Quy Nhơn is a large, prosperous coastal city and the capital of Bình Định Province in central Vietnam. The town sits on a gorgeous sweeping bay with a sparkling new promenade running along the length of the city's five-kilometre beach, which makes a lovely place for a breezy evening stroll. Just off the promenade, numerous open-air restaurants with panoramic ocean views grill, steam and stew seafood caught only hours before by local fishermen. Beyond the beach are a few places worth exploring in the nearby area, including some remarkably well-restored ancient towers with typical features of Cham architecture. Among these are the impressive Twin Cham Towers, the most accessible of all the Cham towers in Quy Nhon. The Banh It Towers boast a panoramic view of the Thi Nai River, Truong Son mountains, and the ocean. The historic Vijaya Citadel captivates history enthusiasts as the storied site of many besiegements, sackings, and bloody battles.
