Quy Nhon is the capital city of Binh Dinh province, a thriving seaside town, but yet untouched by mass tourism. It lies on the central coast of Vietnam, 320 kilometer from Da Nang to the north, and 230 km from Nha Trang to the south.
The small peninsula city of Quy Nhon is sheltered by outlying islands and a curved spit of land like a "cap," which makes this a very effective deep-water port, the most important in a long stretch between Danang and Nha Trang. As a result of this strategic importance, the town was hotly contested over for centuries, first by the Chinese and later by the French and the Americans (some of the largest U.S. troop deployments, including the famed "Air Cav" unit, came ashore here at Quy Nhon in 1968).
Although it's long been and continues to be more of a fishing port than a tourist destination, Quy Nhon's long central beach is beginning to attract new developments for tourists.
