"We departed from Ho Chi Minh City to Mui Ne (Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan) then to Quy Nhon and then to Hoi An. I heard that Quy Nhon is a beautiful place, famous for its clear blue beaches and delicious food, so we decided to spend 4 days visiting and exploring the attractive tourist destinations in Quy Nhon," said Melanie Kammer.

Mr. Ngo Duc Kim (80 years old, Vietnamese Australian) said that he returned to Vietnam to celebrate Tet for 3 weeks but spent 1 week traveling to Quy Nhon because an acquaintance introduced Quy Nhon as a very beautiful city.

"I decided to come here and explore this city during the Lunar New Year 2025. I was very happy and touched to be welcomed so warmly when I first came here," Mr. Kim said excitedly.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Chung, Deputy Director of Binh Dinh Department of Tourism, said that welcoming tourists on the first train to Quy Nhon station in 2025 is one of the activities to attract tourists to Binh Dinh by train, thereby gradually exploiting and developing train tourism products to Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh. At the same time, it demonstrates the friendliness and hospitality of Binh Dinh people, contributing to building the image of Binh Dinh tourism as "safe, friendly, attractive", attracting more and more domestic and international tourists to Binh Dinh.

The leader of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee said that Binh Dinh has a convenient transportation advantage when located in the center of the North-South axis on all three routes: road, railway and air.
