Travel To Da Nang
June 21, 2010
Da Nang has a coastline of 30 kilometres long, famous for many beautiful seashores stretching from the north to the south. It makes a perfect location for a beach break on your Vietnam holidays. They are calm seas with green water and nice temperatures throughout the whole year.
One of the most popular beaches in Da Nang is My Khe. It is one of the most popular beaches amongst both domestic and international tourism. With around 1 kilometre in length My Khe it is also one of the most crowded beaches in the area.
Sea water in My Khe is cool with little wave so you can bath all year’s round, especially in summer from May to August. The lack of large waves, less than average pollution, and an annual mean temperature around 25oC, makes it a safe place to swim for adults and children alike.
Around the hotel area, there are plenty of seafood restaurants and stalls, and large numbers of local vendors traverse the beach selling all kinds of foods and drinks. Coastal specialties like shrimps, crabs, fish, cuttles, etc. in hundreds of small shops are at reasonable price. They can be irritating sometimes – if they are too persistent, you should ignore the nuisance since that is the best strategy.
Danang is well connected to other cities by sea and air as well as road and rail. In the American War it served as an important South Vietnamese airbase. However, today the French influence is more evident when you see the tree decked avenues and colonial houses.
You can visit nearby interesting towns and cities such as Hue and Hoi An which are driving distance from Da Nang and you could also combine Hanoi with Da Nang in a twin centre sort of itinerary. Perhaps 2 to 3 nights in Hanoi followed by a week in Da Nang will make a perfect itinerary for you.
