It's tough to separate the old from the new, but Quẚng Ngãi is an ancient town that still possesses many of the historical sights of great significant.

This beach has yet to experience the rapid developments that plagued other resort areas in Vietnam.
Mỹ Lai Massacre Memorial Museum A memorial to 504 victims killed in 1969 by US forces in the My Lai incident. The site is a solemn place and also the main reason foreign visitors choose to stop by this province.

The Long Wall of Quẚng Ngãi A version of the Hadrian's Wall. Discovered in 2005 and the Long Wall of Quẚng Ngãi is a majestic architectural construction that still remains in its original state.

Thien But Mountain Travelers to Quẚng Ngãi often inquired about Thien But Mountain along with its higher cousin Thien An Mountain. However, Thien But Mountain is more renowned in poetry rather than in reality. A small hill that rises 60m high above the coastal plains. On a clouds covered day, Thien But Mountain looks like a calligraphy brush with its tip dipped into the clouds hence the name Thien But (Heaven's Brush). If visiting on a cloudy day, one can take a look to see whether Thien But Mountain is as poetically described. If so and then it is truly a spectacular treat.
