chi Minh or Saigon(the second name of the resort) is the very heart of Vietnam and here life is in full swing. This is a huge metropolis, which is the center of cultural and commercial life of the whole country. Whatever entertainment you want, everything is here. These are luxury hotels and super-budget guesthouses, and luxurious restaurants, and ordinary street eateries.

South China Sea and its inhabitants

The East or South China Sea does not boast a large number of inhabitants close to the coast, so divers prefer deep diving. In addition to corals in the sea, you will be able to see a large number of species of stingrays, moray eels, tuna, swordfish, marlin, sharks.

There are a large number of sharks here - from deep to coastal. The most famous of them and the most dangerous are: White shark, mako, brindle, blue, longfin. You can also meet a large number of reef sharks, cats, bearded, zebra, hammerhead, prickly, nurse sharks, etc.

Sometimes these predators appear on a beach and intimidate tourists. But mostly they can be seen at the Institute of Oceanography on the island of Vinperl (Vinperl).

Very often during high tides, people meet smaller, but more dangerous representatives. East Sea: poisonous spiny fish (scorpionfish, lionfish, stingrays), jellyfish and siphonophores. Many of them are especially poisonous and the most poisonous and dangerous are blue-ringed octopuses. Therefore, going on a trip to Vietnam, you need to carefully read marine life and stay away from them. And, in general, Vietnam is beautiful and diverse.
