Not far from the center of Quy Nhon city, Go Boi – the center of Phuoc Hoa commune – is an interesting destination for tourists to explore. An old Binh Dinh folk song describes it as: "Go Boi on the wharf, boats docked one after another along the canal ," a bustling market town that played an important role in the Nuoc Man port area hundreds of years ago. Today, Go Boi is still lively and bustling, yet retains the peaceful beauty of a rural village.

When visiting Go Boi, the first place to stop is Binh Lam Tower (dating from the 10th-11th centuries) and Binh Lam flower village in Binh Lam hamlet (Phuoc Hoa commune). Binh Lam Tower is one of the earliest Cham towers built in Binh Dinh. The tower is named Binh Lam (meaning "conquering the dense forest") because in the past, this area was a swampy region. When people came to clear the dense, wild forest land and turn it into agricultural land, they named it Binh Lam hamlet. And from the name Binh Lam of the hamlet, the tower was named.

Near Binh Lam Tower is Thien Truc Pagoda. Although small, the pagoda boasts a peaceful setting. Upon entering the gate, one immediately sees Champa stone sculptures related to Binh Lam Tower. Visiting the pagoda, one easily finds peace of mind as the tranquil countryside seems to permeate the temple grounds.
