There is another Quy Nhon, beyond the Ky Co – Eo Gió beaches that are packed with tourists on canoe trips every weekend morning.
This is Quy Nhon, with its jet-black volcanic cliffs jutting out into the sea at Mui Rong (Dragon’s Head Cape), the deserted Hon Seo (Scar Island) with its countless smooth, round pebbles polished by the waves over thousands of years, and Thi Nai Lagoon – the “green lung” with its vast Con Chim mangrove forest, home to thousands of species of waterbirds. This is Quy Nhon, with its ancient Cham towers like Banh It and Duong Long standing silently amidst the rice paddies, and the fishing villages of Nhon Hai and Nhon Ly still maintaining the simple, rustic life of fishermen along their moss-covered narrow alleys.
At Thinh Adventures , travel isn’t about a race to check in at overcrowded tourist spots. We believe in a philosophy of responsible local experiences – slow down, observe carefully, respect the nature and culture of the places we visit, so that each independent travel journey leaves a positive mark instead of damaging this land of martial arts. We seek out lesser-known destinations , work with local fishing communities, and share with you coordinates that mainstream travel maps have never mentioned.
