Da Nang
Da Nang is the biggest city in Central Vietnam and the fourth largest city in Vietnam. The city is built by the Han River and Vietnam’s central coast. Nearby is Hoi An, a popular tourist town, and Hue, Vietnam’s former capital. It is connected to Hue by the Hai Van Pass, a well-known national highway and popular tourist spot.
Da Nang marks the halfway point between Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south. the main reason for most travellers staying here is its proximity to historical sights, and the well-known My Khe Beach, Lang Co Beach, Hoi An and My Son. Da Nang’s coastline stretches for 30 km and is renowned for its calm, cool waters. Lang Co Beach is lined with palm trees while the water of the nearby ocean is crystal-clear, lapping onto the white sands. It’s a peninsula with a sparkling lagoon on one side and the beach on the other. The area is fairly under-developed, although recent years have seen many new hotels opening. My Khe Beach is more developed since it was a popular spot for American soldiers seeking R&R during the Vietnam-US War. There are plenty of water sports here, including fishing, water-skiing, diving, and yachting. And now you have the perfect excuse for a visit, RUGBY!
