Da Nang City
Danang, the fourth-largest city in Vietnam, is one of the most important seaports in the central region, and the current booming Vietnamese economy has seen an economic growth (GDP) rate in busy Danang as high as 14%. As the most convenient deep-water port in the region, Danang is now greeting more and more international cruise ships along with the glut of trade vessels.
Da Nang cultural history dates back only 300 years, so the area is historically new when compared to the 4,000 year existence of Vietnamese culture. It is home to Cham Museum the ancient pagodas of Hai Chau Pho Da Long Tho.
Da Nang Beach, and also nearby My Khe Beach, are worth a stop. This beach has a light-sand coast with excellent views of the nearby Marble Mountains, and it's beginning to draw more and more international tourists, as well as weekend visits by Danang's growing expat community. |
