During my train travel from Da Nang back to Ho Chi Minh, I happen to stop by at Quang Ngai for a short time. The city is small and like a village but is very close to the Railway Station. I managed to take a ride around the place for an hour on taxi. Surrounding areas are mainly agricultural farms but is also close to the beach. I do not see any big buildings or malls or any foreign franchises in the vicinity.
