Take a real look at what it’s like to explore Quy Nhon — its layout, vibe, and how it compares to inevitable hype.

I share my honest impressions with tips for solo travelers, digital nomads, expats, and anyone seeking the authentic Vietnam experience.

One thing is for sure: Quy Nhon’s tourist board should hire you as their marketing manager asap ❤

It’s a great honor to appear in your video. Wishing you lots of health and happiness. 🥰🇻🇳

Fug me, dont give them digital nomad bros any ideas. Quy Nhon is still enjoyable for a quiet getaway. You can kiss your 10k banh mi good bye once the nomad bros start setting up their laptops in cafes and asking for the wifi password.

Love Quy Nhon. Been there a couple of times. Cheap, good food. Clean, uncrowded streets. Nice beaches. The challenge for Quy Nhon is that it has to face competition from the two bigger cities Da Nang and Nha Trang with better access (direct flights) and popular travel destinations (Da Nang - Hue - Hoi An, Nha Trang - Da Lat - Mui Ne). Hope that it remains its charm until the Chinese tourists discover it (it's already a popular destination among Northern Vietnamese).

We met a guy who'd been teaching English there for five years and he said that the city had grown and tourist numbers jumped substantially in his time. But still, compared to Đà Nẵng (where I lived in 2006-8 when it was a sleepy backwater!) and Nha Trang, it's so much more pleasant. Sooner or later the secret will be out, so enjoy it while you can! Happy New Year from "East of the West" in the Ukrainian Carpathians!

Loved Quy Nhon! The vibe, great beach, low key, nothing like Nha Trang or Da Nang, such friendly people who smile and say "hello!" as they wave at you from their motorcycles or their chairs on the street, the seafood stalls packed with locals in the evening, boulevards and roundabouts, trees and cafes all over the place, hardly any tourists...

Your video deserves a better view my friend. Quy Nhon is my hometown but I haven’t been back for a visiting for nearly 30 years since I was borned. Observing the great change of my hometown is an honour for me as I have seen a chance to retire after a long life in Australia.
Compare to Da Nang, Nha Trang, Vung Tau, Quy Nhon will be a tourist boom in the next 5 years. Hopefully the city council keeps the original view and keep the beach town in a good shape for future growth.
Enjoy your trip in my mother land. Wish you all the best and stay happy in my country 🧡

I have been told this is the Vietnamese "secret" vacation spot. As you indicated, little or no foreign tourists. Thanks for stopping by our location (East West Brewery) on the beach and giving us a shout out. We appreciate that. We love it in Quy Nhon.

You have a great insight into Quy Nhon city, Vietnam! The city is very beautiful and youthful!

This city has the chill laid back vibe I'm looking for. Nice job on the video man!

Quy Nhon wins the hearts of visitors with its rare peacefulness—a place where time seems to slow down, allowing you to savor the beauty of every wave. The city is well-planned, clean, and filled with picturesque landscapes. Furthermore, the locals are immensely kind and always welcome visitors with the utmost sincerity. With extremely economical living costs, Quy Nhon deserves to be the most ideal destination for relaxation and retirement for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Welcome to Vietnam ✌️🫰🇻🇳❤️
Vietnam is the homeland of heroic warriors along with many historical landscapes recognized by UNESCO. Comparing Vietnam with other countries in the region has many different meanings and characteristics.

Thanks for sharing.

Excited to see a new episode. Love the new format. A mix of camera facing scenes, POV walking scenes and intersticials of the neighbourhoods. And as always, love your storytelling!

@ChrissieSM 1 year ago

Wow! What a beautiful place, like Danang but quiet and less crowded.

Great video by the way. Love Quy Nhon. But everyone can stay in Nha Trang and Danang. Leave the sleepy little beautiful beach town alone.
