Previously occupied by both the French and the Americans, Da Nang
marks the halfway point between the capital in the north, Hanoi, and Ho
Chi Minh City in the south. It’s the fourth largest city in Vietnam.
Apart from some shopping highlights and historical sights, the main
reason for most travellers staying here is its proximity to the
well-known China Beach, Lang Co Beach, Hoi An and My Son.
Lang Co
Beach is lined with palm trees, the water of the nearby ocean
crystal-clear and enticing, lapping onto white sand. It is 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.
China Beach is more developed, since it was a
popular spot for American soldiers seeking R&R during the Vietnam-US
War. Water sport activities here are in abundance, and it can get very
crowded over weekends and holidays. Da Nang’s coastline stretches 30
kilometres, renowned for calm, cool waters and also popular for fishing,
water-skiing, diving, and yachting.
With an airport with daily
flights from across cities in Vietnam and a train station, Da Nang is
easily accessible. It is just over 760km from Hanoi, and almost 950km
from Ho Chi Minh City. There are many good hotels to choose from, no
matter the type of accommodation you’re looking for.
