I hope Da Nang will stay as it is and not become worldly city. I was there two months ago and I was delighted that it offers everything you need without the rush of big cities. There are many restaurants and coffees of quality, a lot of entertainment or you can just relax by the beach or drive a motorbike on the seaside avenue (even all the way to Son Tra). When you would be tired of the city you can go to mountains around or to Hoi An to enjoy touristic atmosphere.

Interesting stuff I had always heard Da Nang was a cool spot I’m curious if you don’t process great computer skills, don’t know how to program or design web sites can you still get customer service jobs and work remotely ant thoughts.
Thanks

Nice crisp coverage of a city with so much to offer. We traveled, return trip, up from HCMC by train with the Da Nang station also very central.
The banks of the river reminded us of the Bund in Shanghai- much smaller of course but equally vibrant.

Great update. I really like the city and I’m planning on spending more time there. I too prefer the buzz and intensity of bigger cities likes HCMC but the pollution gets to me after a couple of weeks. I think with Da Nang’s geography it might fair better air wise than it’s two larger cousins up and down the coast. It’s obviously a lot smaller but that’s going to change obviously.

Whoa James! It looked SO different in 2012! Like a completely different place as the waterfront was almost all either empty resorts or resorts being built. Stunned to see the difference in 5 years. We also spent a few days there after Hoi An. Would love to return as we enjoyed it back then, and it has more to offer now I think.

Hi – excellent and concise overview of Da Nang – a bit more info on the nightlife would be extremely useful. I’ve passed through Da Nang on route from Ho Chi Min City/Hoi An to Hue/Hanoi and regret not shopping there. Really like the way you present location data – photographs with cryptic and concise comments. Cheers!
