Today is the perfect day to succumb to the charms of amiable Quy Nhon, a sleepy coastal city in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Still relatively unknown, this gentle, pleasant getaway is perfectly situated for relaxation, investigating local history, and enjoying the majestic, haunting views for which Vietnam is famous. A short airplane ride from Saigon, this town is also a wonderful retreat for business travellers. For honeymooners, it is the perfect headquarters, from which one can visit the big city briefly, then return to the luxury and quiet of friendly Quy Nhon.

For exposure to Vietnam's engaging history, stop by the Trung Museum in nearby Tay Son. Off the beaten tourist track, this museum invites you to get to know local lore and the story of the three Tay Son Brothers: revered war heroes who helped to lift their people up during a time of political strife. Several Cham Towers—evidence of an advanced civilisation as old as the 11th century AD—also exist in the Quy Nhon region. The journey to these rural outposts will delight you just as much as the fascinating ruins themselves. Get ready for an adventure. You'll wend your way through scenic rice paddies, wave at curious children, and marvel at the lush greenery of Vietnam's countryside and jungle.

The sheltered beach at Quy Nhon is the town's most valuable asset, an undiscovered gem  perfect for enjoying sun, sand, seashells, and seclusion, especially between the months of June and September. Because Quy Nhon sits at the northern end of Vietnam's south-central "beach coast," there are also numerous better-known beaches just south of town. These include Qui Hoa, Cat Hai, Bai Bau, Bai Dai, and Queens Beach. North of Quy Nhon, a lengthy peninsular beach near the small village of Vinh Hoi is little known, and provides even more opportunity for private relaxation. 

As the capital city of Binh Dinh province, Quy Nhon is home to wonderful parks, stately homes, and incredible photographic opportunities. In the morning, before colourful fishing fleets gather in the harbour, come walk the wide, empty sands and gasp at a breath-taking sunrise over distant, misty mountains. The locals here see few foreigners. Eager to share their culture and beautiful city, they will welcome you wholeheartedly to Quy Nhan with Vietnam's legendary charm and grace. Whether you choose to rent a motor bike and explore the back roads, hop aboard a touring boat to enjoy the harbour, or sunbathe on each and every beach along the coast, your trip to Quy Nhon is guaranteed to be a relaxing one. Everywhere you turn, picture postcard views remind you that you are in beautiful Vietnam, one of the world's still-undiscovered natural wonders.
