15:14 04/03/2009

      A road connecting two famous tourist toens in central Vietnam, Nha Trang and Dalat, will be inaugurated Friday cutting the distance between them by a third.

The new road, which took over three years to build, is 140 km while the existing route, through Phan Rang, is 228 km.

The VND700 billion (over US$43.6 million) project was undertaken by Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong provinces where Nha Trang and Dalat are respectively located.

Nha Trang is famous for its marvelous beaches while Dalat is noted for its mild weather, landscapes, and historical sites.
