Dawn on Queen (Hoang Hau) Beach on Ghenh Rang Hill in Quy Nhon:
Queen Beach, on Vietnam’s central coast, has triggered curiosity among travelers for its countless boulders resembling giant birds’ eggs that cover over hundreds of square meters.
Quy Nhon in the south-central province of Binh Dinh is blessed with a 42 km coastline, and often dubbed the “Maldives of Vietnam.” One of the most rated local beaches, Hoang Hau is arch-shaped and combines fine white sand with clean blue water.

A visit to Quy Nhon Town is an opportunity to pay homage to Han Mac Tu, an unusual Vietnamese talent who tragically died young. The poet’s grave lies on Thi Nhan Hill in Ghenh Ranh Tourism Area, a few minutes’ walk from Hoang Hau Beach.
Tu’s poems emerged during the 1920s-30s as the heartbroken voice of a young soul. He had contracted leprosy, then an incurable disease, in 1937 and spent the rest of his life at Quy Hoa Leprosy Village, established in 1929 by a French priest named Paul Maheu. He died two years later, just 28 years old.
In between the busy coastal hotspots of Nha Trang and Hoi An, Quy Nhon, capital of Binh Dinh Province, stands as a quieter, less touristy destination. Most locals are fishers who head out to sea or swing along the coast in coracles to earn their living.
