Major city · Vietnam
Quảng Ngãi
Spend 1 day in Quảng Ngãi for a quick look at My Khe Beach, the My Lai Memorial and the provincial museum; skip longer stays unless you plan a beach or island trip.
Quảng Ngãi is a small coastal city on Vietnam's Central Coast, about 130 km south of Da Nang. Most attractions lie outside the town, so a single day covers the main sights; longer stays are justified only for beach relaxation or island excursions.
