Province de Phú Yên
Phú Yên is a coastal province on Vietnam's south-central coast, between Quy Nhơn and Nha Trang. It is known for quiet beaches, rocky headlands and rice fields, and it is much less crowded than its neighbours. The provincial capital is Tuy Hòa. The film "Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass" was shot here, and brought many domestic visitors.
Most visitors spend two or three days, driving the coast road between Tuy Hòa and the headlands.

Phú Yên was part of the Champa kingdom, and Cham towers such as Nhạn Tower still stand. Vietnamese settlers moved into the region from the late 16th century. The province became a rice and sugar area and later a French-era port.
The coast has changed little compared with Nha Trang. The Gành Đá Đĩa cliff was recognised as a national landscape site in 1998.
