Getting Around Qui Nhon
Use Grab instead of street taxis for short hops — you pay the app price and avoid haggling. The hotel is on a quiet lane, so set the pin exactly at 36 Y Linh Street.
Use Mai Linh or Vinasun taxis from the official booth outside arrivals. Avoid drivers who quote prices in dollars — they’ll charge double.
The bus drops you at the main station, then it's a 10-minute walk east to Ý Linh. No fixed timetable — just wait outside the airport terminal.
Buy a ticket from the conductor — he’ll give you change. Get off at the stop just after the big Lotte Mart sign, then walk north for two blocks.
