Western newspapers praise Da Nang tourism

Observer reporters suggest that travelers looking for a place to visit in Vietnam to enjoy local street food, surf, and visit UNESCO-recognized historical sites should consider stopping in Da Nang.

Vietnam's top tourist city is considered "modern with blue sea, white sand and diverse and colorful public cultural programs, especially on weekend nights". Currently, the number of international tourists to Da Nang in 2023 even exceeds pre-pandemic levels.

Thanks to its central location, Da Nang is often the place with many direct flights from famous tourist destinations in Asia such as Taipei, Seoul or Tokyo to Da Nang. International tourists "can easily fly directly to the coastal city in Central Vietnam" instead of having to transfer in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi.

From Da Nang, tourists can also easily visit famous nearby tourist attractions such as My Son Sanctuary, Hoi An, and the ancient capital of Hue. These locations are all less than two hours away from Da Nang by car. Right in the coastal city, there are also a variety of accommodations, dining, attractions, and tourist activities to explore.

In addition, the Observer also suggests 3 high-end accommodations that tourists can visit when coming to the coastal city.

The first "must-see" destination when visiting Da Nang is My Khe Beach. The British Times commented that many hotels in the city have their own beaches, but visitors should visit My Khe Beach. This place is described as a bustling public white sand beach right in the city center. Here visitors can participate in activities such as jet skiing, windsurfing, and surfing. Visitors should ask the hotel to book beach entertainment services to ensure a reputable provider.

Another attraction introduced is Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula, about 10 km from the city center. The attraction here is the 67 m high Buddha statue. Observer reminded visitors to Son Tra Peninsula not to feed monkeys if they encounter them.

Marble Mountains is also an impressive tourist destination in Da Nang, suitable for tourists who like to hike and admire the mountain scenery. The weather is cool from September to November, with little sunlight, making it convenient to visit this place. Tourists coming here "should dress simply, respect the local culture", and can burn incense to pray for good luck.

Another famous tourist destination in Da Nang is called Ba Na Hills, located at an altitude of more than 1,500 m above sea level. From here, visitors can visit the Golden Bridge, a "favorite check-in point on social networks".

In addition, the Observer page also suggests that visitors visit APEC Park and the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, which preserves ancient Cham cultural artifacts.

In addition, when coming to Da Nang, visitors cannot miss the journey of culinary discovery. The British newspaper introduces both local and luxury eateries in the coastal city. Modern style restaurants can serve creatively transformed Vietnamese dishes.

A suggested place to enjoy Quang noodles is Phu Chiem - Anh noodle shop. A famous place to enjoy Banh Xeo in Da Nang is Ba Duong Banh Xeo shop.

"Visitors can watch locals make banh xeo on a pan. The pancakes can be filled with meat, shrimp, or a combination of both," the author of the article suggested.
