The capital of Ninh Thuan Province in south-central Vietnam. Located at the depths of Phan Rang Bay, it is an excellent port that avoids the northeast monsoon. It has a population of 89,500 (estimated in 2003). National Highway 1 runs through the city, and the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh Railway passes through Tuol Cham Station, 5.5 km west of the city. It was once the capital of the Champa Kingdom, and there are ruins of the Cham people nearby, including the Cham Towers built in the 8th century. As well as being a distribution center for agricultural products, salt production is thriving on the coast.
