The sea in Quy Hoa |
Quy Hoa is very windy during this season. The wind picks and drops everywhere. And the waves break on the shore, telling stories of the old days.
It takes nearly 1 km to travel from the peak of Quy Nhon-Song Cau road to Quy Hoa leprosy village. The sloping road meanders along the mountain side, making tourists feel they are visiting an ancient site separated from the world.
Listen to the wind sing
When coming to Quy Hoa, tourists’ first impression may be the subtle nuances of green. Verdant forests are in harmony with the dark green of coconut trees growing along the beach.
The deep blue of the sea and the sky plays an important role in creating a picturesque site inviting tourists.
Quy Hoa looks like a valley surrounded by mountain ranges, facing the sea. There are islands of different fields from afar.
Coming to Quy Hoa this season is also to hear the wind sing. Lines of trees flutter in the light breezes in front of the sea. Sometimes, gusts of wind with slightly salty taste from the sea blow through the village.
Years ago, the poet Han Mac Tu chose Quy Hoa as his home where he composed masterpieces and suffered from leprosy.
The architecture of houses in Quy Hoa village is the combination of different architectural features in Vietnam, France, Germany, and other countries.
And see strange fishermen
There are now 320 houses with special architecture in Quy Hoa, including the commemorative house where Han Mac Tu drew his last breath. These ancient houses were built in the combination with French architecture.
There’s a special correlation between the houses and Quy Hoa village as well as Quy Nhon city as a whole for there exists a harmonious blend of traditional and modern features between them.
Coming to Quy Hoa is to see the life style of those who are living here. They have tried their utmost to overcome the fate to live and work.
They still work and have everyday life as the others but with much effort. They have to go fishing, farming, and breeding, but the life is not easy for leprosy patients.
The sea is peaceful but also rough; however, they still go fishing offshore. That’s a miracle.
Coming to Quy Hoa, tourists could see houses filled with the sound of children’s laughter, peaceful glints in the elderly people’s eyes, and the leprosy patients’ love for life.
