Around 45km away from Nha Trang City, Yang Bay waterfall consists of three sets of falls - Yang Bay, Yang Khang, and Ho Cho. Local residents often refer to this waterfall as “Thac troi” (sky waterfall) thanks to its altitude of up to 2,000m.
Apart from viewing the scenery, visitors to Yang Bay can go fishing, enjoy music performance of traditional instrument, and take part in folk games.

The stream has four layers with many sets of falls stretching around 30m in height, and a pond in the middle covering about 150m2.
