Quy Nhon (English spelling)

Japanese: クイニョン（英語表記）Qui Nhon

The capital of Binh Dinh Province in central Vietnam. It is a port city on the South China Sea coast, about 400 km northeast of Ho Chi Minh City, located on the west bank of the mouth of Quy Nhon Bay, a long and narrow bay that runs from south to north. It opened its port to France in 1874. Large ships were anchored offshore because the bay is shallow, but during the Vietnam War, the United States significantly improved its port functions to use it for military operations. Fishing and salt production are carried out here, and it is also known as a seaside resort. There is a railway line connecting the capital Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and a branch line branching off from the main road, and it is the starting point of roads to the highlands in the west. Population 169,100 (1989).

ベトナム中部，ビンディン省の省都。ホーチミン市の北東約 400km，南シナ海沿岸の港湾都市で，南から北に向って細長く湾入するクイニョン湾の湾口部西岸に位置する。 1874年フランスに対して開港。湾の水深が浅いため大型船舶は沖合いに停泊していたが，ベトナム戦争中，アメリカ合衆国が軍事作戦に利用するため，港湾機能を大幅に改善した。漁業，製塩などが行われ，海浜保養地としても知られる。首都ハノイとホーチミン市を結ぶ鉄道，幹線道路から分岐する支線が通じ，西の高原地帯への道路の起点となっている。人口 16万 91 (1989) 。
