A Vietnam Beach City Still Underrated by International Tourists

Image
  Filmed: August 29 Time: Around 4 p.m. Location: Quy Nhon City Beach Compared with Da Nang and Nha Trang, Quy Nhon remains a relatively unknown beach destination among international travelers. It felt more like a vacation spot for Vietnamese visitors than a major international tourist destination. I walked along Quy Nhon’s city beach from around 4 p.m. until sunset. August is part of Vietnam’s summer season, but it also falls within the rainy season. The sky had already turned cloudy, as if rain could arrive at any moment. The beach stretched for a long distance, comparable to the coastline in Da Nang. Walking its entire length would have taken quite some time. Hotels, restaurants, cafés and shops lined the beachfront. They were not as large or flashy as those in Vietnam’s more famous tourist cities, but there was still enough here to make Quy Nhon feel like a true seaside resort destination. Some people were swimming or enjoying boating and other activities on the water, while...

Walking Through Quy Nhon’s Vietnam War History

Image
Filmed: August 29, around 3 p.m. Route: Nguyễn Tất Thành Boulevard to Quy Nhon Port Quy Nhon is known as a coastal city, but during the Vietnam War it was also an area where South Korean troops were stationed and U.S. forces carried out supply operations. Nguyễn Tất Thành Boulevard, now a main street in the city center, follows the site of the former Quy Nhon Airfield runway. On my first day in Quy Nhon, I decided to walk this road and continue to the port to see what remains of those places today. Today, Nguyễn Tất Thành Boulevard is part of everyday city life. When I reached the port, fishing boats of different sizes filled the water. Some of the larger boats, loaded with equipment, looked as though they could travel far out to sea. It was a different sight from the small fishing boats I had seen in Mui Ne. I found no obvious military structures or wartime atmosphere along my walk. Instead, I imagined aircraft using the old airfield and supplies moving through the port. Standing be...

Saigon’s Most Beautiful Night – An Evening on Vietnam National Day

Image
  Filmed: September 2, 2026 Time: 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM Location: Thu Thiem Riverside Park, Ho Chi Minh City September 2, Vietnam’s National Day, is one of those special days when Ho Chi Minh City feels more alive than usual. As night falls, thousands of people gather along the Saigon River. Vietnamese flags fill the streets, the city lights turn the riverside red and gold, and fireworks transform the familiar Saigon skyline into something completely different. I filmed this evening from Thu Thiem Riverside Park , looking across the Saigon River toward downtown Ho Chi Minh City. From here, the skyline, landmark buildings, reflections on the river, and the huge crowds waiting for the fireworks all come together in one view. Unlike New Year’s Eve fireworks, which usually begin around midnight, Vietnam National Day fireworks take place much earlier in the evening. That creates a very different atmosphere. Families with children, couples, groups of friends, and older residents can all c...
