With the enthusiastic guidance of a new hotel receptionist boy, I had the perfect itinerary for someone who likes to hang out in this lovely coastal city.
Day 1: Nhon Ly - Ky Co - Eo Gio fishing village
My best friend and I were determined to get up at half past six in the morning to have a full meal of vermicelli, before driving to Nhon Ly fishing village and taking a canoe to Ky Co. We wrapped a loofah full of swimwear, sunscreen, a beach towel, a good book, ready for a lazy day on the sand. The first is to go to My Hanh vermicelli restaurant. The meat is finely pounded, cooked, eaten with fresh vermicelli, raw vegetables, and the broth is a layer of fat, both fragrant and sweet. Here they also sell home-cooked soy milk, five thousand a glass, delicious enough for breakfast.
After that, the two of us jumped on a motorbike and ran for more than 20km to Nhon Ly fishing village. On the way through Thi Nai Bridge, the longest bridge across the sea in Vietnam. Nhon Ly fishing village is located quietly on steep roads facing the sea. The small houses are located close to each other, the walls painted in light gray are adorned with bright persimmon trees. We got off the car remotely and walked through the fishing village, not wanting to break the silence here.

From the fishing village, sitting on a canoe for only ten minutes, we came to Ky Co, a small beach in the bay that arced into the mountains. Ky Co Beach is only a few steps long, but the water is clear, blue sparkling in the sun, and the sand is golden and smooth, gentle and inviting. We waded out of the water to an empty cliff, spread towels to sunbathe, read, and then went to the sea to play with the water to cool off. Floating in the bright sun, I felt that no amount of time here would be enough.
In the afternoon, wandering in Eo Gio to admire the scenery for a while, we returned to Nhon Ly fishing village. Lazily spread the towel to the beach, simply lying down to play, talking, listening to the sound of the waves lapping. There was no plan to go anywhere, no urgency to do anything. In the cool afternoon, the two of them got on the car to Quy Nhon city, telling each other that next time they would camp in Nhon Ly to welcome the sunrise.

Day 2: Han Mo Tu Tomb - Queen Beach - eat and drink
Since we were only going to wander around the city, the next day we rewarded ourselves with a little more sleep, before getting up to eat porridge on Yanhong Street. From the parking lot of Ghenh Rang tourist area, you only need to walk up the hill for a few minutes to meet the tomb of Han Mac Tu.
At the foot of Thi Nhan hill is Hoang Hau beach, also known as Egg beach because of the round, smooth stone slabs on the water's edge. Hoang Hau Beach is very beautiful. The sea water is deep blue, the waves hit the "eggs" and they are white. From here, looking at the beach in the city, I saw a crescent moon hugging the huts. Floating on the water are big boats and small boats, which is a beautiful scene worthy of the king. Hoang Hau Beach is rocky and there is no sandy beach, so it is quite dangerous, not suitable for bathing, but watching the sunrise here is wonderful.

We spent the rest of the day filling our two hungry stomachs. Fish noodles, jellyfish noodles, Phuong Teo fish soup cakes have a sweet broth with quality sea fish rings, Ms. Tuyet's grilled spring rolls dipped in soy sauce with raw garlic and green chili peppers, Sau Cao chicken steamed with firm and delicious onions and a bowl of hot porridge.
In the evening, when Surf Bar, a lovely beach drinking shop was lit, the two of them immediately found a place to drink coconut water, enjoying the sea breeze. This café area is probably on the list of the most beautiful in the city.
At the end of the two days in Quy Nhon, I know that there are still many points that have not been reached in time, but I have no regrets. What if you haven't arrived yet? The next trip to Quy Nhon, I have already scheduled.
