Tuy Hòa, Vietnam

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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
