Quy Nhon is a coastal city in the Binh Dinh Province of central Vietnam. On the railroad and coastal highway, it was a naval station and military base during the Vietnam War. Its small fishing port was dredged and improved by the United States military in 1965 and again by the Vietnamese government in 1977. The surrounding area was the scene of heavy fighting during the war, and the city was greatly swollen by refugees. The neighboring city of An Nhon (formerly Binh Dinh) was an old Annamese capital. Ruins of the ancient Cham center of Cha Ban are nearby. Nowadays, Qui Nhon is recognized as the second-grade city with a geography priority, a deepwater port, airport and a developing city infrastructure as well as one of the three commercial and tourism centres of the coastal southern centre region (with Da Nang and Nha Trang).
