Quy Nhon, a coastal city in the south-central Vietnamese province of Binh Dinh, has emerged as a new hotspot for vacationers thanks to its countless stunning tourist attractions. Quy Nhon has two seasons – rainy and dry – and each offers visitors a unique perspective on the city. The rainy season in Quy Nhon typically begins in September and lasts until February, while the dry season begins in March and ends in September.

This is not the first time THACO has increased the prices of its products since the pandemic was put under control.
