Quy Nhon is a coastal city and is located roughly in the middle of Vietnam. The catchment area of ​​Quy Nhon covers approximately 284.28 km² and about 255,000 inhabitants (2004) live there, 234,000 of them in the city itself.

history

The region around Quy Nhon was the center of the Cham kingdom Vijaya from the 11th century. The citadel of Cha Ban, not far from the city, was the seat of the royal dynasty. In 1471 the Vietnamese conquered Vijaya and then occupied the region. The Cham fled to the south or to Cambodia.

Historically, Quy Nhon was a city that lived mainly from fishing and agriculture. During the Vietnam War there was a large presence of the American armed forces in the city and its surroundings with a large logistics base and a newly built airport right in what is now downtown Quy Nhon. The airport area was completely closed at the end of the 1990s, redesigned and is now the new center of Quy Nhon.
