About
Da Nang is Vietnam’s third-largest city and a well-balanced blend of modern urban life, natural beauty, and relaxed coastal charm. While it may not feature French colonial architecture like Hanoi or the vibrant nightlife of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang stands out for its clean streets, organized urban planning, and long stretches of beautiful beaches.
Located between Hue (around 3 hours to the north) and Hoi An (just 30 minutes to the south), Da Nang serves as an ideal stopover for travelers seeking a calmer base while still remaining close to Vietnam’s most iconic heritage destinations. With beachfront resorts on one side and the Han River flowing through the city, Da Nang has recently emerged as a luxury beach and MICE destination in Central Vietnam.
