Pagi terbit di Quy Nhơn

Quy Nhơn, ibu kota provinsi Bình Định di pesisir tengah Vietnam, adalah sebuah kota yang telah lama diketepikan oleh pelancong Vietnam dan asing kerana tidak lebih dari perhentian semalam yang selesa di antara seni bina lama Hội An dan pusat peranginan yang berkembang pesat di Nha Trang. Tetapi bagi mereka yang tahu, pengabaian itulah yang menjadikan Quy Nhơn permata paling jarang: sebuah kota pantai di Asia Tenggara tidak terjejas oleh kerosakan pelancongan massa. Dengan sedikit lalu lintas, tanpa rantaian antarabangsa, dan waktu tidur yang menyaksikan kebanyakan perniagaan ditutup selama beberapa jam setiap petang, bandar raya ini yang berjumlah 457,000 orang (2019) mempunyai daya tarikan bandar kecil yang mengantuk dan bertentangan dengan komersialisme dan pembangunan bandar-bandar Vietnam yang lain.

Fahami

Terdapat banyak sebab bandar ini masih ada jauh dari radar pelancong antarabangsa. Pasir di pantai di tengahnya adalah warna kuning gelap yang tidak menarik. Lautan tidak jauh lebih baik: ia adalah warna gelap yang paling baik dikelaskan sebagai hijau keruh. Hampir tidak ada makanan antarabangsa. Tidak ada kehidupan malam. Tidak banyak orang yang berbahasa Inggeris. Hotel sudah ketinggalan zaman dan yang baru lebih berkualiti. Sebilangan besar laman web arkeologi kuno sukar dijumpai, tidak dijaga dengan baik dan tidak mempunyai maklumat dalam bahasa Inggeris. Dan wilayah ini beratus-ratus kilometer dari kawasan panas utama di Vietnam yang biasanya dikunjungi pelancong antarabangsa.

Mereka yang sampai ke bandar mendapati bahawa maklumat dalam bahasa Inggeris jarang dan apa yang ada selalunya tidak betul. Beberapa penulis perjalanan yang menggambarkan Quy Nhơn semuanya menggunakan sumber yang salah yang sama, dan maklumat yang tidak tepat — selalunya maklumat yang tidak tepat dan tidak tepat — berulang kali bertahun-tahun dan tidak pernah diperbetulkan. Mengenai latar belakang sejarah, sangat sedikit yang diterbitkan dalam bahasa Inggeris mengenai sejarah rantau ini, jadi pengunjung antarabangsa tidak mempunyai konteks untuk memahami apa yang mereka lihat. Kerajaan tidak banyak membantu: jangkauan pelancongan pada dasarnya tidak ada. Malah Peta Google pada tahun 2016 mempunyai lokasi yang salah untuk beberapa perniagaan dan laman web.

Tetapi berikan pandangan kedua kepada Quy Nhơn dan anda akan dapati destinasi luar biasa yang tersembunyi di pemandangan. Di sempadan di kedua sisi oleh lapisan gunung yang surut ke jarak kabur, keindahan semula jadi tepi laut Quy Nhơn telah memberi inspirasi kepada penyair selama berabad-abad dan masih menjadi tarikan paling jelas hari ini. Persiaran baru yang berkilauan berjalan sepanjang pantai 5 km di bandar ini. Tidak jauh dari persiaran, berpuluh-puluh restoran terbuka dengan panggangan pemandangan laut 180 darjah, makanan laut wap dan rebus yang ditangkap hanya beberapa jam sebelumnya oleh nelayan tempatan dan memberikannya kepada pelanggan yang duduk di bangku plastik kecil yang terletak di tengah-tengah rumput dan pokok. Di pantai, tidak ada sukan air, tidak ada jet ski, tidak ada rave; sebahagian besar pantai tidak berkembang, tidak terpakai dan sunyi, dan bahkan di kawasan paling tengah, kegilaan terbesar yang anda dapati adalah penduduk tempatan yang bermain bola tampar dan pelancong Vietnam berlari - sering berpakaian lengkap - ke dalam air.

Di luar pusat, anda akan menjumpai puluhan perkampungan nelayan kecil dan teluk pesisir, reruntuhan Champa abad ke-11 yang paling mudah diakses dan terpelihara di Vietnam, pemandangan panorama dari jalan-jalan pergunungan yang terletak di atas tebing pantai, dan pantai yang bersih tanpa berjiwa sejauh 10 km.

Dan di mana sahaja di Quy Nhơn, anda pasti terpesona oleh orang-orang. Hampir tidak ada yang bercakap lebih daripada beberapa perkataan bahasa Inggeris, tetapi sebagai salah satu daripada beberapa pelawat asing, anda akan selalu dihentikan oleh orang dewasa dan kanak-kanak dengan malu-malu menyambut anda dengan satu ungkapan mereka: "Hello, apa yang anda namakan!". Pintu mereka sentiasa terbuka - secara kiasan dan harfiah - dan jika anda berjalan-jalan sedikit, anda akhirnya akan dijemput ke lebih banyak kopi dan makanan daripada yang anda boleh masukkan ke dalam perut anda.

Orientasi

Pusat Quy Nhơn terletak di semenanjung kecil yang keluar seperti kepala naga dari daratan ke Laut China Selatan. Jalan Trần Hưng iso adalah jalan paling mudah yang berjalan dari timur ke barat, membentang dari hujung timur jauh melalui pusat bandar untuk menghubungkan ke Lebuhraya 1A dan stesen kereta api, lapangan terbang dan kawasan desa Bình Định di barat laut. Sebilangan besar laman web yang menarik bagi pelancong adalah di sebelah selatan Trần Hưng Đạo; di utara adalah kawasan perumahan, industri perikanan dan zon pelabuhan perindustrian.

Berlari dari utara Quy Nhơn ke selatan, jalan yang luas Nguyễn Tất Thành membelah bandar menjadi bahagian timur-barat. Bahagian timur lebih maju, dengan lebih banyak restoran dan tempat menarik; di sebelah barat, bandar menjadi kurang maju semakin jauh anda menjauh dari Nguyễn Tất Thành. Di dasar gunung di barat jauh, hujung selatan kota dikuasai oleh stesen bas, kedai pukal dan beberapa kilang, sementara hujung utara dari jalan Phạm Ngũ Lão mengarah ke barat menjadi labirin kotoran selebar senjata lorong tanpa nama yang melintasi antara rumah kayu yang reyot dan luar; ini adalah kawasan yang menarik untuk berjalan pada waktu siang, tetapi elakkan pada waktu malam: ia tidak berbahaya, tetapi dijamin anda akan tersesat.

Pantai bandar berada di hujung selatan-tenggara Quy Nhơn. Penduduk tempatan bergurau bahawa pelancong akhirnya memandu dengan berpusing-pusing kerana mereka tidak memahami geografi pantai melengkung, jadi berhati-hatilah: jika anda berada di selatan, pantai di sebelah timur, tetapi jika anda berada di sebelah barat, ia ke selatan. Jalan utama di sepanjang pantai dipanggil Xuân Diệu di sebelah timur dan An Dương Vương di selatan. Di selatan bandar, jalan pantai menghubungkan ke Lebuhraya 1D berhampiran stesen bas di jalan Tây Sơn.

Had bandar Quy Nhơn (ditandakan dengan warna biru kadet pada peta wilayah Quy Nhơn) membentang jauh di luar pusat bandar, merangkumi desa-desa pesisir, pantai kosong, dan kawasan hijau yang subur. Di sebelah barat laut, di tengah sawah dan dataran bergulir yang menjadi tempat empayar Champa pada abad ke-11 dan pangkalan tentera Amerika dan Korea Selatan pada tahun 1960-an, terletak lapangan terbang dan stesen kereta api utama.

Di pantai di sebelah selatan pusat bandar terdapat beberapa teluk dan kampung yang indah, termasuk Bãi Xép, perkampungan nelayan kecil yang terkenal dengan pelancong antarabangsa. Di sebelah timur laut bandar ini adalah semenanjung Phuong Mai, sebuah kawasan yang luas yang kebanyakannya tandus dengan garis pantai yang menakjubkan; ia masih belum berkembang, tetapi dengan cepat berubah menjadi zon pelancongan industri dan mewah.

Iklim

Quy Nhơn diklasifikasikan sebagai iklim savana tropika kerana hujan monsun lebat dari pertengahan September hingga pertengahan Disember, hujan ringan dan jarang sembilan bulan yang lain, dan suhu yang hampir tidak pernah turun di bawah 19 ° C (66 ° F) pada mana-mana masa dalam setahun.

Ia adalah panas dan melekit pada musim puncak pelancongan dari April hingga pertengahan September, tetapi musim panas jauh lebih ringan daripada Saigon di selatan negara atau bahkan Nha Trang 220 km (135 mi) ke selatan. Suhu di Quy Nhơn dapat meningkat hingga 37 ° C (99 ° F) yang terik, tetapi kebanyakan hari musim panas biasanya sekitar 32 ° C (90 ° F), dan kawasan pantai mendapat manfaat dari pendinginan angin laut yang lembut. Malamnya hangat dan menyenangkan, dengan suhu umumnya sekitar 27 ° C (81 ° F) dan tidak pernah turun di bawah 25 ° C (77 ° F).

The musim tengkujuh dari pertengahan September hingga pertengahan Disember melihat hujan lebat pada kebanyakan hari dan malam. Sebilangan besar perniagaan di bandar tidak terjejas dan tetap terbuka, tetapi jadual restoran di tepi pantai terbuka lebih bervariasi: ada yang tutup semasa hujan, ada yang memindahkan meja mereka ke bangunan dapur, dan beberapa jiwa yang keras berani memberi unsur makan di luar tempat perlindungan sementara di lopak air. Harga di Quy Nhơn tidak mengalami turun naik bermusim seperti bandar pantai lain di Vietnam, tetapi harga hotel turun sedikit pada musim tengkujuh.

Pertengahan Disember hingga pertengahan Februari adalah tempoh paling sejuk. Suhu pada waktu siang adalah sekitar 25 ° C (77 ° F). Tetapi malam menjadi sejuk — sekurang-kurangnya yang dianggap sejuk di pantai Vietnam Tengah. Suhu malam biasanya turun hingga 21 ° C (70 ° F), dan dengan sangat sedikit rumah atau restoran yang menggunakan pemanasan, penduduk tempatan melepaskan baju sejuk dan selendang musim sejuk mereka dan merapatkan diri semasa makan malam periuk panas. Berbeza dengan cuaca musim sejuk yang sangat kering di Saigon dan jauh di selatan Vietnam selama bulan-bulan ini, Quy Nh doesn memang mempunyai hujan yang sporadis, tetapi sangat ringan dan sering ada minggu sekali tanpa setitik dari langit. Di luar tempoh percutian Tết, musim ini tidak banyak pelancong.

Pertengahan Februari hingga pertengahan April adalah musim musim bunga Quy Nhơn yang menyenangkan. Suhu meningkat hingga 28 ° C (82 ° F) pada siang hari dan 24 ° C (75 ° F) pada waktu malam, sementara hujan tetap jarang dan ringan.

Sejarah

Untuk kawasan kecil yang sering diabaikan oleh pelancong tempatan dan asing, Quy Nhơn dan kawasan luar bandar Bình Định telah memainkan peranan penting dalam tiga tempoh utama sejarah Vietnam: Champa, Tây Sơn memberontak, dan juga Perang Vietnam-Amerika.

Champa

Quy Nhơn pertama kali menjadi terkenal pada abad ke-11 sebagai ibu kota Chams, orang asli yang memerintah apa yang sekarang menjadi Vietnam Tengah. Kawasan Bình Định pada abad ke-8 dan ke-9 adalah kawasan belakang yang tidak berkembang dari empayar Champa yang jauh; pusatnya berada di ibu kota Indrapura, tepat di luar Da Nang moden (ẵà Nẵng). Tetapi perang selama beberapa dekad melawan Viets di utara memberi tekanan besar kepada kerajaan Champa, dan sekitar tahun 1000, ketika ibukota mereka dipecat, raja mereka dibunuh, emas mereka dicuri, dan wanita mereka dilemparkan sebagai budak dalam serangan brutal oleh orang Viets, Cham memutuskan cukup dan bergerak secara beramai-ramai ke selatan.

Mereka akhirnya menetap sejauh 300 km di pesisir pantai di wilayah yang sekarang menjadi provinsi Bình Định. Dengan tanahnya yang subur, pelabuhan yang dilindungi dengan baik, dan sungai besar yang ideal untuk pengangkutan, kawasan ini dapat menyokong empayar Cham yang berkembang dan ekonominya yang sedang berkembang, dan pergunungan di sekitarnya - serta jarak ratusan kilometer dari Viets —Menyediakan langkah-langkah keselamatan tambahan yang sangat diperlukan. Cham membina pusat perdagangan dan pelabuhan di tempat yang sekarang Quy Nhơn dan mendirikan ibu kota baru mereka Viajaya di dataran 50 km dengan selamat kembali dari pantai.

Ikon Hindu Shiva dan naga makara dijumpai di laman Champa di luar Quy Nhơn. Patung-patung itu, yang diukir pada abad ke-11 hingga ke-13, diadakan di Musée Guimet, Paris, Perancis.

Selama beberapa abad berikutnya, Vijaya adalah ibu kota budaya dan pentadbiran orang-orang Cham, dan bandar pelabuhan di Quy Nhơn moden adalah mesin ekonominya. Cham menguasai Vietnam Tengah dan jalan perdagangan di Laut China Selatan, dan dalam gelombang perang berturut-turut melawan saingan utama mereka iaitu Khmer di barat dan Viets di utara, mereka menakluki sebahagian besar wilayah yang kini menjadi Kemboja timur dan Laos.

Tetapi raja-raja Cham melangkah terlalu jauh pada abad ke-15 ketika mereka berusaha meminta sokongan orang Cina dalam pertempuran mereka melawan Vietnam. Sebagai pembalasan, Viets menyerang Vijaya dengan armada tentera laut yang beratus-ratus ribu tentera. Orang Viet membakar ibu kota dan kampung sekitarnya, membunuh 60,000 lelaki Cham, mengambil 30,000 budak, dan memaksa petani yang masih hidup untuk mengadopsi budaya dan bahasa Vietnam. Selama berabad-abad sejak, baki Tamadun Cham hancur demi satu dalam dasar rasmi Vietnamisasi. Kuil-kuil Hindu Chams dirobohkan dan diganti dengan kuil-kuil Buddha, kubur-kubur dibangun dengan tanah pertanian, dan Cham umumnya ditulis dari buku-buku sejarah Vietnam.

Sehingga hari ini, Cham adalah subjek yang penuh ujian di Vietnam, yang menyentuh hak minoriti, penapisan pemerintah, dan juga hubungan antarabangsa. Beberapa ribu Cham yang masih ada di Bình Định dimasukkan ke dalam keadaan hidup yang tidak berkualiti, tanpa elektrik, air mengalir, pendidikan, atau hak tanah yang selamat, dan mereka dilarang terlibat dalam banyak amalan agama mereka. Terdapat beberapa pengemis di jalan-jalan di Quy Nhơn, tetapi jika anda melihatnya, kemungkinan besar mereka adalah Cham dari kampung-kampung sekitarnya. Rampasan tanah, pemerkosaan dan bahkan pembunuhan penduduk kampung Cham, yang didokumentasikan oleh kumpulan hak asasi manusia pada tahun 2013, belum diadili. Kerajaan membenarkan sedikit perbincangan awam mengenai isu Cham, dan pada tahun 2016, kebanyakan maklumat berbahasa Vietnam di internet disekat oleh sensor.

Dan ironinya, salah satu hujah sejarah terkuat Vietnam dalam pertikaian pahitnya dengan China mengenai wilayah Laut China Selatan tidak digunakan kerana pelanggaran hak asasi manusia terhadap Cham. Selama berabad-abad, Cham menguasai banyak jalan perdagangan dan pulau-pulau yang menjadi pusat perampasan kuasa China ketika ini, jauh sebelum tuntutan China didokumentasikan. Tetapi kerana pelanggaran hak asasi manusia di masa lalu dan sekarang, pemerintah Vietnam enggan mengemukakan tuntutan sejarah Chams.

Sebagai pengembara di Bình Định, bahagian yang paling kelihatan di masa lalu Champa anda akan menjumpai laman-laman arkeologi, terutamanya menara, yang tersebar di seluruh Quy Nhơn dan kawasan sekitarnya. Walaupun banyak laman web musnah, kawasan ini masih mempunyai koleksi menara Cham terkaya di negara ini. Menara Tháp Đôi di bandar adalah yang paling mudah diakses. Laman web di kawasan luar bandar lebih besar dan lengkap, tetapi laman web ini juga sukar dijangkau, tidak memberikan maklumat sejarah, dan diabaikan secara pelik. Tetapi jika anda seorang Indiana Jones yang bermotivasi diri dan bersandar pada penemuan sejarah, perjalanan sehari arkeologi dari Quy Nhơn sangat menyeronokkan.

Tây Sơn

Seterusnya kemasyhuran nasional untuk Quy Nhơn dan kampung-kampung Bình Định di sekitarnya muncul sebagai tempat kelahiran Tây Sơn memberontak, pemberontakan petani pada abad ke-18 yang menakluki tuan-tuan feodal yang berkuasa di utara dan selatan, mengalahkan penjajah China dan mewujudkan Vietnam yang bersatu dan bebas. Ketiga bersaudara dari Bình Định yang memimpin gerakan ini adalah pahlawan nasional yang dihormati di seluruh Vietnam dan diaspora atas kemenangan ketenteraan mereka dan sokongan seperti Robin Hood dari rakyat biasa.

Nguyễn Huệ, budak tempatan dibuat baik

Kehidupan di Vietnam Tengah pada abad ke-18 sukar. Di antara dua keluarga tuan feodal yang kuat — Trịnh di utara dan Nguyễn di selatan — para petani di Vietnam Tengah mengalami pencerobohan berterusan, cukai yang terlalu tinggi pada tanaman mereka, dan paksa tentera sebagai tentera dalam perang melawan Khmer dan Siam.

Tiga bersaudara dari desa kecil Bình Định di Tây Syn menganjurkan petani tempatan untuk menentang pemerintahan feudal yang menindas. Mengikuti taktik ketenteraan Nguyễn Huệ, pertengahan dari tiga bersaudara, kumpulan petani, petani, dan penduduk bukit pribumi menjaringkan serangkaian kemenangan kecewa terhadap pasukan yang lebih kuat pada awal 1770-an. Setelah menawan pelabuhan Quy Nhơn pada tahun 1773, mereka melaju ke selatan dan menggulingkan klan Nguyễn pada tahun 1776. Nguyễn Huệ kemudian mengawasi pasukannya ke utara dan mengalahkan tuan-tuan Trịnh pada tahun 1786.

Kerajaan Qing di China, bersemangat untuk menghentikan pemberontakan petani di depan pintu rumahnya, memberikan sokongan kepada Trịnh dan menyerang Vietnam. Tetapi Nguyễn Huệ terlalu pandai. Dalam pertempuran yang disambut hari ini sebagai salah satu yang paling hebat dalam sejarah Vietnam, 100,000 tentera sukarelawan Tây S launchedn melancarkan serangan mengejutkan terhadap tentera China pada Tahun Baru Imlek tahun 1789 (strategi yang disalin hampir dua abad kemudian, walaupun dengan sedikit kejayaan, oleh Vietnam Utara dalam perang menentang Vietnam Selatan dan AS). Tertangkap tidak bersedia dan mabuk, tentera China dihancurkan dalam masa lima hari dan melarikan diri kembali ke China.

Nguyễn Huệ dirayakan di seluruh negara kerana mencipta a Vietnam yang bersatu dan bebas, dan dia diisytiharkan sebagai maharaja Vietnam dengan nama Maharaja Quang Trung. Tetapi pemerintahannya tidak lama: dia meninggal hanya tiga tahun kemudian pada usia 40 tahun. Terganggu, gerakan rakyat Tây Sơn segera dikalahkan oleh dinasti feudal Nguyễn yang disokong Perancis, yang memerintah negara ini selama 143 tahun berikutnya . Banyak orang Vietnam dari semua jalur politik menganggap pemerintahan pendek Quang Trung adalah peluang yang hilang, mempercayai bahawa jika dia hidup lebih lama, negara itu akan berada di jalan yang berbeza: lebih mampu menentang pengaruh asing dan lebih menekankan pemodenan, hak-hak orang biasa , dan hubungan dalaman yang aman.

Muzium Quang Trung, 44 km (27 mi) timur laut Quy Nhơn di Tây Sơn, menghormati Nguyễn Huệ dan pemberontakan Tây Sơn. Muzium dan kawasan sekitarnya penting dalam politik nasional, dengan banyak pemimpin masa lalu dan sekarang - dari semua wilayah di negara ini - telah mengunjungi sejak pembinaannya tahun 1978 untuk memberi penghormatan kepada mereka secara terbuka.

Perang Vietnam-Amerika

Tentera Amerika mencari Viet Cong di sebuah rumah di kawasan luar bandar Quy Nhơn, 1966. Operasi "pendamaian" menyebabkan lebih dari 130,000 penduduk tempatan melarikan diri untuk berlindung di kem pelarian.

Dengan kedudukannya yang strategik sebagai bandar pelabuhan dan sebagai perhubungan pengangkutan lebuh raya, Quy Nhơn dan kawasan luar bandar Bình Định di sekitarnya memainkan peranan yang sangat besar dalam perang Vietnam-Amerika pada tahun 1960-an dan 1970-an.

Quy Nhơn pada awal 1960-an adalah kota kecil dan nelayan yang tidak berkembang di mana keadaan kesihatan dengan cepat merosot ketika ketegangan meningkat di negara ini. Menurut doktor New Zealand di Bình Định, penduduk tempatan "kekurangan makanan dan primitif", "tinggal di rumah-rumah kotor", dengan "najis manusia terdapat di mana sahaja dan di mana-mana", dan pantai digunakan "sebagai tandas raksasa." Tuberkulosis berleluasa. Air kumbahan dan air mengalir tidak mencukupi untuk bandar dan tidak ada di kawasan luar bandar. Bình Định hanya mempunyai enam doktor awam - lima di Quy Nhơn dan satu di sebuah kampung 100 km (60 mi) di luar kota - untuk melayani berjuta-juta penduduk wilayah itu. Penduduk tempatan tidak mempercayai perubatan Barat dan merawat penyakit mereka dengan ubat herba Cina, akupunktur dengan jarum emas, dan gelas pecah (gelas itu digunakan untuk memotong kulit dan membuat bekas luka yang dipercayai penyembuhan).

Kawasan itu secara nominal berada di bawah kawalan pemerintah Vietnam Selatan. Tetapi sebahagian besar wilayah Bình Định telah menjadi pusat kegiatan Komunis selama hampir dua dekad sebelum bermulanya perang. Sawah, hutan tropis yang lebat dan lereng gunung yang sempit menjadikan kedudukan yang ideal untuk pasukan Viet Cong dan Bahagian 3 Vietnam Utara ("Bintang Kuning"), dan pada awal 1960-an, kawasan luar bandar di sekitar Quy Nhơn adalah pusat operasi untuk pasukan Komunis.

Penglibatan asing bermula dengan sungguh-sungguh ketika New Zealand, di bawah tekanan AS, menghantar pasukan perubatan ke Bình Định pada tahun 1963. Perekrutan sukarelawan sukar dilakukan — orang Kiwi secara besar-besaran lebih memilih Nha Trang untuk pantainya yang terkenal, tetapi doktor Amerika telah menyatakannya— tetapi akhirnya, beberapa pasukan perubatan awam New Zealand tiba di Quy Nhơn dan terus kekal sehingga tahun 1975 untuk merawat korban awam. Pasukan perubatan ketenteraan dari Wellington bergabung dengan mereka pada tahun 1967.

Harimau dan taekwondo: tentera Korea di Quy Nhơn Quy Nhơn adalah pangkalan bahagian infanteri Korea Selatan, "The Tigers". Dengan sejumlah 300,000 askar dari tahun 1965 hingga 1973, pasukan Korea ditugaskan untuk mengusir askar Viet Cong di pergunungan dan dataran di kawasan desa Bình Định. Walaupun terdapat hubungan antara kepimpinan tentera Amerika dan Korea, Harimau di Quy Nhơn berkoordinasi dengan tentera AS, dan misi pengintaian infanteri Korea memberikan maklumat untuk serangan kapal perang Amerika yang merosakkan rangkaian gua Viet Cong yang besar - dan sebahagian besar tebing dan kawasan sekitarnya - di pantai 15 km (9 mi) selatan Quy Nhơn. Askar Korea mengajar taekwondo kepada penduduk tempatan di luar Quy Nhơn. 1965. Orang Korea di Quy Nhơn terkenal dengan taekwondo. Setiap askar melakukan latihan seni mempertahankan diri secara intensif dua kali sehari. Di lapangan, Harimau memakai pakaian tempur, tetapi di pangkalan, mereka memakai seni mempertahankan diri putih dobok pakaian seragam. Taekwondo bukan untuk pertunjukan: Korea sering menyerang bunker Komunis kecil dan mengalahkan gerila Vietnam dalam pertempuran tangan-ke-tangan. Menggambarkan pembunuhan yang ditimbulkan oleh Harimau dalam satu kejadian seperti itu, seorang askar A.S. berkata: "Saya tidak pernah melihat begitu banyak leher yang patah dan tulang rusuk dalam hidup saya. Kami membantu membersihkan apa yang tersisa." Pasukan Korea menunjukkan penduduk kampung Bình chartnh sebuah carta - berlabel bahasa Korea - perangkap boob Viet Cong. 1968. Bahasa adalah masalah berterusan bagi orang Korea, tetapi mereka membuat penyelesaian tanpa kata-kata untuk menyampaikan mesej mereka kepada penduduk tempatan Bhnh :nh: pameran awam tentera menggunakan tangan kosong untuk memecahkan batu bata — demonstrasi yang tidak begitu halus kepada penduduk kampung mengenai apa yang dilakukan oleh Harimau di lapangan hingga ke tulang belakang Komunis dan simpatisan mereka.

Berlayar dari Okinawa, marinir A.S. mendarat untuk pertama kalinya di Quy Nhơn pada bulan Julai 1965. Bersiap menghadapi tembakan musuh, mereka terkejut apabila mendapati ratusan wanita dan kanak-kanak di pantai menyambut mereka. Orang Amerika segera menghadapi masalah dengan alam di Bình Định — serangga, ular beracun, monyet mencuri makanan dari barak, kera merah-coklat misterius yang mengeluarkan suara menyalak keras — dan tentera yang gugup yang tidak biasa dengan keadaan tropika menimbulkan ketawa di kalangan penduduk Quy Nhơn dengan berusaha menembak haiwan yang menceroboh. Tetapi dengan sokongan penduduk tempatan, tentera A.S. melintasi kawat berduri di semua jalan, menetapkan perintah berkurung setiap malam dari matahari terbenam hingga matahari terbit, dan dengan cepat membina garnisun yang sangat terkawal di bandar.

Penduduk tempatan memanfaatkan peluang ekonomi yang ditunjukkan dengan kedatangan ratusan ribu tentera, dan sebahagian besar Quy Nhơn masa kini dibina semasa tahun-tahun perang. Kedai dan restoran muncul menjual makanan Amerika, bar dibuka untuk menawarkan minuman murah untuk askar, dan walikota sendiri membuat sedikit keuntungan ketika dia mengubah balai kota menjadi rumah pelacuran peribadi untuk pegawai A.S.

Pesawat serangan Amerika tiba di Quy Nhơn pada tahun 1965. Setelah juruterbang mengadu dengan teruk mengenai pembinaan lapangan terbang yang ada dan landasan kecilnya di pusat bandar (berhampiran Coopmart sekarang), tentera Amerika dan Korea membina pangkalan udara di bandar Phù Cát 30 km (19 mi) barat laut Quy Nhơn. Menampung lebih dari 100 pesawat dan beratus-ratus ribu kakitangan, Phù Cát menjadi salah satu pangkalan udara utama semasa perang dan perhentian kegemaran penghibur yang tampil untuk tentera AS, yang menjadi tuan rumah bintang Amerika 1960-an terkenal seperti Bob Hope, Racquel Welch, dan Ann-Margret. Kini berfungsi sebagai lapangan terbang awam utama di wilayah Bình Định, pangkalan udara Phù Cát pada akhir 1960-an adalah pusat pengeboman napalm dan defoliasi berjalan bertujuan memusnahkan tempat persembunyian Viet Cong di hutan dan pergunungan Vietnam Selatan.

"Tenang" kawasan luar bandar- memeras keluar tentera Komunis dari pangkalan tersembunyi mereka - adalah tujuan utama pasukan A.S., Korea Selatan dan Vietnam Selatan yang berpusat di Quy Nhơn. Sebagai tambahan kepada peranannya sebagai pangkalan operasi udara yang dilakukan di seluruh Vietnam Selatan, kawasan itu sendiri adalah tempat pertempuran darat besar dari tahun 1965 hingga 1968 di kampung-kampung seperti An Khê, 80 km (50 mi) barat laut dari Quy Nhơn di Highway 19 , Phù Mỹ, 50 km (30 mi) utara Quy Nhơn di pantai, dan Bồng Sồn, di pantai 80 km (50 mi) utara Quy Nhơn.

Ketika pertempuran meningkat di seluruh kawasan pedesaan, penduduk desa Bình Định dipaksa keluar dari rumah mereka, dan kem pelarian membengkak untuk menampung lebih dari 130,000 orang pada akhir tahun 1966. Kem terbesar adalah di bandar Quy Nhơn, dengan anggaran 30,000 orang tinggal di kemelaratan di tempat perlindungan sementara di pantai atau hanya tidur di atas pasir.

Quy Nhơn melihat sedikit pertempuran, tetapi tiga minggu sebelum serangan Tết, pada Januari 1968, pasukan Vietnam Utara dan Viet Cong menyerang kota itu. Pertempuran sengit berlangsung selama beberapa hari, berpusat di sekitar stesen kereta api, dengan bom tangan yang dilancarkan dari kedua belah pihak memusnahkan sebahagian besar kawasan. Tentera A.S. di bandar itu dan tentera Korea Selatan di luar bandar mengusir pasukan Komunis setelah beberapa hari, dan kota itu kebanyakannya bebas dari pertempuran selama sisa perang.

Pasukan dari A.S., Korea Selatan dan Vietnam Selatan mengusir sebahagian besar Viet Cong dari kawasan berpenduduk di sekitar Quy Nhơn pada tahun 1969, tetapi pasukan Komunis sangat berakar di kawasan pedalaman Bình Định. Ketika komitmen A.S. terhadap wilayah tersebut melemah, kekuatan Komunis bertambah banyak, dan pada tahun 1971 Viet Cong sekali lagi telah mendominasi seluruh B mostnh Định di luar Quy Nhơn dan Phù Cát.

Sebagai sebahagian daripada strategi "Vietnamisasi", pasukan Amerika dan Korea di Quy Nhơn dikurangkan dengan stabil bermula pada tahun 1970 dan ditarik sepenuhnya pada tahun 1973, menyerahkan semua garnisun kota dan luar bandar, serta pangkalan udara besar-besaran di Phù Cát, kepada yang berjuang Pasukan Vietnam Selatan.

Kekuatan Tentera Rakyat bertambah sepanjang tahun 1974, dan pada awal tahun 1975, kemenangan di Central Highlands memberi Hanoi pangkalan operasi yang diperlukan untuk menyerang Bình Định dan memisahkan Vietnam Selatan. Tentera Rakyat mula menyerang pangkalan udara Highway 19 dan Phù Cát pada awal Mac 1975. Menghadapi kerugian besar pada akhir bulan Mac, pemerintah Vietnam Selatan memberi perintah untuk meninggalkan wilayah tersebut. Wilayah itu meletus dalam keadaan huru-hara. Pasukan dan penduduk kampung berusaha keras untuk melepaskan diri dari serangan Tentera Rakyat yang maju; dilarang menggunakan jalan raya utama, mereka melalui jalan hutan dan jalan sawah di "lorong air mata" yang berusaha mencapai Quy Nhơn. Di bawah pengeboman berat, juruterbang Vietnam Selatan dengan tergesa-gesa menerbangkan 32 pesawat yang membawa ratusan tentera keluar dari lapangan terbang Phù Cát, tetapi meninggalkan 58 pesawat lain di landasan. Lebih 7,000 tentera Vietnam Selatan yang tersisa bergegas ke pelabuhan Quy Nhơn dan buru-buru menaiki kapal yang melarikan diri ke selatan. Tanpa tentangan lebih jauh, Tentera Rakyat bergerak maju dengan cepat dan merampas pangkalan udara Phù Cát dan bandar Quy Nhơn pada 31 Mac 1975. Tarikh tersebut diperingati setiap tahun sebagai hari pembebasan wilayah.

Sejak berakhirnya perang, pembersihan tanah telah menjadi tumpuan utama di Bình Định. Sebagai salah satu pangkalan utama pengeboman kimia A.S. di Vietnam, lebih daripada 3.5 juta liter Ejen Orange disimpan di sekitar Phù Cát dan Quy Nhơn. Bahan kimia bocor ke alam sekitar, dan tanah tetap terkontaminasi secara besar-besaran selama beberapa dekad, yang menyebabkan generasi kelahiran cacat dan barah berkaitan dengan dioksin. Bersama dengan pangkalan udara Da Nang (ẵà Nẵng) dan Biên Hòa, Phù Cát diklasifikasikan oleh penyelidikan bersama AS-Vietnam pada tahun 2010 sebagai salah satu kawasan panas yang paling tercemar di negara ini, dan dianggarkan bahawa usaha pembersihan akan menelan belanja lebih dari $ 60 juta . Setelah menghabiskan hanya $ 2 juta dana yang disediakan A.S. di Bình Định dan memindahkan lapisan kecil tanah atas berhampiran lapangan terbang ke tempat pembuangan sampah yang selamat, pemerintah mengadakan upacara besar pada tahun 2012 untuk mengisytiharkan wilayah ini bebas daripada pencemaran. Tetapi itu adalah keputusan kontroversial, kerana para saintis bebas menunjukkan bahawa pada tahun 2016 tanah masih memiliki lebih dari 400 kali tahap dioksin yang dapat diterima. Pengambilan kunci untuk pelancong: jangan bermain di kotoran berhampiran lapangan terbang.

Sebilangan besar tanda-tanda perang tahun telah pudar, tetapi beberapa jejak masih ada, terutama di kawasan luar bandar. Tugu rasmi besar di semenanjung Phương Mai memperingati pembebasan Bình Định tahun 1975. Muzium Bình Định di pusat bandar memaparkan banyak senjata Amerika dan Vietnam Selatan yang ditangkap oleh Tentera Rakyat, termasuk sebuah tangki dan senjata artileri howitzer. Quy Nhơn masih menempatkan sebilangan besar pangkalan tentera yang dibangun pada tahun-tahun perang, terutamanya di kawasan lapangan terbang dan kawasan luar bandar, tetapi beberapa terletak di pusat bandar di kawasan-kawasan utama yang mengejutkan berhampiran pantai. Dan di kawasan luar bandar yang tidak berkembang, tidak jarang mencari peralatan ketenteraan kecil; pada tahun 2012, pasukan gabungan Vietnam-Amerika bahkan menemui tempat nahas kapal terbang dan jenazah juruterbang A.S. yang hilang ditembak jatuh pada tahun 1966.

Masuk

Dengan kapal terbang

Lapangan terbang Phù Cát

• 13.955109.0422221 Lapangan terbang Phù Cát (UIH ^IATA). Lapangan terbang awam utama yang melayani Quy Nhơn dan kawasan Bình Định hari ini, dibina pada tahun 1966–67 oleh Tentera Udara A.S. dengan bantuan tentera Korea. Dengan lebih dari 100 pesawat dan puluhan ribu tentera, Phù Cát adalah salah satu pangkalan utama semasa perang untuk tentera udara A.S. dan Vietnam Selatan. Pada bulan Mac 1975, setelah pemerintah Vietnam Selatan di Saigon memerintahkan tenteranya untuk meninggalkan wilayah tersebut dan melarikan diri ke selatan, lapangan terbang itu disita oleh Tentera Rakyat Vietnam, yang terus menggunakannya hingga hari ini sebagai lapangan terbang tentera untuk Angkatan Udara Vietnam. Ketika ekonomi berkembang pada tahun 1980-an dan awal 1990-an, terminal sipil telah dibina dan bekas pangkalan tentera diubah menjadi lapangan terbang komersial wilayah itu.  

Sehingga musim bunga 2016, Phù Cát dilayan oleh syarikat penerbangan Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, dan JetStar / JetStar Pacific dengan jumlah lapan penerbangan balik harian dengan Saigon dan dua dengan Hanoi. Tiket sehala dari mana-mana bandar biasanya berharga AS $ 60-90 untuk syarikat penerbangan bajet dan US $ 80-110 untuk Vietnam Airlines. Dengan perancangan awal lebih dari seminggu, anda sering dapat mencari tiket di syarikat penerbangan anggaran dengan harga serendah US $ 50.

Beberapa teksi menunggu di hadapan lapangan terbang selepas setiap penerbangan. Sekiranya anda tahu anda memerlukan teksi, adalah selamat untuk menghubungi anda terlebih dahulu dan ada yang menanti kedatangan anda. Dari lapangan terbang Phù Cát ke Quy Nhơn mengambil masa lebih kurang 30 minit dengan teksi dan berharga 350,000-450,000 dong, bergantung pada destinasi akhir di dalam bandar.

A Bas ulang-alik berjalan dari lapangan terbang ke pusat bandar selepas setiap penerbangan. Tiket dibeli di dalam bas dan berharga 50,000 dong setiap orang. The shuttle bus waits just outside the airport on the right-hand side when you exit the terminal. There's only one shuttle bus per flight; it's small and fills up quickly after passengers collect their luggage from the tiny baggage carousel, so to be guaranteed a spot, head outside segera after landing and claim a seat before the crowd arrives. Bags are allowed at no extra fee, although your luggage might get messy as all the suitcases are stacked inside the shuttle bus and passengers often use them as extra seats or footrests. The shuttle bus passes for about 45 minutes through the lush green fields of the countryside, dropping people off in the small villages along the way, and ends in the city centre at the parking lot in front of the airline building at 1 Nguyễn Tất Thành street (the address is misleading; the building is at the corner of Phạm Hùng and Mai Xuân Thưởng). There's a pleasant outdoor cafe two steps from the shuttle drop-off spot where you can wait. Taxis and motorbike taxis (xe ôm) are occasionally available when the shuttle arrives, but you definitely can't count on it; if you'll need onward transportation, just ask a friendly passenger in the bus for help to call a taxi and the cab will wait for you at the drop-off spot at no additional charge.

By car or motorcycle

As the biggest city between Hội An and Nha Trang, Quy Nhơn is often used by Vietnamese and local travellers as a convenient overnight stop for coastal trips.

The scenic Highway 1D connects Quy Nhơn to Nha Trang 220 km (135 mi) to the south, offering stunning views of the coast and beaches as it wraps around mountain passes. Traffic is light, and you can easily average at least 40 km (25 mi) per hour throughout the whole journey.

Hội An lies 290 km (180 mi) to the north of Quy Nhơn on Highway 1. The road is well-maintained in most areas, but in comparison to Highway 1D heading south, traffic is heavier and the views are less impressive. The road winds on and off the coast and often passes through small villages where locals use the highway to dry seeds, which can significantly reduce the space available for driving and make the journey slow and potentially hair-raising. Most drivers won't average more than 30 km (20 mi) per hour.

Diêu Trì train station

Quy Nhơn is served by the Diêu Trì train station on the main Vietnamese north-south reunification line.

The station lies 13 km (8 mi) to the northwest of the city. A taxi between the city centre and Diêu Trì station costs 120,000–175,000 dong. A local bus runs between the station and the city centre once per hour and costs 3,000 dong per ticket.

In addition to the main Diêu Trì station, there is also a much smaller station in the city centre just off Lý Thường Kiệt street near the Quang Trung roundabout. The small train between Diêu Trì and the central station takes 25 minutes and costs 30,000 dong. Not all north-south trains from Diêu Trì have connections to the station in central Quy Nhơn, but if your train does, it's a cheap and convenient alternative to a taxi.

Seats on the main north-south national train routes can usually be purchased on the day of travel at Diêu Trì station, but beds, particularly the soft beds in the four-person berths, sell out frequently; at high times, it's best to book a week or more in advance.

Approximate prices and trip length:

• Da Nang (Đà Nẵng): 6 hours. Hard seat 150,000 dong. Soft seat 200,000. Hard bed 250,000.
• Nha Trang: 4 hours. Hard seat 110,000 dong. Soft seat 145,000. Hard bed 175,000. Soft bed 210,000.
• Saigon: 13 hours. Hard seat 300,000–555,000 dong. Soft seat 350,000–700,000. Hard bed 550,000–735,000. Soft bed 650,000–1,000,000.

Dengan bas

The main bus station is at the base of the mountains on the southwest edge of the city. The entrance is on the west side of Tây Sơn street between Cần Vương and Vô Liêu streets. The location is convenient for buses, providing direct access to the main highway, but it's a sparsely-inhabited industrial area of town. If it's your first glimpse of Quy Nhơn, don't worry: the city is banyak nicer than what you see when you arrive.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day of travel from the several bus company offices in the covered area of the ramshackle station. In the week before and several weeks after the Tết holiday, advance bookings are essential, and even then buses might be fully sold out or cancelled. But at most other times, tickets are almost always available for next-day travel and quite often for same-day travel. Tickets purchased in Quy Nhơn tend to cost slightly less than the reverse route purchased in a bigger city.

Quy Nhơn's small-town fairness extends to bus tickets. In contrast to other Vietnamese cities, you won't be charged more because you're a foreigner: as long as you buy directly from the bus company ticket window in the Quy Nhơn bus station, you'll pay the same price as locals.

Quy Nhơn is hundreds of kilometres from other major cities, and bus companies offer many different options for covering the distance: the price, length of journey, quality of bus, and number of stops vary considerably between different buses. In general, direct buses from Quy Nhơn are 25,000–75,000 dong more expensive and can be a few hours faster than those which make local stops. Overnight trips tend to be faster and more reliable in their estimated arrival times than daytime journeys. As in other cities in Vietnam, bus companies in Quy Nhơn are notorious for driving at breakneck speeds through the countryside. But they still invariably end up arriving later than the very optimistic time estimates they give you. Be prepared that your bus ride might end up taking at least an hour or two longer than promised... and maybe a lot more.

As a rough guide, the trip length and typical prices for one-way tickets from Quy Nhơn are:

• Dalat (Đà Lạt): 9–12 hours. 175,000 dong.
• Da Nang (Đà Nẵng): 6–9 hours. 110,000 dong.
• Huế: 8–11 hours. 200,000 dong.
• Nha Trang: 5–7 hours. 90,000 dong.
• Saigon: 12–15 hours. 235,000 dong.
• Vinh: 16–20 hours. 410,000 dong.

Keliling

Dengan menaiki motosikal

Quy Nhơn is a pleasant city for driving your own motorbike. Traffic is slow and light, particularly when compared to bigger cities such as Saigon, Da Nang atau bahkan Nha Trang. Cars are much less common than in the bigger Vietnamese cities, which also helps make motorbike driving smooth and safe. Most streets don't have—or need—traffic lights. Nowhere within the city is more than 15 minutes away by motorbike. And parking is free everywhere.

For exploring the surrounding areas, a motorbike is even more ideal. The kilometres of empty beaches north and south of the centre, the mountains on both sides of the bay, and the surrounding countryside and archaeological sites can all be reached very easily in day trips from the city.

Awak boleh rent motorbikes from all hotels in the city. Many hotels rent the bikes out, and those which don't always have connections with a bike renter. You have the choice of automatic transmission or semi-automatic (left-foot gear shift, but no clutch needed). The price should be at most 100,000 dong per day; anything more means that the hotel—or the hotel staffer helping you—is getting a nice commission from your payment.

Dengan teksi

Taxis are generally ordered by phone. The taxi call-centre operators speak no English and probably won't understand your pronunciation of the street names when you request pick-up, so the most effective strategy is to ask a Vietnamese-speaker to make the call on your behalf.

Taxis can also be hailed on the street, but there aren't many empty cabs driving around. Standing on the street and waving in vain at full taxis does tend to attract locals, though, who might kindly call a cab for you.

A typical short ride within the city costs 15,000–30,000 dong. From the far east side to the west costs about 60,000.

• Sun Taxi, ☏ 84 56 368 6868. Largest taxi service in Quy Nhơn. Fare: 5,000 dong for the first 500 metres, 11,300 for each additional kilometre up to 30.5 km, 9,300 for each kilometre after 30.5 km. 

Dengan basikal

Quy Nhơn is pleasant for bicycling as the city is fairly flat and traffic is light.

The main promenade runs directly next to the beach, and with views of the ocean and mountains, a perfectly flat road and very little traffic, it makes for a delightful little jaunt. Bicycles are also great for day trips to explore beaches and archaeological sites in the surrounding area which are too far for walking.

Bicycles can be rented at a few hotels, but bike rentals aren't common and most hotels won't be able to help you. Cafe Ô Mê Ly, a slightly shady karaoke club on the west side of the Coopmart shopping complex on Lê Duẩn street, has a small street-side business offering a few bicycles for rent, including tandem (two-person) bicycles. Prices are negotiable; locals pay 20,000 dong for an hour and 100,000 for a day.

Dengan berjalan kaki

On the one hand, Quy Nhơn is a wonderful city for walking. Traffic is very light, and crossing the street isn't the life-threatening hazard that it is in the bigger Vietnamese cities. People are friendly and constantly greet foreigners with "Hello". And many of the lanes are very picturesque: old wooden houses, street vendors on every block, peeks of local family life visible through the always-open doors, and sidewalks lined with trees and Vietnamese flags. Additionally, the well-maintained beach promenade is beautiful for a stroll and quite often nearly empty of other people.

And if you're just going for an ocean holiday and will stay at a hotel close to the beach, you can definitely get by on foot and with the occasional taxi.

On the other hand, although it's not a huge city, Quy Nhơn is quite spread out, and winding streets can make walking times slightly longer than what you'd expect given the as-the-crow-flies distances. Even at a brisk pace, it could be 20–30 minutes to walk from the central areas to the beach, while a walk from the far southwest end all the way to the eastern tip takes about 90 minutes. And the beaches and archaeological sites in the surrounding countryside are definitely too far for any walking trips.

Terdapat Pengangkutan awam of any type that is useful for getting around within the city.

Bottom line: if you want to explore the city and don't fancy walking for hours, plan on taxis or your own motorbike. But if strolling for hours as you explore quaint streets sounds like fun, then it's a fabulous walking city.

Quy Nhơn cyclo driver and passenger

Cyclos have fallen out of favour, but there are still more than 100 full-time cyclo drivers in the city.

In contrast to bigger cities where the cyclos are often marketed to foreigners, cyclos in Quy Nhơn are mainly used by locals. Customers are often either older residents who don't drive or street vendors transporting food and goods cheaply. The drivers are all men and are usually older than 45.

Because of their local customer base, the cyclo drivers generally wait for customers in the main streets of the city rather than at the beach. They often congregate near local markets; for example, there are usually a handful waiting at the southern end of the central market at Tôn Đức Thắng and Trường Chinh streets.

Drivers speak no English, but they're expert in the geography of the city, so to get started, just point on the map to your destination or show them its address. Harga boleh dirunding. A short ride of 1–1.5 km costs locals about 7,000 dong. Most cyclo drivers in Quy Nhơn aren't used to foreign customers. They might initially request higher prices from you than they offer to locals, but in contrast to other Vietnamese cities, they're not mercenary: a smile and a little friendly bargaining will quickly get them down to local levels.

By motorbike taxi

Beberapa xe ôm (motorbike taxi) drivers exist, but in contrast to cities such as Saigon, motorbike taxis are fairly rare and cannot be relied on as a normal mode of transport.

Although full-time xe ôm drivers can be quite difficult to find, enterprising locals will often offer foreigners a quick ride for a fee or even for free.

You negotiate xe ôm fares in advance before starting the ride. The price should be a slight discount to what a taxi would cost for the same route, but drivers often initially ask foreigners high prices for small trips, e.g. 60,000–100,000 dong for a trip that should cost 20,000.

Dengan bas

Disana ada no local bus routes of any real use serving the streets of the central city.

For trips to the bays and coast south of the city centre, there is a bus between Quy Nhơn and Chí Thanh which stops in Bãi Xép, the tiny fishing village which has become popular among Western tourists. From Bãi Xép to the city, the bus route passes along the coast and north over the mountain into Quy Nhơn, heads past the main bus station and makes several stops along the beach promenade before ending on the west side of the Coopmart shopping complex. It runs hourly from 05:30 to 17:30.

Pantai

• Bãi Xép beach and village. With deserted beaches, hilly islands close to shore, and round wooden fishing boats bobbing in the water, the tiny village of Bãi Xép 10 km (6 mi) south of the city centre has become a popular destination for international tourists looking for seaside tranquililty. It's part of the city, but the little hamlet is a world of development away from even sleepy Quy Nhơn's decided lack of buzz and feels more like a remote island than a suburb. The access road to the village is a tiny lane running down the hill from Highway 1D. At the bottom, the lane splits into two one-metre wide passages between the villagers' houses: the left leads to the cove used by the fishermen, while the right takes you to a secluded beach and two guesthouses run by and for foreigners. At the south end of the Bãi Xép cove past a fence is the only luxury hotel in the region, the Avani Beach Resort; it shares the same tranquil waters and postcard view of the nearby islands, but its end of the beach is private and off-limits to non-guests.
  Running over the mountains and high above the shore, the road between Quy Nhơn and Bãi Xép has jaw-dropping views, and there are many points along the highway where you can stop to take panoramic pictures of the city and the coast. North and south of Bãi Xép are many bays below the highway. The most popular are the bucolic hamlets of Bãi Bàng and Bãi Bầu, 5 km (3 mi) south of Bãi Xép, but there are dozens of little coves which you can explore between the jagged rocks along the entire stretch of coast. 
• Beach promenade and city beach.
  

  Quy Nhơn beach promenade
  The nicely-maintained beach promenade stretches almost without interruption for 5 km (3 mi) along the southeast coast of Quy Nhơn city. Bordered on both sides by layers of mountains receding into the hazy distance, the natural beauty of the city's waterfront setting has inspired poets for centuries. The contrast to more developed beach resorts such as Nha Trang is stark. Much of the Quy Nhơn beach is unused and empty even in peak tourist season. There are no commercial watersports, boat rides, surfing or tours. In the more central areas 1 km on either side of Nguyễn Tất Thành street, locals play football (soccer) and volleyball on the beach, Vietnamese tourists run (often fully clothed) into the water, and families enjoy picnics. The few vendors scattered along the promenade selling food and drinks to local tourists are low-key and don't aggressively tout their wares. In the central beach area, a few hotels and private individuals offer lounge chairs in the summer months. A tiny semi-permanent amusement park in a grassy area next to the beach offers carousel rides primarily for kids.
  With grainy sand a dark shade of yellow, slightly murky water, no international food options, no nightlife, a sleepy atmosphere, and a notable lack of tourist infrastructure in general, Quy Nhơn is far from a typical beach paradise... which is precisely the draw of this beautiful setting for those looking to escape the mass tourism of big resorts. 

Bãi Kỳ Co on Phương Mai peninsula

Sandy solitude Since 2005, provincial authorities have promoted the barren Phương Mai Peninsula as an economic development zone. They completed the longest sea bridge in Vietnam, constructed a highway down the spine of the 20 km (12 mi) long peninsula, built infrastructure, and even meticulously planted thousands of trees and bushes. Happy with their work, they marketed it to investors as a site for oil refineries, industrial factories, and tourist resorts, but nature had other ideas. It turns out there's too much sand... and it never stops coming. High winds from ocean storms push the sand over the land, covering the roads, the vegetation, the factories and any people caught out in the gusty weather. A decade after completion of the bridge, much of the peninsula is still undeveloped, many investment projects were cancelled or delayed, and the factories constructed must frequently clean out the invading sand. The province tried to fight back—workers shovel the deserted highway clean, and projects have been designed to better withstand the sand onslaught—but development has been slow and the empty peninsula has the eerie feeling of a "build it and they will come" scheme gone bad. Sand, sand, sand What's tough news for the economic development zone is good news for travellers. The beach on the east side is enormous and much of the northern half is empty of people or development. It's hard to find such a vast stretch of undeveloped and desolate beach so close to a city anywhere in Southeast Asia. It's a fortunate mix of just enough development to make it easy to reach but not enough to blemish the pristine coast. That situation won't last long—as of 2016, development of luxury tourism sites, oil refineries, bottling plants and lumber factories is underway—so take advantage while you can: hop on a motorbike, take a drive over the bridge, and enjoy in solitude the never-ending piles of sand.

• Phương Mai peninsula. The Phương Mai peninsula (see sidebar) is the easiest—and probably only—place in Vietnam to enjoy kilometres of beach in utter solitude. The beach on the northeast side of the peninsula is almost completely empty for over 10 km. Just leave your motorbike anywhere you like on the side of the highway and scramble over the 300-metre wide sand dunes to reach the coast. Take off your shoes and enjoy: in dry season, the pale-yellow to crystal-white sand squeaks pleasantly underfoot. Small sand hills line the coast; those who manage to scale their slippery heights are rewarded with views of the mountains in the north and of the never-ending coast stretching off to the horizon in the south. There are no stores and no shade, so be sure to take water and lots of sunscreen.
  In contrast to the rolling sand dunes of the northern part of the peninsula, the shore at Bãi Kỳ Co in the south-central area is sharply framed by rocky boulders and stunning cliffs. Jump from the 10-metre (30-foot) cliffs into the clear blue ocean, play in pools of fresh water trapped amongst the inland boulders, swim in salt water lakes connected by underwater passageways to the ocean, hop in a wooden boat for a one-hour jaunt with fishermen to explore the islands just off the coast, or scramble up the jagged cliffs closest to the shore for perfect photo opportunities of the ocean and coast. If you're really adventurous, hike the trail through the mountain forests: the three-hour trek from the top down to the beach takes you through spectacular boulder passes and mountain creeks. And anywhere you are, you can't miss the largest Buddha statue in Vietnam, the 30-metre (100-foot) golden statue constructed in 2014 of Avalokiteśvara, the embodiment of infinite compassion of all Buddhas, looking out over the water.
  Tetapi Bãi Kỳ Co is changing rapidly: after years of plans deferred and broken, luxury development began at the end of 2015. An 18-hole golf course drafted by Jack Nicklaus's design company had a partial opening in February 2016 and is the anchor of Hanoi-based FLC Group's drive to build Vietnam's first seven-star luxury resort in the area around Eo Gió beach. So enjoy the area while it's still in its natural state... and still open to the public.
  The mountains on the mainland just to the north of the peninsula have several attractions which are popular with local Bình Định tourists. One kilometre north on Highway 640 past the junction with Highway 19 is the Buddhist Temple Chùa Ông Núi. Founded in 1702, the temple sits on the mountain to the west of the highway and has stunning views of the coast and the ocean. Near the temple closer to the shore is a massive stone and metal sculpture which commemorates the capture of Bình Định by People's Army's forces in March, 1975. Behind the cafe on the road opposite the sculpture, a steep boulder walkway carries an odd mix of selfie-shooting locals and gruff fishermen down to a picturesque cove crammed with round wooden trawlers sandwiched between the water and the cliffs.
  The easiest way to explore the peninsula from Quy Nhơn is to rent a motorbike and drive over via the Thị Nại bridge. From the city centre, take Nguyễn Tất Thành to Trần Hưng Đạo. At the large intersection, head north on Võ Nguyên Giáp. You'll cross four small bridges as you pass through industrial parks and agricultural fields on all sides. After 3 km, the road bends east and you'll see the 2.5-kilometre long Thị Nại bridge stretching forlornly across the sea. At least, hopefully you'll see it: the crossing is notorious for being covered in fog and strong winds even when the city is sunny, so take care when on the bridge not to get blown over by the gusts of air, water and sand. After reaching the peninsula and passing a petrol station on the right, you'll reach a confusing series of roundabouts; most head to factories and the not-yet developed areas, so be careful to follow the signs for Highway 19B. Once you're on Highway 19B, it's a straight line north for 20 km (12 mi) to the top of the peninsula. 

Cham towers

• Tháp Bánh Ít (Banh It Cham Towers, Silver Towers), Đại Lộc village, Tuy Phước district (halfway between Quy Nhơn and Phù Cát airport). Daily 07:00–11:00 and 13:30–17:00. Salah satu daripada best large sites of Cham ruins still surviving, and certainly the most accessible and best restored in the countryside, Tháp Bánh Ít (Banh It Cham Towers) is a cluster of four towers built in the 10th–11th centuries on a hilltop overlooking the river 17 km (10 mi) northwest of Quy Nhơn. The Cham constructed the Bánh Ít site to fit in harmony with the environment, and while not as enormous as ancient sites in Angkor atau Borobudur, the site even today is a beautiful medley of rolling countryside hills, river and towers. Although the site had nothing to do with silver, early French colonialists named Champa sites after minerals, and their name of "Silver Towers" stuck and is still used today by many foreign sources. The most common name used for the towers by the Vietnamese, Bánh Ít, is also the name of the local sweet cake specialty.
  Approaching from the east, the first tower is the 13-metre (42-foot) gate. Up the hill from the gate are the three larger towers. The biggest is 20 metres (65 feet) high, with intricate carvings of humans, birds, flowers, and the elephant god Ganesa and the monkey god Viyu in dancing pose. The architectural style is unique among Cham ruins for the vertical columns and grooved tiles, the use of sandstone for the roof edges, and false doors topped by soaring arches in the shape of spears. The site held many statues, but sadly, most of them were shipped off to Europe by French colonialists in the late 19th century. The most impressive of the artworks, an intricately-carved 11th-century statue of a three-eyed Shiva seated on a lotus, is held in the Musée Guimet in Paris, while copper statues of Genesha, Uma, and Brahma vanished into private French collectors' hands in the early 20th century.
  If you're feeling particularly adventurous, the undeveloped countryside around the main towers is full of small centuries-old ruins. Although only the four complete towers survive, the area had many more buildings, and poorly-funded archaeological surveys haven't had the resources to completely investigate the grounds. Small fragments are hidden in many places in the undergrowth, and, with luck, you can even find complete corner pieces of several buildings overgrown by trees, particularly to the east of the main site. But don't disturb anything: you're allowed to explore the ruins, but it's illegal to take, sell, export, or damage any historical relics in Vietnam.
  The Bánh Ít site is just east of the junction between Highway 1A and Highway 19. Halfway between Quy Nhơn and Phù Cát airport, you can easily combine a visit with a trip to or from the airport. As with all sites outside the city centre, driving your own car or motorbike is the most convenient transportation option as it gives you the flexibility to explore the surrounding countryside. A taxi from the city takes 15–30 minutes to the towers and costs about 100,000 dong from the north centre of the city and up to 200,000 dong if coming from the southwest beach side. Two bus routes, T4 and T6, run infrequently from stops in the city at the Quang Trung roundabout and Tháp Đôi Towers, leaving you a 20-minute walk from the towers at the junction of Highway 1A and Highway 19. The bus costs 10,000 dong, but if you're tight on time, stick to a taxi: the bus schedule is infrequent and even the scheduled buses often fail to appear.
  Another transportation option is the airport shuttle bus which services arriving and departing flights. From the airport, the shuttle bus travels south down Highway 1A. If you stand on the west side of the road, you can hail the bus. Tickets normally cost 50,000 dong from the airport, but if there's space in the shuttle, the driver will pick you up and take you to the city for 25,000 dong from the towers. Entry to the towers is 10,000 dong and parking 5,000 dong, but the site is little visited and it's possible you might enter and never see anyone or be asked for money. 
• Tháp Dương Long (Duong Long Cham Towers) (50 km (30 mi) northwest from Quy Nhơn). Daily 07:00–11:00 and 13:30–17:00. Three Cham towers built in the late 12th century, about 50 km (30 mi) outside Quy Nhơn. These impressive towers are the tallest Cham structures still remaining in Vietnam: the centre tower is 24 m (78 ft) high, while the two outside towers each measure 22 m (72 ft). The bodies of the towers are made from bricks, while the bases are built from massive carved boulders. Patterns carved into the bases show a glimpse of ancient Cham culture: flowers, gods, elephants, large human breasts, dragons. The towers were in the middle of a civic area, which now can only be seen in the ruins and artefacts strewn about on the surrounding grounds. The site feels abandoned and wild. Money for preservation and restoration was cut in the late 2000s, and except for the occasional presence of a caretaker, the site is utterly empty and you'll probably be alone as you explore the area. There is no information at the site.
  Menyewa your own motorbike is the cheapest and most convenient transportation option. A taxi from the city costs 500,000–600,000 dong one-way. There is no bus. The towers can be combined with a day trip to the Quang Trung museum 10 km to the west. Entry ticket—when the caretaker is present and awake—costs 3,000 dong. 

Tháp Đôi Cham Towers

• Tháp Đôi Cham Towers (Thap Doi Cham Towers, "The Twin Towers"), Trần Hưng Đạo (between Đặng Xuân Phong and Tháp Đôi). Daily 08:00–11:00 and 13:00–18:00. 2 km from the city centre, the Tháp Đôi are the most accessible Cham towers dalam negara. The Hindu Cham people started construction on the two 20-metre (65 ft) towers in the 11th century after establishing Vijaya as the capital of their empire and the port city of Quy Nhơn as its economic engine. Three towers were planned, but for unknown reasons, only two exist, and the site became known to the Vietnamese as Tháp Đôi ("The Twin Towers"). Unusually for Cham architecture, the Twin Towers eschew the traditional multi-storey square construction in favour of a large rectangular base topped by a carved pyramid structure. The towers were built from brick in the typical Cham style in which pieces were tiled closely together and then baked into a solid block, with the unusual addition of crushed stone for support. The outer structure and external sculptures were made from sandstone. The art and architecture share many characteristics with Angkor sites in present-day Cambodia thanks to the frequent exchange—in both peace and war—between Champa and the Khmer kingdom. This later Cham period is particularly characterized by the intricate and ornate animal statues and carvings which the Cham adopted after moving their capital to Bình Định. The holy bird Garuda rests on top of the vegetation-covered roofs, protecting the towers from evil forces, while below are detailed carvings of giant lotus bases, elephants, lions, monkeys and humans dancing. The towers were restored in the 1980s and 1990s with help from a Polish archaeological team, and the area around them has been developed into a small park, with trees and grass surrounding the archaeological site and shielding it from the traffic outside (ironically, one of the only noisy stretches of road anywhere in the city is Trần Hưng Đạo street directly in front of the towers). The neighbourhood just to the north of the towers is a pleasant and quiet residential area on the banks of the river, with a few local cafes and restaurants. Entry ticket costs 20,000 dong per person as of 2019. Unlike the Cham towers in the countryside, ticket collectors at Tháp Đôi are always present and awake, so you'll definitely be asked to pay. 

Kuil Buddha

• Chùa Hiển Nam, 3 Trần Thị Kỷ (between Diên Hồng and Hàm Nghi), ☏ 84 56 352 0888. Medium-sized Buddhist temple a four-minute walk from Coopmart just west of Nguyễn Tất Thành Street. Several of the buildings and statues are under re-construction in 2016, but the grounds and temple are open to visitors daily from morning to evening. 
• Chùa Long Khánh, 141 Trần Cao Vân (main entrance between Tăng Bạt Hổ and Phan Bội Châu). Large and very important Buddhist temple in Quy Nhơn city and Bình Định province. The temple was first constructed in the early 1700s, but nothing of the original structure remains. The current main building was erected in 1956, and the Buddha statue and lotus pond were completed in 1972. The 1.7 m (5.6 ft) high, 700 kg (1,500 lb) bell was believed to have been cast in 1805. Inside is a statue of Avalokiteśvara, the embodiment of infinite compassion of all Buddhas, who uses his thousand arms to reach out to help the suffering masses. To the side of the temple is a 17 m (56 ft) bluestone statue of Amitābha (Vietnamese: A-di-đà), the celestial Buddha, resting upon a 5 m (16 ft) lotus base. Entrance is free every day from early morning until late evening. 

Chùa Minh Tịnh

• Chùa Minh Tịnh, 35 Hàm Nghi (between Võ Lai and Ngô Mây). Large and active Mahayana Buddhist pagoda complex in the city centre a 10-minute walk west from Coopmart. Founded in 1917 outside the city, it was moved in the 1960s to its current location in order to make room for the expansion of the airport during the Vietnam-American war. The well-maintained temple, which is surrounded by a spacious and peaceful grounds with many colourful statues, is an active and working centre of spiritual studies, community outreach, charity activities. Visitors welcome daily from morning to evening. 

Chùa Phổ Minh on the riverbank in the north of the city

• Chùa Phổ Minh, Lê Thanh Nghị (northern side of riverside quay, 50 m (160 ft) east of the bridge). Impressive and little-visited Buddhist temple of 800 m² (8,600 ft²) set on tranquil riverside grounds of 1,800 m² (19,000 ft²). Work began on the site in 2011. Soon after, five workers were gravely injured in a major accident when the concrete and steel of the third floor collapsed. Construction was suspended, but with the prayers of the monks and the enthusiastic support of the injured workers, the community overcame its grief and the temple was finished in 2013. 
• Chùa Tâm Ấn Tự, 58 Ngô Quyền (entrance at southwest corner with Tăng Bạt Hổ). Active Mahayana Buddist temple on a tranquil 2,000 m² (21,000 ft²) site. A small hut on the grounds began serving as a spiritual home for monks in the 1920s, but was destroyed during war activities in the 1940s. The temple was restarted under new spiritual advisers in 1955, and the structure was built out very, very slowly. After 40 years of glacial progress, construction on the current temple picked up pace in the 1990s and was finished in 1995. The well-maintained temple boasts a 150-kg (330-lb) bell. Open to visitors daily from morning to evening. 

Tượng Phật đôi, the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam, towers over the coast on the Phương Mai Peninsula.

• Chùa Tịnh xá Ngọc Nhơn, 999 Trần Hưng Đạo (100 m (330 ft) west of busy intersection with Đống Đa). Buddhist temple in the northwest of the city. Nestled amidst the trees and set back against the mountain, the temple's 2,500 m² (27,000 ft²) grounds are a surprisingly peaceful contrast to the bustle of the heavily-trafficked street outside. It was built in 1959, and was restored from 1995 to 1999. Open to visitors daily from morning to evening. 
• Chùa Trúc Lâm, 512 Trần Hưng Đạo (at corner of Đoàn Thị Điểm), ☏ 84 56 381-2577. Well-maintained six-storey Buddhist temple in the northern end of the city centre. Open to visitors daily from morning to evening. 
• Tượng Phật đôi, Eo Gió, Nhơn Lý (from Quy Nhơn city centre, follow directions to Phương Mai Peninsula; once on the peninsula, the statue is off Highway 19B at Bãi Kỳ Co cove on the south-central east coast).

Constructed in 2014, the base is designed to hold the ashes of 8,000 local families. 

Christian churches

• Giáo xứ Hòa Ninh, 128 Nguyễn Huế (near intersection with Phạm Ngọc Thạch). 
• Ghềnh Ráng Church, 21 Tây Sơn (near intersection with Mai Hắc Đế). 
• Quy Nhơn Cathedral (Nhà thờ chính tòa Quy Nhơn), 122 Trần Hưng Đạo (near junction with Lê Thánh Tông), ☏ 84 56 382 3017. First built as a local parish in 1892, the church underwent a massive expansion in the 1930s when it became the seat of the regional Catholic Diocese. The 47-m (155-ft) spire houses a 1,800-kg (2-ton) bell donated in 1962 in Catholic outreach efforts by the predominantly Polish congregation of St. Pancratius Church of Chicago. During the war years in the 1960s, the Quy Nhơn Cathedral served as a refuge for displaced locals, and as a place of worship for American soldiers. 
• Quy Nhơn Evangelical Church (Chi Hội Quy Nhơn), 71 Hai Bà Trưng (10 m (33 ft) west of intersection with Lê Lợi), ☏ 84 56 382 4791. 

Museums and buildings

• Bình Định Museum (Bảo Tàng Bình Định), 26 Nguyễn Huế (between Lê Lợi and Lê Thánh Tông). Tu–Sa 07:00–11:30 and 13:30–17:00. Located in the east of the centre near the Municipal People's Administrative buildings, this small building has a large collection of Cham artefacts making it more interesting than you'd expect for a small provincial museum. The museum's Cham collection has grown significantly over the last two decades as new expeditions jointly conducted with Belgian and Japanese archaeological teams and Polish restoration experts have excavated and preserved new pieces in the province. The museum, founded in 1980, also houses several American weapons, including a tank and howitzer artillery guns, which were captured in the province by the Vietnamese government in 1975. Oddly, the weapons are haphazardly interspersed amidst Cham artefacts, both inside the museum and in the surrounding outdoor gardens. An additional highlight of the museum, the currency collection, is continuing to expand as scholars work with Chinese experts to survey the artefacts. But unfortunately, the museum itself is underfunded, poorly maintained, and has very little useful information in English. Entry ticket 5,000 dong. 
• Municipal People's Government Offices, 30 Nguyễn Huệ (at corner of Lê Lợi). Imposing and stern complex of several multi-storey buildings housing the city-government offices built in classic communist architectural style. The largest of the buildings towers over the surrounding neighbourhood and is visible from the beach. Its stern architecture is the butt of many popular jokes among the less reverent locals. The complex is lit bright at night with white and red lights. No organized tours are available, but the office workers are happy, albeit surprised, to give a tour from bottom to top if you ask. 
• Quang Trung Museum (Bảo tàng Quang Trung), Phú Phong, Tây Sơn District (44 km (27 mi) northeast of Quy Nhơn on Highway 19/19B). Daily 07:00–11:00 and 13:30–17:00. Emperor Quang Trung, also known as Nguyễn Huệ, is the most celebrated of the Tây Sơn brothers, rebels who led a peasant uprising in the 18th century which conquered feudal houses in the north and south and created a unified and independent Vietnam. He's a revered national hero who was—and still is— celebrated throughout Vietnam and the diaspora for his military victories and support of the common people. Quang Trung and his two brothers were born in Tây Sơn village, and the town's museum honoring him and his family is very important in national politics, with many past and present leaders having visited since its 1978 construction to pay their respects publicly. For Vietnamese—in Vietnam and in the diaspora—who spent their childhood learning his legends, the museum can be very interesting. But for foreigners who have never heard of him, it's less exciting. Kompleks ini menempatkan artifak dari pertempuran serta seni, kostum, dan dokumen asli dari zaman Tây Sơn. Tetapi koleksi ini kurang dipaparkan, terdapat sedikit maklumat dalam bahasa Inggeris, dan lokasinya cukup jauh dari pusat bandar sehingga hanya berharga sendiri jika anda sudah berminat dengan Quang Trung. Tetapi jika anda sudah berada di kawasan menjelajahi reruntuhan Cham atau melakukan perjalanan antara Quy Nhơn dan Pleiku, kawasannya sangat indah dan terdapat beberapa pertunjukan seni mempertahankan diri setiap bulan. Acara khas diadakan setiap tahun pada 5 Januari, ulang tahun Pertempuran Ngọc Hồi tahun 1789, ketika Quang Trung mengalahkan tentera China yang menyerang setelah meminta pasukan petani untuk "berjuang untuk menjaga rambut kita panjang, berjuang untuk menjaga gigi kita hitam."
  Menyewa motosikal anda sendiri adalah kaedah termurah dan paling senang untuk sampai ke muzium. Teksi dari bandar berharga 400,000-500,000 dong sehala. Tidak ada bas. Muzium ini dapat digabungkan dengan perjalanan sehari ke Menara Long Cham Dương yang terletak 10 km ke timur. Tiket masuk 10,000 dong. 

Seni mempertahankan diri di Bình Định: kelahiran, kematian, dan kelahiran semula Patung seni mempertahankan diri di persiaran pantai Bình Định telah nadi seni mempertahankan diri di Vietnam sejak abad ke-15. Menurut legenda setempat, teknik ini pertama kali dikembangkan oleh petani yang perlu mempertahankan diri dari pencerobohan, pencuri, dan binatang gunung yang gersang di wilayah terpencil dan tanpa hukum. Kemahiran tempur diasah dan diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi, dan 300 tahun kemudian, seniman bela diri Bình Định adalah pasukan barisan depan ketika pahlawan tempatan Nguyễn Huệ menyatukan negara ini pada abad ke-18. Sebagai rasa syukur, setelah menjadi maharaja, dia mengatur sistem yang ditaja oleh negara, dengan sekolah, pertandingan, perakuan dan peranan ketenteraan rasmi. Tetapi zaman kegemilangan itu tidak lama. Setelah kematian Nguyễn Huệ pada tahun 1792, dinasti feudal baru melancarkan semua jejak seni mempertahankan diri Bình Định. Sekolah ditutup dan pertandingan dilarang dekad demi dekad kerana setiap kekuatan berkuasa berturut-turut - dinasti Nguyễn imperialis, penjajah Perancis, Vietnam Selatan, Vietnam Utara - semuanya takut akan kekuatan legenda pahlawan seni mempertahankan diri Bình Định. Tetapi para pejuang terus berlatih, secara diam-diam bersembunyi di kuil Buddha bila perlu, dan menyampaikan tradisi mereka selama 200 tahun ke depan. Menjelang akhir abad ke-20, ketika sikap rasmi terhadap tradisi budaya Vietnam semakin hangat (dan para pejuang seni mempertahankan diri dianggap kurang mengancam pertahanan negara), Seni bela diri Bình Định keluar dari bayang-bayang. Sekolah dan pertandingan dimulakan semula, dan kejayaan antarabangsa pejuang tempatan menyebabkan kebangkitan semula populariti. Pada tahun 2012, zaman telah berubah begitu banyak sehingga pemerintah provinsi sekali lagi mulai menyokong seni mempertahankan diri baik sebagai kegiatan untuk penduduk setempat dan sebagai daya tarikan pelancong. Adegan seni mempertahankan diri hari ini berkembang pesat. Puluhan sekolah kecil telah dibuka di desa-desa di sekitar Quy Nhơn, dengan masing-masing menawarkan salah satu dari dua gaya utama Bình Định, pertempuran kakitangan dan pertempuran "tangan kosong". Muzium Quang Trung yang menghormati Nguyễn Huệ mengadakan gala seni mempertahankan diri setiap tahun pada ulang tahun kekalahan Vietnam yang menyerang pasukan China pada tahun 1789. Festival seni mempertahankan diri dua kali ganda dan pertandingan yang dimulakan pada tahun 2006 menghimpunkan ribuan pejuang dari seluruh Vietnam dan dari luar negara (Rusia, khususnya, telah menghasilkan beberapa pejuang berkualiti tinggi dari sekolah Bình Định). Pameran sekali diadakan beberapa kali setiap tahun di plaza pusat di bandar. Patung-patung pejuang seni mempertahankan diri terkenal dari masa lalu Bình hnh menyusuri persiaran pantai. Dan pada tahun 2015, ribuan pelajar, berkali-kali seperti yang diharapkan, muncul ketika sekolah Quy Nhơn mula menawarkan kelas seni mempertahankan diri ekstrakurikuler. Berbeza dengan tradisi seni mempertahankan diri yang lain, kanak-kanak perempuan secara sejarah penting dalam pertempuran Bình Định (sebuah lagu tradisional yang terkenal menasihatkan lelaki muda yang belum berkahwin di seluruh negara untuk "Menuju Bình Định, untuk mencari gadis cantik yang melakukan seni mempertahankan diri yang kuat"), dan berabad-abad kemudian, tradisi itu juga dibangkitkan apabila gadis - tanpa sasaran rasmi - mewakili hampir separuh pelajar baru. Berabad-abad setelah dilarang secara paksa dan dihalau di bawah tanah, seni mempertahankan diri menjadi bulat dan sekali lagi menjadi tonggak kehidupan budaya Bình Định.

Beli

Quy Nhơn adalah bukan syurga membeli-belah.

Di tengahnya terdapat pasar raya Coopmart, dan di kawasan yang belum berkembang di barat daya terdapat pasar raya besar C dan kedai pukal Metro. Itu sahaja untuk kedai besar.

Di luar itu, Quy Nhơn hampir tidak mempunyai kedai rantai yang ada di bandar-bandar Vietnam yang lebih besar. Tidak ada kedai serbaneka seperti Family Mart atau Shop & Go. Tidak ada kedai serbaneka. Dan bandar ini jauh, jauh dari layar radar peruncit antarabangsa dengan operasi di Vietnam seperti Gap, Nike dan Mango.

Sebilangan besar kedai di bandar ini — dan kafe serta restoran dan rumah tumpangan — dikendalikan dari rumah keluarga. Pakaian, telefon bimbit, topi keledar motosikal, minuman, peralatan sukan ... apa sahaja yang anda beli, kemungkinan keluarga yang menjualnya kepada anda tinggal di lantai di atas kedai.

Waktu Siesta

The siang petang telah pudar di kebanyakan kota Vietnam, tetapi masih berkuasa tertinggi di Quy Nhơn yang mengantuk. Sebilangan besar perniagaan — semua bank, kebanyakan pejabat dan kedai runcit, sebilangan besar kafe walaupun — ditutup selama beberapa jam pada waktu petang. Waktu yang tepat berbeza-beza mengikut perniagaan, dan banyak tempat di tempat lain tidak mempunyai waktu tetap, namun panduan kasar adalah yang paling banyak dibuka pada waktu pagi sekitar jam 08:00, tutup untuk rehat makan siang yang panjang dari jam 11:00 atau 11:30 hingga beberapa waktu sekitar jam 14: 00–15: 00, dan buka semula pada waktu petang hingga 20:00.

Wang

Sebilangan besar perniagaan tempatan di Quy Nhơn adalah tunai sahaja. Hotel dengan bajet lebih tinggi menerima kad kredit, tetapi hampir semua hotel bajet rendah dan sederhana hanya tunai. Sangat sedikit kedai, kafe atau restoran yang menerima kad kredit atau debit.

Terdapat ATM di seluruh bandar. Sebilangan besar menerima kad bank asing tanpa masalah. Had pengeluaran maksimum berbeza mengikut bank, antara 2,000,000 hingga 3,500,000 dong setiap pengeluaran.

Kepekatan ATM terbesar terdapat di sebelah utara Coopmart di Trần Thị Kỷ antara jalan Nguyễn Tất Thành dan Lê Duẩn. Enam bank menawarkan ATM dalam jarak dekat antara satu sama lain: Techcom, VietinBank, Agribank, Dong A Bank, ACB, Maritime Bank.

Dolar A.S. boleh ditukar di banyak pejabat bank di seluruh bandar. Bil mesti cukup baru dan dalam keadaan baik; bil yang sedikit usang atau lebih tua dari 10 tahun sering ditolak. Tidak perlu pasport.

Beberapa cawangan bank mungkin juga dapat menukar euro, pound Britain dan dolar Australia, tetapi ini adalah sedikit peluang, dan dolar AS baru dalam keadaan baik akan menyebabkan anda kurang masalah.

Beberapa kedai emas dan barang kemas di pusat ini juga menukar dolar dengan cepat dan sering pada kadar yang sedikit lebih baik daripada bank. Mereka juga lebih bersedia untuk menerima bil yang lebih tua atau lebih usang, walaupun dengan harga yang lebih rendah.

Makan

Sarapan pagi di jalan

Dengan beratus-ratus nelayan mengangkut hasil tangkapan harian mereka setiap pagi dan kilometer restoran pantai terbuka, Quy Nhơn adalah bandar yang hebat untuk makanan laut segar. Tetapi di luar kemasyhurannya yang terkenal sebagai syurga pesat sepanjang tahun, ia juga menawarkan peluang kepada pengembara yang berpetualang untuk mencuba makanan istimewa yang sedikit diketahui di luar wilayah Bình Định. Dan untuk sebuah bandar kecil, Quy Nhơn dapat membanggakan dengan mengejutkan banyak pilihan restoran vegetarian.

Berbanding dengan bandar-bandar Vietnam yang lain, restoran tidak rasmi dan murah. Pelanggan biasanya duduk terus di jalan atau di dalam ruang tamu pemilik restoran yang boleh digunakan. Di semua tempat kecuali tempat paling mahal dan beberapa tempat bajet pertengahan, meja dan kerusi adalah alat yang goyah dan sering pecah yang diperbuat daripada plastik dan aluminium yang murah. Tempat-tempat yang lebih baik malah sering diletakkan di dalam taman yang separa terbuka daripada yang anda bayangkan sebagai restoran dalaman yang lebih khas. Harga mana-mana hidangan di Quy Nhơn jauh lebih murah daripada di bandar-bandar besar - keseluruhan kepingan kerang berharga kurang dari satu cengkerang di Saigon — dan anda boleh mengisi dengan mudah hanya dengan beberapa dolar di kebanyakan restoran dan dengan harga kurang dari satu dolar dalam tempat vegetarian.

Masih jauh dari rangkaian pelancong antarabangsa, restoran hanya memenuhi cita rasa penduduk tempatan dan pelancong Vietnam. Selagi anda menjauhkan diri dari tempat-tempat yang sangat sedikit yang dipasarkan kepada pelawat antarabangsa, anda akan selalu menjadi satu-satunya orang asing di mana sahaja anda pergi semasa anda menemui kek beras kukus, roti babi daun jambu batu, mi kue ikan, pot kerang mendidih dalam sup serai, kerang masih di cangkang panggang dengan kacang dan sambal di atas api terbuka, daging sapi panggang, sate kambing, siput yang dimasak dengan ramuan dan santan, dan hidangan vegetarian dalam suasana gaya homestay.

Ia adalah barangan fantasi makanan bawah tanah: sebuah bandar pesisir dengan pelbagai pilihan makanan tempatan dan segar, sepenuhnya tidak terjejas oleh rantai antarabangsa dan masih belum ditemui oleh pelancongan besar-besaran. Ikuti pemandangan restoran tempatan dan anda akan mengalami sisi Vietnam yang tidak dapat anda temui di tempat lain.

Makanan istimewa tempatan

Bánh bèo chén

• Bánh bèo chén ("Cawan kek Waterfern") adalah kek beras kukus dalam cawan dengan bawang merah goreng dan udang kering di atas, dihidangkan dengan sos celup. Sangat biasa di wilayah Bình Định. Pelajar dan pekerja makan cawan demi cawan - bahagian biasa ialah 10 cawan setiap orang - duduk di meja kecil di tepi jalan di seluruh bandar Quy Nhơn. Penjual didirikan di banyak penjuru jalan pada waktu petang dan awal malam. 1,000 dong setiap cawan.
• The kek manis bánh ít lá gai ("Kek kecil dengan gai daun") dibuat dari beras ketan, gula, kacang hijau, halia dan (kadang-kadang) kelapa, diselimuti oleh tumbuk gai daun dan kemudian semuanya dibungkus dengan daun pisang. The gai daun - nama Inggeris biasa: daun pinat; nama botani: Boehmeria nivea var. tenacissima- tidak terkenal atau sering digunakan di luar Vietnam. Dihancurkan dan dikukus, ia berubah warna kehijauan-kehitaman dan menambah kontras yang sedikit pahit dan kenyal pada rasa aromatik dari bahan-bahan lain. Tidak dijual di kedai dan oleh peniaga jalanan, mis. tepat di luar pasar pusat di sudut timur laut jalan-jalan Tôn Đức Thắng dan Trường Chinh. Hidangan yang dibungkus daun pisang juga ditawarkan di banyak restoran, di mana mereka disusun di atas meja; anda hanya mengambil seberapa banyak yang anda mahukan dan dikenakan setiap keping. 3.000 dong setiap kek.

Banci hỏi dengan daging babi dan bawang merah

• Hai hni adalah sebatang bihun beras yang ditenun menjadi bungkusan kecil, disajikan dengan daging babi dan bawang merah goreng atau dengan minyak dan bawang. Anda boleh mendapatkannya siap untuk makan di restoran atau dibawa pulang oleh penjual di tepi jalan. Penjual jalanan yang paling terkenal menjual dari pagi hingga petang di sudut jalan Trần Phú dan Nguyễn Công Trứ. Perintah pengambilalihan bnn hỏi dibungkus dengan daun pisang dengan minyak dan daun bawang, berharga 10,000 dong, sementara sepinggan untuk dimakan segera, disajikan dengan daging babi dan bawang merah, berharga 20,000 dong.
• Nem chợ huyện ("Gulungan pasar Huyện") adalah gulungan babi dengan saus kacang, cabai dan ramuan. Dikenali sebagai keistimewaan semenanjung Phương Mai, gulungan ini membungkus masin, manis, masam dan pedas dalam satu gigitan kecil. Ini dapat dibuat dengan daging babi segar, yang dipanggang di atas arang dengan gula, garam dan kulit babi, atau daging babi yang diperam, yang dibungkus dalam daun jambu biji selama tiga hari untuk memberikannya rasa pedas masam dan kemudian ditutup dengan daun pisang untuk berkhidmat. Satu gulungan boleh dimakan sebagai makanan ringan cepat, atau banyak dimakan bersama sebagai makanan lengkap. Anda boleh mendapatkan gulungan di banyak restoran tempatan dan penjual jalanan di seluruh bandar Quy Nhơn. Atau menuju ke tempat kelahiran mereka, pasar Huyện di daerah kecil Phước Lộc di desa Tuy Phước, 2 km (1 mi) dari Menara Bánh Ít Cham dan 18 km (11 mi) barat laut Quy Nhơn, di mana 17 kedai tidak jauh dari Lebuhraya 1A telah mengeluarkan ribuan gulungan setiap hari selama lebih dari 100 tahun. 3.000 dong setiap satu.

Restoran makanan laut

Kerang kecil direbus dalam sup serai (con nghêu hấp) disajikan di rumput di seberang pantai

Di seberang jalan dari persiaran pantai terdapat puluhan restoran terbuka yang mengkhususkan diri dalam makanan laut segar dan tempatan: siput, tiram, kerang, kepiting, kerang, udang, ubur-ubur dan banyak jenis ikan.

Sebilangan besar restoran dikendalikan oleh keluarga yang tinggal di atas atau di belakang restoran mereka di jalan Trần Đức yang sempit. Makanan dimasak dengan api terbuka dan pemanggang arang yang tumpah di mana-mana di jalan. Pelayan bergerak berulang-alik di seberang jalan sambil mengelak motosikal, jalan berlubang, kucing dan anjing yang mengembara, dan kebakaran sesekali marak di luar kawalan. Pelanggan makan di meja dan kerusi plastik rendah yang terletak di rumput dan di antara pokok-pokok di tengah-tengah jalur lebar di antara jalan-jalan Xuân Diệu dan Trần enjoyingc, menikmati pemandangan pantai, teluk dan pergunungan 180 darjah.

Sebilangan besar restoran pantai sangat mirip dengan harga, kualiti dan pilihan, tetapi beberapa menawarkan pilihan yang lebih luar biasa atau mahal seperti udang karang (sepanjang tahun) dan ketam Raja (musim musim bunga). Makanan laut semuanya ditangkap secara tempatan, jadi harganya berubah-ubah berdasarkan musim dan keadaan memancing, tetapi panduan kasarnya adalah: piring tiram, kerang, siput, kerang, kerang, atau kerang: 30,000-45,000 dong; piring tiram: 40,000-60,000 dong; pinggan udang bakar: 60,000 dong; sotong bakar: 60,000-80,000 dong; ikan bakar: 50,000–120,000 dong; periuk panas (untuk 2-4 orang): 200,000 dong. Harga hanya sebatang pantai 30-50% lebih murah, tetapi tanpa pemandangan laut yang luar biasa.

Restoran terdapat di banyak tempat di sepanjang perairan, tetapi tumpuan tempat paling tinggi adalah di kedua-dua sisi Trần Đức di jalan Phan Đăng Lưu, dengan 11 restoran bersebelahan. Hanya di sebelah barat jalan Lê Lợi adalah sekumpulan besar tujuh tempat yang sedikit lebih murah.

Bánh xèo

Bánh xèo adalah makanan yang sangat popular di Quy Nhơn, dijual di pelbagai tempat termasuk restoran khusus, gerai separa kekal, dan tempat sementara di hadapan rumah.

Penduduk tempatan sangat berbangga dengan mereka bnn xèo, dengan bersungguh-sungguh menyatakan bahawa beberapa perbezaan kuliner utama membuat versi mereka sejauh ini yang terbaik di Vietnam. Berbeza dengan gaya Vietnam selatan yang lebih terkenal, yang bnn xèo di Quy Nhơn dimasak tanpa asam jawa dan kecil dan nipis. Krep tepung beras dan air digoreng dengan tauge di atas kuali minyak yang mendesis. Pelanggan memilih bahan utama; pilihannya berbeza dari penjual ke penjual, tetapi boleh merangkumi udang, daging babi, daging lembu, ayam, sotong, dan telur puyuh (lihatlah). Lempeng yang dimasak dilipat dan disajikan kepada pelanggan, yang membungkusnya bersama timun segar, pudina, ketumbar, dan selada ke dalam sepotong kertas beras yang agak kaku yang telah dicelupkan ke dalam air cukup untuk memberikan sedikit kelenturan tetapi tidak cukup untuk kehilangan keperitannya. Gulungan itu kemudian dicelupkan ke dalam sos tempatan yang terkenal, ramuan coklat manis yang terbuat dari kacang panggang, kacang soya yang diperam dan gula aren.

Kawasan kejiranan tertentu telah berkembang menjadi bnn xèo bidang khas, di mana restoran atau penjual di tepi jalan berkumpul dalam persaingan mesra antara satu sama lain. Suasana, suasana dan harga sangat berbeza di setiap tempat, tetapi — walaupun setiap tempat mempunyai peminatnya yang bersumpah demikian mereka tempat adalah yang terbaik - makanan dan penyediaannya serupa di mana-mana tempat di bandar. Kawasan yang paling terkenal adalah di jalan Diên Hồng di sebelah selatan Lê Duẩn di pusat bandar, di mana empat restoran bersebelahan menghasilkan beratus-ratus penkek per jam untuk aliran pelanggan yang ramai setiap hari dan petang. Dunia yang terletak di Đng Đa dan jalan-jalan di sekitarnya di pantai utara, terutamanya berhampiran pasar Ch covered Đầm yang dilindungi, adalah pusat bandar bnn xèo tradisi; dua restoran penuh dan banyak penjual di tepi jalan menawarkan versi hidangan mereka dalam suasana yang tidak begitu sibuk dan kurang pelancongan daripada Diên Hồng. Dan di pasar makanan malam kecil di tepi persiaran pantai, di Ngô Văn Sở dan lorong-lorong sekitarnya antara Nguyễn Huế dan Nguyễn Lạc, beberapa vendor bersaiz kecil dan sederhana menyiapkan bnn xèo setiap malam.

• Gia Vỹ. Yang paling terkenal bnn xèo restoran di Quy Nhơn mempunyai dua cawangan. Yang terbesar - dan pastinya paling turis - bnn xèo tempat di bandar ini adalah Gia Vỹ 2, yang terletak di hujung utara sekumpulan empat restoran yang bersaing bersebelahan di jalan Diên Hồng. Factory-like in its efficiency and size, circus-like in the bustle of the cooks, waiters, and boys running around trying to corral passing motorcyclists inside, the restaurant offers indoor and outdoor (across the street) seating. The original Gia Vỹ, on Đống Đa in the northern end of the city, is much smaller, more local and massively more tranquil than the second branch. Prices are the same at both branches: 25,000 dong per plate of two pancakes.

Periuk panas (lẩu) is by far the most popular food in Quy Nhơn for groups of family or friends eating out. Terdapat berpuluh-puluh hot-pot specialty restaurants throughout the city. Additionally, even restaurants that don't specialize in it quite often still offer some form of hot pot.

Quy Nhơn hot pot is similar to other regions throughout Vietnam. Beef or pork is typically the main protein, although some venues—including almost all along the beach promenade and nearby side streets—also offer seafood. The cooking style varies between places: most offer a pot of stock simmering on a bucket of coals, while some places give diners a semi-circular metal tray for grilling the food in butter or oil.

Vegetarian

Disana ada dozens of vegetarian restaurants in Quy Nhơn.

The majority of the restaurants are very small family-homes within a block or two of a Buddhist temple; look for signs saying "Chay" (vegetarian) in front of houses and small alleyways. The meals offered can be quirky—in a good way—and are often quite pleasant discoveries after the monotony of the standard vegetarian fare in Vietnam. And the setting—eating with every generation of the owner's family smack-dab in the middle of their house at their living room table—makes the experience feel very much like a homestay. However, the opening hours of these little family operations are completely random; on full moon days, they're usually open from morning to early evening, but at other times, it's hit or miss.

The larger vegetarian restaurants offer the advantage of more predictable and regular hours. But they generally have (slightly) higher prices and the food selection is the more typical vegetarian fare in which the meat and fish in the standard Vietnamese noodle and rice dishes are simply swapped out for meat-substitutes like seitan and tofu. Buddhist monks are frequent diners at the vegetarian restaurants; a few of the more gregarious ones speak some English and often chat up any foreigners to learn about life abroad.

• An Bình, 141 Trần Cao Vân (directly north of main entrance to the temple, between Tăng Bạt Hổ and Phan Bội Châu). Mid-sized vegetarian just north of the temple.

Minum

Cafes are the centre of social life in Quy Nhơn. They come in all sizes: huge and impressive, small and quaint, tiny and jammed between parked motorbikes in a family's living room. They're in every style: knee-high tables on street corners, outdoor gardens with wooden verandas, hipster joints infused with attitude, cubbyholes serving milk tea to teenagers on bamboo floors, tables set amidst bonsai forests. And with over 1,000 cafes for a city of only 300,000 people, you find them everywhere: on the beach, in the city centre, on the sides of the mountains, on median strips in the middle of streets.

Cafe hours can be tricky to predict. Most cafes are open in the prime hours in the late afternoon and evening, and many are also open in the early morning. But the exact hours vary a lot from place to place. Even at one cafe, the hours will vary from day to day based on customer flows, the weather, and the owner's schedule. Lunchtime is also hit-or-miss: some cafes always take a siesta break, some always work through lunchtime, and many just open or close based on the whims of the day. As a general reference, a typical schedule might be to open at 07:00 or 08:00 in the morning, close for a break from 11:00 to 15:00, then serve until 21:00 or so.

As for nightlife.... the answer is "no". Quy Nhơn has no real nightlife to speak of. There's one slightly dodgy neon-and-smoke-machine nightclub. Most restaurants open at night have beer—or will find some for you—and many cafes serve cocktails, but there's nothing like a bar scene where people mingle over drinks. The majority of places close by 22:00, and by midnight the city is almost deserted. So kick back in an open-air cafe or restaurant, lap up the sea views and ocean breezes, and enjoy the city's sleepy small-town vibe.

Quy Nhơn city

Despite the hopes of local officials to turn Quy Nhơn into a mega beach resort similar to Nha Trang, with 10-storey chain hotels packing international travellers into every nook of the beach promenade and smaller hotels stretching the tourist zone several blocks back from the coast, accommodation is still very low-key. As of 2016, only a few hotels of more than five floors are scattered over the kilometres of prime beach-front streets, and many blocks in front of the ocean are either completely devoid of buildings or have only a patchwork of small residential houses and gardens.

Almost all visitors to Quy Nhơn are local Vietnamese tourists, and the accommodation options cater to them in terms of hotel styles, food, and service. And with very few international travellers, English language knowledge is almost zero: plan on lots of hand movements for communicating in all but the handful of higher-end places. On the plus side, though, you'll find prices that are significantly cheaper than in other beach cities in the country, no scams or higher rates for foreigners, and a personal friendliness that overcomes all language difficulties (well, many of them, at least).

Online reservations are available through the standard international booking websites for all the more expensive hotels and a few enterprising budget inns, so if you like, you can guarantee yourself a room before you arrive. But you won't find the majority of low- and mid-budget places on the internet: either have a Vietnamese-speaker call by phone to reserve for you, or just show up and ask when you arrive. Hotel growth hasn't been massive, but it definitely has outpaced tourist numbers in the last decade, and even in the Tết holiday period or peak summer months, you'll never have a problem finding a room for the night if you just ask around a bit.

Bãi Xép fishing village

The bay of Bãi Xép, a hamlet of Quy Nhơn 10 km (6 miles) south of the city centre, has a total population of a few hundred people, dogs, cats and chickens. There is one lane, a handful of wooden homes, a few people selling rice crackers and gum from their creaking verandas, and a hand-pumped water well which doubles as a rather touch-and-go mini electrical station.

But this tiny fishing village has become an unlikely focus of international tourism in the region. With deserted beaches, hilly islands close to shore, and round wooden fishing boats bobbing in the water, it's an ideal destination to stay if you're looking to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful seaside holiday. The good and the bad of staying here are the same: there's tiada apa-apa to do except lounge on the beach in utter tranquility.

In an odd twist of fate, the small beach and one-metre wide lane of Bãi Xép is the only place in the entire province where you're guaranteed to find lots of foreigners, and the tiny hamlet is still adjusting to the effects this tourism is causing. Despite some effort by the hotels to minimize their negative influence, it's impossible for 100 rooms designed for relatively-rich foreign tourists not to have a big impact on the environment and the village culture in such a tiny place. And although the hotel managers plead with their guests to respect traditional village ways, tourists shower gifts and money on the local children, which leads the kids—and their families— to lose interest in the fishing life. It's a complicated issue underway right now and it's not at all resolved: there are lots of conflicting opinions from locals, tourists, hotels, and provincial authorities regarding what, if anything, should be done about the situation.

In contrast to Quy Nhơn proper, the hotels in Bãi Xép are all geared towards foreigners. Most of the staff speak fluent English, and many of the managers and workers are foreigners themselves. Online booking is advisable at all times... and an absolute necessity in the peak season. The contrast with the city is also clear in the higher prices: even the low-budget dorm beds in Bãi Xép generally cost as much as—or more than—private double rooms in the city, and at the high end, the tiny fisherman's cove can boast of having the only luxury resort in the province.
