Quy Nhon

Located in the Central South of Vietnam (about 650km from Ho Chi Minh City) and belonged to Binh Dinh province, Quy Nhon is among the three commercial and tourism hubs of the southern coastal region besides Da Nang and Nha Trang. This city can be easily accessed by air, train, or bus from Hanoi or Saigon. Quy Nhon‘s topography is diversified with the combination of mountains, hills, forests, fields, salt marshes, plains, lagoons, lakes, rivers, shorelines, peninsulas, and 42 km long white sandy beaches.

In the old-time, Quy Nhon in particular and Binh Dinh, in general, was part of the Champa Kingdom. Therefore, lots of Champa relics still can be seen here. 27 km from Quy Nhon is the ruin of Cha Ban, the capital of Champa Kingdom Vijaya. Dotted around Quy Nhon are some most famous Cham towers that provide a great sight of ancient architecture style and religious aspects. Besides that, the national tourist site Genh Rang Hill situated in the South East of Quy Nhon is a masterpiece of nature with hills, sea gates, and caves naturally formed by soil and stones after years. Coming here, you can both admire the spectacular natural landscapes and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Lying at Ghenh Rang’s foot is a pristine beach with lots of round stones which was the private beach for Queen Nam Phuong’s holiday.
