Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon is the capital of Binh Dinh province and one of Vietnam’s more active second-string seaports. The beaches in the immediate vicinity of the city is nothing special, however Quy Nhon is a convenient – though somewhat disappointing – place to break the long journey from Nha Trang to Danang.
Quy Nhon is on the coast 10km east of National Highway 1. The big highway junction where you turn off to Quy Nhon is called the Ba Di Bridge Crossroad. Quy Nhon is 174km from Quang Ngai, 186km from Pleiku, 223km from Buon Ma Thuot, 238km from Nha Trang, 304km from Danang and 677km from Ho Chi Minh City. There are National Highways No. 1A and 19. Phu Cat Airport is 30km north of Quy Nhon. There are flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Quy Nhon everyday and flights between Danang and Quy Nhon twice a week.

From the Municipal Beach, Cu Lao Xanh Island is visible offshore. Due east of the beach (to the left as you face the water) you can see, in the distance, an oversize statue of Tran Hung Dao erected on a promontory overlooking the fishing village of Hai Minh.
