This 134-mile stretch of highway is spectacular, it's got mountain scenery on the inland side of the road and stunning sea views with golden beaches on the ocean side of the road.
“It is easy to stretch this road trip into a vacation to stop in the many towns and villages along the way. Plus, you'll find plenty of places to relax on a beach,” TripSavvy wrote.
Every two years, there is a week-long festival where visitors drive the route together and take part in a large celebration. If you want a memorable experience between Nha Trang to Quy Nhon, consider joining in that celebration.
The Karakoram Highway (Pakistan and China) tops the list, followed by the Hokkaido Scenic Byway (Japan), Golden Road to Samarkand (Uzbekistan), the Mountain Tunnels of Guoliang and Xiyagou (China).
