Walking Through Quy Nhon’s Vietnam War History




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 beside a harbor now full of fishing boats, I spent time comparing the Quy Nhon in front of me with the Quy Nhon I imagined from its wartime history.






Quy Nhon may not be the first place to visit if you are looking for preserved Vietnam War sites. But for veterans who served here, or anyone who remembers these locations from that time, its ordinary streets and harbor today might hold a special meaning.

  Looking for a tropical getaway without leaving Ho Chi Minh City? I recently visited Isla Oasia , one of Saigon's most unique pool cafés. I filmed this walking tour on a warm Sunday afternoon in June 2026, and the atmosphere felt more like a beach club in Bali than a café in the middle of the city. From colorful cabanas and palm trees to crystal-clear pools, Isla Oasia offers a relaxing escape from the busy streets of Saigon. A Tropical Resort Hidden Inside Saigon As soon as I entered Isla Oasia, I immediately noticed the tropical design. Colorful umbrellas, palm trees, comfortable lounge beds, and a large lagoon-style swimming pool create the feeling of being on a beach vacation.

Before kickoff, the streets were already full of excitement. Groups of foreign visitors, many of them appearing to be from the UK and other European countries, gathered outside the bars. Some were singing, waving flags, and cheering for their team before the match even began. Almost every bar and restaurant had large screens showing the game. People stopped walking to watch the match, while others enjoyed drinks with friends. The whole street shared the same excitement. One of the most memorable moments was seeing dancers in colorful costumes performing in front of the giant screens while football fans watched the game. It was a unique mix of Vietnam's nightlife and the passion of the World Cup. The match itself was full of drama. Congo scored first, but England ...
