Peaceful beachs in Quy Nhon

Quy Nhon City in the central coast province of Binh Dinh has many sightseeing spots for travelers to discover, including some tranquil beaches in Ghenh Rang and ancient traits in Quy Hoa where late poet Han Mac Tu had found inspiration to create many popular pieces.

Tourists can take a flight or a train from HCMC to Quy Nhon. The first destination tourists should head to is Ghenh Rang tourist site 2km away from Quy Nhon City. The site is close to Xuan Van Mountain and was formed from continuous winding stone banks and caves. The way leading to Ghenh Rang is beautifully built on a slightly sloping path.

Standing in Ghenh Rang, tourists can experience a panoramic view of Quy Nhon. A highlight of the site is Hoang Hau (Queen) Beach that looks like a beautiful hidden fairy. The name “queen” came from a historical fact that the late emperor of Vietnam, Bao Dai and his wife, Queen Nam Phuong chose this place as a private relaxation place during their trip in 1927.
