About Travel to Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon is a great place to visit on holiday. This coastal city of around half a million people is close to several good beaches, and some interesting historical sites, and has lots of hotels and a diverse local cuisine. Very few foreign visitors, however, make it to Quy Nhon compared to other coastal destinations in Vietnam such Mui Ne, Nah Trang and Hoi An. Quy Nhon is though very popular with Vietnamese tourists.

Travel to Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon is slightly more difficult for international visitors to reach than beach resorts such as Nha Trang. Quy Nhon does have a local airport, Phu Cat Airport, which is a manageable 35 km from Quy Nohn City, however, Phu Cat Airport only has internal flights. Quy Nhon is 210 km from Nha Trang, and 322 km from Da Nang.

Even from other locations in South East Asia, such as Bangkok, it’s a long journey that may take more than a day to reach Quy Nhon. For travellers on flights from Europe and Russia, the journey on arrival at an international airport to Quy Nhon will take several hours and that’s much too long if you spent 10 or more hours on a plane already. For these reasons, Quy Nhon doesn’t really attract foreign holidaymakers coming to Vietnam on short breaks.

More remote, but very beautiful, is Ky Co Beach 25 km by road to the north of Quy Nhon City. Ky Co Beach is just under 600 metres long and behind the beach is a resort and a small number of restaurants. The big attractions of Ky Co Beach are the very clear blue coastal waters and the views of the rugged coastline.

The Banh It Towers consists of 4 large Cham style towers positioned on a hilltop. The towers are believed to have been constructed in the 12th Century. The towers are each slightly different in design and feature detailed carvings.

The second Cham site in the area is Thap Doi, or the Twin Towers, located only 3 km to the north of Quy Nhon City. One of the towers is 20 metres tall and the other 18 metres tall. The towers are thought to have been built either at the end of the 12th Century or the start of the 13th Century.

Originally there were three towers at Thap Doi, but one collapsed in the 19th Century. Significant restoration work has been undertake to stabilise the other two towers, however, some of the carvings on the exterior have still fallen off and the towers have a dilapidated charm. They are old and they look old.
