According to Lonely Planet, the attraction of Quy Nhon (Gia Lai) comes from the harmonious combination of natural landscapes, cultural heritage and peaceful rhythm of life. This place owns long white sand beaches, clear blue water and ancient Cham towers, coastal fishing villages and unique cuisine.
Unlike many famous sea destinations that are under pressure from the crowded number of visitors, Quy Nhon still maintains a peaceful space and slow pace of life. Tourists can stroll along coastal roads, enjoy fresh seafood or relax by the beach when sunset.
Lonely Planet suggests tourists explore Quy Nhon by motorbike to fully feel the beauty of the coastal roads. Among them, Ky Co is one of the prominent destinations with crescent-shaped sand beach embracing turquoise water. Bai Xep is also mentioned thanks to its pristine beauty and characteristic coastal culinary space.
Besides the natural landscape, the coastal fishing villages around Quy Nhon bring opportunities to experience local life. Visitors can wake up early to watch the sunrise, explore the rhythm of life of fishermen and enjoy specialties such as squid pancakes.
Cham Pa cultural imprint is also one of the factors that helps Quy Nhon score points in the eyes of international tourists. Doi Tower located in the center of Quy Nhon ward or Banh It Tower on the top of a high hill are typical architectural works that still preserve many historical values.
In addition, Lonely Planet also suggests visitors visit Ong Nui Pagoda, about 30km from Quy Nhon center. Here, visitors can conquer more than 600 steps to admire the giant sitting Buddha statue and the sea scenery from above.
Being selected by Lonely Planet into the list of 25 most attractive destinations in the world in 2026 continues to affirm Quy Nhon's attractiveness on the international tourism map.
