Quy Nhon

Located in the Central South of Vietnam (about 650km from Ho Chi Minh City) and belonging to Binh Dinh Province, Quy Nhon is one of the three major commercial and tourism hubs of the southern coastal region, alongside Da Nang and Nha Trang. The city is easily accessible by air, train, or bus from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. Quy Nhon features a diverse topography, combining mountains, hills, forests, plains, lagoons, rivers, peninsulas, and a 42-kilometer stretch of white sandy beaches, making it an attractive destination for nature lovers.

In the past, Quy Nhon and Binh Dinh were part of the ancient Champa Kingdom, which explains the presence of many well-preserved Champa relics in the area. About 27 km from the city lies Cha Ban, the former capital of the Champa Kingdom of Vijaya. Scattered around Quy Nhon are several famous Cham towers that showcase distinctive ancient architecture and religious influences.

Another highlight is Ghenh Rang Hill, a national tourist site located in the southeast of Quy Nhon. This area is a natural masterpiece featuring hills, rocky sea gates, caves, and scenic coastal views shaped by nature over time. Visitors can admire dramatic landscapes while enjoying the fresh sea breeze. At the foot of Ghenh Rang lies a pristine pebble beach that was once the private retreat of Queen Nam Phuong. From above, the panoramic view of the Phuong Mai Peninsula and Thi Nai Lagoon resembles a natural painting, while the hillside is home to the tomb of Han Mac Tu, one of Vietnam’s most renowned poets.

In addition to its natural and historical attractions, Quy Nhon and Binh Dinh are well known for Tuong, a traditional form of classical drama, and Vo Tay Son, the most famous martial arts style in Vietnam. The city also offers several interesting museums and pagodas located within or near the city center, adding cultural depth to any visit.

Quy Nhon enjoys a long dry season lasting about nine months, from January to September. The peak tourism period runs from March to early September, when rainfall is minimal and the weather is most pleasant. Travelers interested in waterfalls may prefer visiting between June and August, when water levels are highest. Despite its beauty, Quy Nhon remains relatively off the beaten track compared to other coastal cities, making it an excellent choice for travelers seeking a quieter destination. It is also a perfect stopover between Nha Trang and Hoi An and a worthwhile addition to any journey across Vietnam.
