The Quy Nhơn area has been inhabited since the 11the century, when it was part of the Champa culture. The town of Quy Nhơn was established in the late 19th century. The area is surrounded by forested mountains and rice fields. Taking advantage of its location on the coast, Quy Nhơn has developed its seaport and related industries. It is one of the three main towns along the coastal region, apart from Da Nang and Nha Trang.

Visitors to Quy Nhơn can try its local specialty, which is a type of noodle dish served with fried fish.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
