Tuy Hòa is a coastal city in south-central Vietnam. Covering 240 sq km, it has a population of around 167,000 people (2011 estimate). The city is located by the bank of the Da Rang River before it empties into the sea.
On the hinterland side of Tuy Hòa is the Nhan mountain, where there's a Champa ruin, called the Nhan Tower. From that site, you can get a scenic view of Tuy Hòa spread out below.

Tuy Hòa is also the site of the Tuy Hoa Air Base, which was built by the US Air Force during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam People's Army seized the air base in April 1975 but abandoned it after a few decades.
Tuy Hòa, being slightly off the beaten path, has pristine beaches that are better known to the locals than to foreign tourists. Lately, the area has seen some development of holiday villas, as property investors take advantage of the low real estate prices.
