Quy Nhơn grew up beside Vijaya, the Cham capital from the 11th century, and the Tháp Đôi twin towers, built around the turn of the 13th century, stand in town about 2 km from the centre. The surrounding province was the birthplace of the 18th-century Tây Sơn rebellion, and Zheng He's fleet made Quy Nhơn its first port of call after leaving China. The ward has about 129,000 residents and a 42 km coastline, with Phù Cát Airport about 30 km northwest and flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. At Eo Gió stands a 30 m golden Avalokiteśvara statue whose base is designed to hold the ashes of 8,000 local families.
