About Dong Hoi

Dong Hoi is a coastal city in central Vietnam, the gateway to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and its giant caves.

Dong Hoi is the capital of Quang Binh province, on a narrow stretch of Vietnam's central coast where the Nhat Le River meets the sea. The gate of the old citadel, Quang Binh Quan, still stands, though much of the city was rebuilt after the bombing of the Vietnam War. It is a quiet seaside town with a long beach at Nhat Le and a riverside promenade.
