Quy Nhon (Quy Nhơn) is a coastal city of Binh Dinh province (Central Vietnam). People here are very very kind-hearted and nice. Quy Nhon is famous for beautiful landscapes such as Genh Rang (Gềnh Ráng), Bai Trung beach (Bãi Trứng) where Nam Phuong queen used to bath, Trung Luong beach, Han Mac Tu tomb – a famous poet living in the beginning of the 20th century, and many more other places.
Especially, Binh Dinh is also called Martial Land (Đất Võ) because it is hometown of Quang Trung King, a great king in Vietnam’s history who defeated Thanh dynasty (Qing, a big dynasty of China) in their attack in the 17th century.

Specialties and restaurants in Quy Nhon
1. During your stay in Quy Nhon, you can’t help missing Bún chả cá ( a fish noodle)– a famous specialty of this land. So best to check out Thu fried fish noodle on Nguyen Hue street for breakfast orNgoc Lien fried fish noodle or Phuong Teo in the evening, also on the same street.
2. Binh Dinh baked roll (nem nướng Bình Định) at Nem Loi restaurant 113 – Tang Bat Ho street.
4. Seafood, you should take a look at Xuan Dieu street for fresh, tasty and cheap seafoods. I like Bay Sen restaurant. Besides, there’re many equally yummy cakes, fruits, noodles to try out.
5. Bánh Xèo Tôm Nhảy (nicely translated to dancing prawn pancake) is one of the dishes that make Binh Dinh’s name. A must-eat in Binh Dinh for just $1/each. So my idea will take you quite away from the town to a restaurant 25km (16 miles) from Quy Nhon. Every time back in town, I always come here for this little amazing treat at Tuy Phuoc up North a bit. They start opening from 6.30pm, so queue soon or you will have to wait over 1 hour for your turn.
