Quy Nhon’s emergence as a tourism hotspot is relatively recent, and its popularity keeps increasing among both domestic and foreign visitors. In 2017, British newspaper The Guardian listed Quy Nhon as one of the top 10 ideal destinations for winter holidays. Last month, the town was named in the list of 20 best backpacking destinations by Hostelworld, a global online booking platform.
This is a large saltwater lagoon, covering more than 5,000 hectares in the southeast of Binh Dinh. The lagoon stretches from north of Tuy Phuoc District to Quy Nhon where it meets the sea.
Photographer Trinh, a Quy Nhon resident, said locals call this mountain a “plateau in the middle of a coastal town” and never tire of saying it is the best vantage spot in town. Many visitors chose to have a picnic here and watch the sunrise or sunset.
The area has many popular destinations like the Bai Trung beach, Tien Sa beach, and grave of Han Mac Tu, a talented Vietnamese poet. 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. He died two years later, just 28 years old.
