Category: Binh Dinh travel handbook

Binh Đinh is a province of Vietnam. It is located in Vietnam’s South Central Coast region. Its Sino-Vietnamese name translates as “pacified” or “subjugated.”
Binh Đinh was probably one of the places where the Cham first arrived in what is now Vietnam.[1] Its favourable geography led to the rise of the Cham Port of Thi Nai where Quy Nhon is now located. The city-state of Vijaya was located around this port and the main city, which was further inland. Its centre was in the southern lowland of Binh Đinh. However, its architecture implies that it did not become important until the eleventh or twelfth century.
