Da Nang (vietnamita: Đà Nẵng) es conocida como la ciudad más grande del centro de Vietnam y uno de los puertos más importantes del país. Con una superficie de 1.255,53 km² y una población de alrededor de 700.000, se considera la cuarta ciudad más grande del condado junto a la ciudad de Ho Chi Minh. Hanoi. Y Hai Phong. Durante la colonización francesa, Đà Nẵng también se llamó Tourane. Sin embargo, tal nombre ya no se utiliza popularmente cuando se refiere a la ciudad.
A pesar del encanto de la ciudad y sus muchas atracciones, los turistas no estaban tan motivados en visitar Da Nang en comparación con otras ciudades como Hue y Hoi An. Como la principal inspiración económica de Central VN, la ciudad fue creativamente construida combinando la energía de la ciudad colorida con la belleza de sus playas relajantes y románticas. En la cima de eso, hay numerosos restaurantes en todas partes llenas de deliciosos, interesantes y razonablemente a precios razonables comidas y golosinas para los turistas para disfrutar. Durante un cierto período, las inversiones han traído enormes mejoras a la infraestructura de la ciudad, sistemas de transporte, puentes y carreteras, mientras que los complejos se pusieron a lo largo de sus hermosas playas. Su aeropuerto, que es uno de los puertos más ocupados durante la guerra americana, es ahora el 3er aeropuerto más grande del país que da la bienvenida a un gran número de turistas anualmente como punto de partida de sus viajes de VN centrales.
Al borde de la ciudad se encuentran extensas montañas de montañas en el oeste y el gran Mar del Este en el este, creando hermosos paisajes que contribuyen a los muchos paisajes e intereses históricos centrados en la mayoría de las actividades turísticas de los tours. Siendo el motor económico de Central VN, Da Nang no sólo es bien conocido por su industria desarrollada, sino también por sus hermosas playas, una de las cuales, es la Playa de China (My Khe) popularizada por su arena blanca. Una de las atracciones más famosas de Da Nang es el Museo Cham (Museo de Esculturas Cham), que exhibe más de 300 estatuas, relieves y esculturas que se encuentran en My Son, la antigua capital de Cham Kingdom. Esta exposición demuestra la influencia de la cultura india, y es designada por la UNESCO como Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
A unos 10 km al sureste de Danang, los turistas pueden visitar la montaña de mármol con sus rocosos afloramientos de piedra caliza sobresaliendo de las orillas del mar, y con senderos que conducen a la cima de uno de los muchos acantilados boscosos. Desde lo alto, se podían observar unas vistas espectaculares de la playa de Non Nuoc y del Mar de China Meridional. Aparte de eso, más destinos turísticos están situados cerca de Da Nang que los turistas no deben excluir de sus giras. La Playa Son Tra, Playa Lang Co y Suoi Voi son sólo algunos de los muchos (ver los artículos correspondientes e informes en vietnam. com).

Da Nang (Đà Nẵng) es la tercera ciudad más grande de Vietnam, y se encuentra en la costa del Mar Oriental, a medio camino entre Hanoi y la ciudad de Ho Chi Minh y la ciudad más grande de Vietnam Central.
La ciudad en sí no tiene ni el ambiente de Hanoi ni el ajetreo de la ciudad de Ho Chi Minh, pero tiene su cuota de lugares de interés y está cerca de los encantos de Hoi An y la capital imperial de Hue. Por lo que es un lugar de vacaciones popular para aquellos que buscan explorar las atracciones del centro de Vietnam o absorber algunos rayos mientras pasan el rato en las playas de la ciudad.
Entender Editar
Las regiones que rodean a Da Nang fueron fundadas por los Cham practicando hindúes posiblemente 3000 años atrás, sirviendo como la capital y el centro de la dinastía hindú Champa. La invasión vietnamita a la región en el siglo 17 paró significativamente el desarrollo de Cham y durante la guerra de Vietnam, grandes monumentos y edificios fueron bombardeados. Dado Danang fue el primer punto de invasión colonial, muchos vestigios de la arquitectura francesa están presentes en los edificios históricos. La ciudad ha crecido rápidamente en los últimos años, y alcanzó una población de más de 1.000.000 de personas en 2014. Hasta hace poco, este crecimiento era mayormente hacia el exterior y el relleno, pero ahora hay subidas altas. Hay muchos restos de la "guerra americana" sobrante en Da Nang. Cada puente tiene un constructor diferente, ya sea francés, americano o vietnamita. En el camino hacia el popular lugar turístico; El mar de Vietnam del Sur, las ruinas de una base militar permanecen en forma de hangares de helicópteros, aunque éstos ahora son más fácilmente manchados en el aeropuerto, que sirve vuelos civiles y militares.
La ciudad es a menudo pasado por alto por los turistas, pero es uno de los más amables en todo Vietnam. Mi playa de Khe, también conocida como Playa de China para American G. I., es ahora el hogar de una pequeña comunidad de propietarios de casas de huéspedes, tiendas de estatuas de mármol y otros oficios diversos. Algunas de las playas más hermosas y aisladas de Vietnam se encuentran aquí, entre algunas de las personas más amigables.
Hasta hace relativamente poco, Da Nang era algo hostil a los extranjeros, una consecuencia de las actitudes de los que entonces controlaban el gobierno provincial. Sin embargo, a principios de los años 90, esto cambió y, desde finales de los 90, el gobierno provincial (de hecho, la ciudad autónoma) ha seguido con entusiasmo la inversión extranjera y el desarrollo de la infraestructura. Da Nang tiene algunos de los mejores caminos en el país - el camino de la costa es por lo menos cuatro carriles de la frontera provincial del norte a la frontera provincial meridional. En comparación con Hanoi o HCMC, el tráfico en Da Nang es siempre relativamente ligero, aunque los camiones enormes estropean a lo largo de cada ahora y otra vez y hay breves horas de la acometida. El desarrollo es visible y rápido; La ciudad se ha expandido enormemente en los últimos diez años, y varios edificios de varios pisos, así como más complejos de playa están en construcción, y ahora hay al menos tres grandes supermercados, así como un mayorista de Metro. Esto también implica la reurbanización de áreas cerca de las playas de la ciudad a través del río, con los bloques enteros de la vieja cubierta que es arrasada y de las nuevas carreteras instaladas y de los hoteles y de las villas lujosas construidas (Sep 2013).
El inconveniente de la muy relajado, menos grave y frenético, aspecto de Da Nang es que incluso los lugareños frecuentemente se quejan de que no hay nada que hacer excepto beber, que hacen mucho. Esto no es verdad - hay un zoológico, un estadio de fútbol, muchas canchas de tenis y salas de billar, varias grandes discotecas modernas / discotecas, bares, etc y por supuesto las playas y la península de Son Tra. Sin embargo, también es cierto que el consumo de café y cerveza son las actividades de ocio más comunes de la mayoría de los residentes locales.
Los meses más calientes del año son junio, julio y agosto, cuando la temperatura puede llegar a tan alto como 40 grados centígrados, y generalmente es muy seco. Generalmente hay tormentas tropicales en octubre y noviembre.
Da Nang también está idealmente situado entre Hoi An para un viaje de un día y Hue para el día o viaje corto. Pase por la atmósfera y disfrutar de las playas de arena dorada en la parte occidental de Da Nang (Península de Son Tra) antes de convertirse en un destino turístico muy concurrido. Por desgracia, sólo el Furama y Pullman cinco estrellas complejos están en la playa. Todos los otros hoteles cerca de la playa están justo al otro lado de una calle relativamente concurrida en la península de Son Tra, a menos que vayas un poco fuera de Da Nang. Tumbonas y tumbonas se pueden alquilar en la playa de VND 20 - 30.000 por dos horas. Ellos tratarán de cobrar a los turistas el doble de esa cantidad pero si eso fuera a suceder, muéstrales la lista de precios que aparece en la playa. No se olvide de tomar su toalla, etc. Un puñado de duchas existe cerca de donde están las hamacas.

En avión Editar sección
Da Nang International Airport (IATA. DAD) es el más pequeño de los tres aeropuertos internacionales de Vietnam. Hay vuelos frecuentes a Hanoi y Ho Chi Minh City tanto en Vietnam como en Jetstar Pacific, así como servicio doméstico entre Buon Ma Thuot. Da Lat. Hai Phong. Nha Trang y Pleiku y Guangzhou internacionalmente. Seúl-Incheon. Kuala Lumpur. Shanghai-Pudong. Siem Reap. Singapur. Taipei y Tokio-Narita. Aparte de un cambiador de dinero, las comodidades del aeropuerto son bastante mínimas, aunque algunas mejoras se hizo al aeropuerto a finales de 2007 y principios de 2008 haciendo del aeropuerto uno de los más modernos del país. A partir de noviembre de 2006, los impuestos internacionales de salida deben ser incluidos en el precio de su billete. En comparación con los grandes aeropuertos vietnamitas, Da Nang es un poco relajado; Los viajeros locales a menudo llegan menos de 30 minutos antes de sus vuelos; También hay un par de restaurantes / cafeterías frente a la terminal, que ofrecen más opciones, si no precios más bajos, que dentro de la zona de salida.
El aeropuerto está situado dentro de la ciudad, a sólo 3 km al suroeste del centro de Danang, un viaje de 10 minutos a lo sumo. Muchos viajeros ahora optan por permanecer en Da Nang, ya que se considera como una puerta de entrada a Vietnam Central Sitios de Herencias: Hoi An (25-30 min, US $ 20) o Hue (2 horas, US $ 40-45 dependiendo del tamaño del coche, como De feb 2012), Mi Hijo (1-1.5 horas). Los hoteles y resorts en Da Nang tienen sus propios escritorios de viajes que ofrecen un medio día o un viaje de un día a esos destinos. El sistema de cupón de taxi de precio fijo ha desaparecido lamentablemente y ahora (a pesar de las señales en todas partes que indican lo contrario) tienes que regatear con los conductores afuera, que piden precios tontos pero se pueden negociar hasta las cantidades anteriores; Encontrar algunos otros viajeros para aliviar el dolor. Si va a un destino dentro o cerca de la ciudad, ignore ofertas para establecer un precio por adelantado e insistir en el uso del medidor (los conductores sólo pueden estar dispuestos a aceptar tarifas preestablecidas durante las fiestas, como Tet). Si llega en un vuelo nocturno, puede encontrarse con un taxista sin escrúpulos que tiene un metro rápido, pero por lo general hay muchos taxis y compañías como Mai Linh, Taxi Xanh o Song Han son confiables; Evitar el taxi del aeropuerto, especialmente por la noche. Las tarifas medias para el centro de la ciudad deberían ser de unos 70.000 dong. Pasando por el metro, la tarifa es de sólo 40.000 dong, pero ningún taxista tomaría su tarifa, especialmente cuando tienes equipaje. Mientras que 50.000 dong parece ser razonable esperar algunos trucos, como la falta de voluntad para aceptar USD, o que tiene un poco más de límite razonable de equipaje o simplemente hay 3 de ustedes. Más probable que no, usted tiene que bifurcar alrededor de US $ 5 o el precio de venta de 300.000 dong puede ser regateado hasta 150.000 dong o el mínimo de 100.000 dong. Excepto ya menos que esté dispuesto a caminar un par de cientos de yardas para un taxi de crucero fuera de la zona del aeropuerto para ahorrar un par de dólares, podría también pagar los dólares extra y estar en su camino. Su recepcionista de hotel sinceramente y sinceramente obtener el conductor de taxi para aceptar 50.000 dong para el viaje de regreso al aeropuerto, sin embargo, usted puede apostar su último dólar que el taxista tiene una manera de separar unos pocos dólares más de su posesión mundana como Usted baja de su taxi. Tome el ejercicio completo en buen paso. Por lo que vale, es sólo unos pocos dólares más. Honestamente, simplemente no vale la pena echar a perder la buena sensación que tienes sobre Danang, Hoi An y Hue. No por unos cuantos dólares.
Llegué en avión en Da Nang el 12 de abril de 2013, y ahora hay un controlador fuera del aeropuerto que dirige a los pasajeros a taxis. No es necesario regatear.
En tren
El Expreso de la Reunificación hace una parada en Da Nang. Muchas motos y taxis están disponibles fuera de la estación si llegas en horario de luz. De lo contrario, puede estar a merced de los taxis que quedan fuera en la noche. Los horarios de llegada y salida programados son seguidos poco. Si sólo quieres llegar a Hue, además de tomar el tren sin escalas a Hanoi (alrededor de dos horas), también puedes tomar el "local" tren que es lento (unos cuatro a cuatro horas y media de Da Nang A Hue, con varias paradas en el camino, un coche o taxi lo hace en dos), pero increíblemente barato (25.000 dong incluyendo una comida) y pasa a través de algunos paisajes costeros espectaculares.

Desde el puerto de Tien Sa o Chan May: también se puede alquilar un coche para recoger en el puerto (aviso de que el coche a menudo te esperan en frente de la puerta, si desea recoger en el crucero, debe pagar más Debido a la tarifa de la puerta - alrededor de 25 $).
En autobús Editar
Da Nang. El popular servicio de autobuses, hace una parada en Hoi An, a una corta distancia (unos 30 km) de la ciudad. Es de una distancia donde un taxi es mejor que una moto.
Desde Hoi An, puede tomar el autobús local a Da Nang. Es un autobús amarillo que tiene Hoi An - Da Nang a lo largo de la ventana delantera. Nos fuimos de la estación en Nguyen Tat Thanh (a unos 10 minutos a pie al oeste de Hai Ba Trung). El precio más alto que aparece en la ventana del autobús es 18,000d, sin embargo el coleccionista de billetes insistió en que pagamos 30,000d cada uno y señaló a nuestras maletas. Puedes leer la entrada en el wikitravel de Hoi An para más información sobre esto. Los autobuses salen de la estación cada 15-30min durante el día y tardan unos 45 minutos para llegar desde Hoi An a Da Nang.
Por lo menos dos otros servicios del paso del autobús hacen paradas en Da Nang, y se pueden tomar a Hue oa Hoi An o más adelante en cualquier dirección. Fare to Hue es de US $ 3 a finales de 2007, el viaje dura aproximadamente tres horas con una parada de refresco en el camino. El autobús utiliza el túnel así que no pasa por el espectacular paso entre Da Nang y Hue.
Da Nang estación de autobuses sirve transporte a varias ciudades, incluyendo algunos lugares en Laos (autobús diario a Savannakhet, Tha Khek y Vian Tieng en la mañana). Está a pocos kilómetros de la ciudad, pero es servido por los autobuses locales, como el # 2 que va al centro de la ciudad y # 1 a Hoi An. Los autobuses frecuentes van entre Da Nang y Hue (alrededor de 50.000 VND).
Los autobuses salen de la estación de Hanoi Giap Bat por la tarde, cobran 380.000d a partir de octubre de 2012 y toman alrededor de 14 a 16 horas.

Puede reservar entradas en la estación de autobuses de Da Nang Intercity, agencias de viajes, y posiblemente su hotel. Comprar entradas en la estación es la opción complicada (tarifa de taxi desde el centro de la ciudad a la estación de casi 100.000 vnd (1 camino) y tienes que venir a comprar un boleto con antelación para asegurarse de que todavía tienen billetes disponibles), por lo que pagar una prima En su hotel o vaya directamente a la oficina de reservas de Sleeper Bus puede ahorrar mucho tiempo, dinero y preocupación.

Consiga alrededor Editar
A pie Editar sección
Moverse a pie es altamente desaconsejable, si no imposible, ya que Da Nang se extiende por muchos kilómetros en todas las direcciones y está más espaciada que otras ciudades como Hanoi. A diferencia de una ciudad como Hanoi, los destinos turísticos no se concentran en un solo distrito. En su lugar, muchos de los destinos de la nota para los extranjeros están lejos el uno del otro y requieren transporte motorizado. En el lado positivo, las carreteras generosamente espaciosas, los puentes y las pasarelas de Da Nang pueden ser un cambio agradable para aquellos que quieren un cambio de la vida urbana llena de gente.
Por moto Editar
Alquilar una moto cuesta alrededor de 80.000-150.000VND por día para la mayoría de las empresas hoteleras y de alquiler en Da Nang. Los lugareños pagan alrededor de 50.000-100.000, con un poco de negociación y alquiler por un número de días que podría reducir el precio. Esta sería la forma más conveniente de viajar si desea mantener los costos bajos y tienen una gran flexibilidad en el lugar de su viaje, lo que puede ser una gran ventaja en una ciudad tan grande como Da Nang. Tenga en cuenta todos los riesgos legales y físicos asociados al alquiler de una moto. En resumen, no es realmente legal a menos que tenga una licencia de Vietnam, pero este es un punto comúnmente ignorado por los turistas y las agencias de alquiler de motos. Depende de usted si usted está cómodo con esto, pero para ser pragmático, este punto sólo se vuelve más importante si usted hace algo ilegal suficiente para tener que participar con la policía (como entrar en un accidente). El nivel requerido de moto es moderado; El tráfico en Da Nang no es tan complejo para navegar como ciudades más concentradas como Hanoi como carreteras son increíblemente amplias y la concentración de vehículos es mucho menos. Sin embargo, Da Nang tampoco es un lugar para aprender a montar una moto ya sea como tráfico sigue el espíritu del resto de Vietnam, donde el flujo de tráfico se rige por la conciencia periférica en lugar de señales de tráfico de la calle.
En taxi Editar
La tarifa comienza en 10.000 dong (ene 2012). En cualquier lugar dentro de los límites de la ciudad, la tarifa hacia y desde la estación de ferrocarril parece ser de $ 10 (Sep 2013). Lonely Planet dice 50.000 dong ($ 2.50) que parece más probable para un viaje de 3 km. Buena suerte con persuadir a un conductor a usar el medidor cuando coge uno de la estación. Usted puede ser afortunado si usted era a granizo uno que está pasando-por fuera de la estación (la confirmación requerida) - de hecho, ésta es la única manera de conseguir un paseo del taxi del metro en muchos "puntos calientes". Los chicos colgando fuera no usar el metro, ni siquiera te molestes en pedir!
Transporte hasta Hoi An Editar
El autobús # 4 (destino Tam Ky) sale en la misma localización (Le Duan # 287) y va a Hoi An también pero para en un más central en Hoi An. Los taxistas pueden aparcar frente a la parada de autobús y decirle que el autobús no está funcionando, tratando de conseguir su negocio.
Alquilar una moto para viajar a Hoi An. La distancia es de aproximadamente 28 km y tarda unos 45-60 minutos. La ruta es bastante simple y directa y te lleva a lo largo de la costa de Da Nang lo que le permite una experiencia extraordinaria y vistas a lo largo de las playas de Hoi An. El tráfico es ligero y asegúrese de llevar un cortavientos o suéter como durante el período de otoño y primavera la temperatura a lo largo de la costa puede ser un poco de frío.
Museo Cham (Bảo Tàng Chăm), Trung Nu Vuong y Bach Dang Sts. Fundada en 1915 por la École Française d'Extrême Orient, alberga una colección de esculturas de piedra de la civilización hindú que practicaba Cham, que ocupó gran parte del centro de Vietnam en el primer milenio aC hasta el siglo XIV. La entrada es 30,000VND, y el museo se puede recorrer en aproximadamente una hora. Las esculturas están casi todas hechas de piedra arenisca, y algunas han resistido mal a lo largo de los siglos, pero aún se puede apreciar la deliciosa calidad artística de las figuras, que incluyen Shiva, garudas, nagas, leones, monos y elefantes. La colección también incluye ejemplos llamativos de los iconos hindúes antiguos de la fertilidad - altares del lingam adornados alrededor de los lados con filas de pechos. Las esculturas fueron en su mayoría retiradas de las fachadas o interiores de ruinas Cham (que habría sido saqueado de lo contrario). Las ruinas en sí, como cerca de Mi Hijo, ahora tienden a ser pilas de ladrillos desmoronando y algo decepcionante, dando poca idea de la espectacular Obra de arte producida por la civilización Cham. Cualquier visita a mi hijo debe ser emparejado con el Museo Cham. La colección también es interesante para comparar con la escultura balinesa y la fase temprana, hindú de Angkor Wat en Camboya.
Montañas de Mármol (Ngu Hanh Son, admisión de 15.000 dong, tel. 511.961114)] son 9 km al sur del centro de la ciudad y al otro lado de la calle de muchos de los balnearios más grandes de la playa. En otras palabras, a pesar de ser montañas, están dentro de los límites de la ciudad y muy accesible (15-30 minutos de su hotel dependiendo de su ubicación). El grupo incluye a Kim Son (Montaña de Metal), Moc Son (Montaña de Madera), Thuy Son (Montaña de Agua), Hoa Son (Montaña de Fuego) y Tho Son (Montaña de Tierra). Varios templos budistas se han construido en las cuevas y las grutas, y es un sitio de peregrinación popular. La verdadera diversión, sin embargo, es en la cueva de Am Phu, donde se puede hacer la empinada subida hacia la luz y una vista desde la cima de la montaña, rodeada de aprobar imágenes sagradas. O la cabeza en la dirección opuesta, físicamente y espiritualmente, hasta el bruto Hieronymous Bosch-esque estatuas de los pecadores obtener su debido en las cavernas de abajo, con una iluminación adecuada eerie. De cualquier manera, trae zapatos para caminar o trepar. Tenga en cuenta que la exploración de las cinco montañas podría ser ambiciosa para un solo día de gira y probablemente requeriría bastantes horas. Para aquellos que prefieren visitar uno debido a limitaciones de tiempo o energía, vaya a Thuy Son, que es el más grande de todas las montañas con las características más para explorar (incluyendo la antes mencionada cueva de Am Phu). Los autobuses de excursión abierta se detendrán aquí, pero usted será apresurado; Cualquier conductor de moto en Da Nang o Hoi An estará encantado de tomar y le permiten establecer el calendario. Las guías están disponibles. Cuidado con los vendedores de estatuas rapaces afuera, sin embargo.
Ba Na Hill Station A 45 minutos en coche de Danang oa unos 40 km al oeste de Danang, Ba Na se encuentra a 1.487 metros sobre el nivel del mar en la cordillera de Truong Son. Ba Na fue anteriormente un complejo francés de 1920 y una vez se jactó de 200 villas, restaurantes y clubes. Es bien conocido como el segundo Da Lat o Sa Pa en el centro de Vietnam. Su clima templado, bosque virgen, y vistas espectaculares sobre el mar de China meridional y la cordillera del Lao hicieron Ba Na un retratamiento popular para los franceses y los vietnamitas ricos. Hoy en día la zona sigue atrayendo a los lugareños y turistas por igual gracias a un nuevo sistema de cable que se inauguró oficialmente el 25 de marzo de 2009 y estableció dos Guinness World Records por su altura y longitud. Usted necesita conseguir un taxi a la estación Suoi Mo (25 $ de ida de Danang) y luego pagar 300.000 VND por adulto (250.000 VND para niños entre 1m y 1,3m de altura, entrada gratuita para niños menores de 1m de altura) para el boleto a El teleférico y el parque de la fantasía que todavía está en construcción. Gran vista desde la cima, pero es realmente inútil para pasar la noche ya que los alojamientos son en mal estado y terriblemente caro (80-150 $ por noche).

Mirando hacia fuera en ambos lados del puente es muy colorido y escénico en la noche. editar
Aprender Editar
Es difícil aprender el vietnamita en Da Nang ya que la comunidad ex-pat es bastante pequeña y la demanda por el aprendizaje de idiomas no es grande. Usted será capaz de encontrar muchas personas que están dispuestos a hacer intercambio de idiomas con usted y hay un número de profesores vietnamitas calificados.

If you buy the staff a drink here [a normal thing to do in this kind of disco-night club] they can be very aggressive about drinking it fast and running up a big bill for you.
And finally for a real late night place hit " Red Hot " Bar on Nguyen Van Linh Street.
'Late night' is more flexible in Da Nang than in Ha Noi; most of the time the discos and places like Red Hot [an approximation of a Thai girlie-bar] close at 1 a. m. or 1.30, but if the police decide to say the national rules should not be flouted quite so blatantly, they may unexpectedly close at midnight or 00.30.

Stay safe Edit
It is a comparatively safe city but be sure to lock up your belongings at night (as everyone does) which includes not leaving your bike out on the street. Everyone generally brings them into their houses. Beware of the Taxi scam. When going to Bana Hills or Hue, some taxi driver will stop and agree at a very low price for a return journey and once you reach you destination, he will triple or quadruple the price knowing you don't have an option to return. When you do return to your hotel (he will park the car slightly away from the main entrance of your hotel), he might lock the central locking and demand the price first before letting you go. To avoid this, use only MAI LINH Taxis and agree a price with them. They are generally honest. A better way is to take your driver to the Hotel reception to confirm the price again and leave the Taxi details (like the number on the plate) with the Hotel reception. Also be extremely wary of my khe beach hotels and apartments. There are some extremely dodgy hosts in the area. DO NOT book any apartment or hotel before asking around and finding out about the owner's reputation. There is a lot of talk around town of severe scamming. Watch out for a business called Mahalo.
Da Nang is more friendly than other Vietnamese cities on the city side. But be extremely careful about establishments on the beach side. There is a lot of corruption. Personally speak to sources, so you do not get shafted.
However, most locals are quite friendly and almost always willing to help (even when they do not speak English). They are also generally more easygoing and less motivated by scamming foreigners than you will experience in other cities such as Hanoi or HCM, and this can be a welcome surprise and gives Da Nang more of its own charm as well.

The most important trading point of Da Nang City. Han market is popular among local and tourist alike. Located at the grand intersection of Tran Phu Street, Bach Dang Street, Hung Vuong Street and Tran Hung Dao Street, this famous market holds a very important position in the history of the city.
Trading activities
Even though in the old days, Han Market was only a modest trading venue for small businessmen, the convenient and ideal location have enabled it to develop into a big trading center near Han River, from which people gave it the name Han Market. The market was officially opened in the 1940s. The French constructed there a big train system called Tourane Marché to transport goods to the main station. As the business grew unceasingly, some Chinese and Vietnamese businessmen decided to build a commercial center around the market with grocery stores, jewelry stores, pharmacy stores, etc. In 1989, the market was fully renovated. Nowadays, as the renovation gives the market a spacious and refreshing atmosphere, the arrangement of stores inside the market also gives the customers a relaxing feeling when shopping there.
Han market in the 1950s
Interestingly, local inhabitants used to regard the market as “rich market” because it was extremely popular among the more well-off classes of the society. Today that term is absolutely out of place, as everyone enjoys shopping there. A plenty of goods ranging from fresh foods (vegetables, fruits, fishes and meats) to clothes is traded all day long. However, the most special thing to look for at the market is probably fish sauce: the familiar yet unique food of the Central Regions.
In addition to the variety of choices, Han Market also attracts a lot of people by its relatively low prices because it functions as the center where goods are gathered before being distributed to smaller markets in the province.
Visiting Han market
Han market is ideal for those looking for some Danang's souvenirs before heading home. If you are flying overseas after, you may take limitted dried food with you but if you have more time to spare in Vietnam, stock up on fresh fruits and local snacks. Some specialties that can be found in Han market include: Ly Son garlic, Chili paste, dried rice crackers, dried squids. At the front of the market are fruit stalls, abundant with tropical option from bananas to jackfruits.
Ly Son Garlic - A specialty that can be found at Han market
One can easily reach Han market by taxi or motor taxi. If you stay at one of the beach resort on Danang coast, a trip to Han market would cost $5/one way by taxi.

Find The Top Retirement Cities In Vietnam
And why would you go halfway around the world to retire? In two words, it’s cheap. It costs much much less to live in Vietnam than in the U. S. and it’s also a charming country to live in. It is all coast, mostly what looks like a strip of land bordering the South China Sea.
Kathleen Peddicord , founder of the Live and Invest Overseas publishing group, writes that English is becoming more and more common throughout the country, that the Vietnamese have a passion for the internet (which is available everywhere), and that despite its history of war and colonial rule, the people are “perhaps surprisingly gracious and friendly to Westerners.” (See also the helpful information in Plan Your Retirement Abroad .)
Da Nang: Beachfront and Great for Golfers
In Da Nang, for example, according to Peddicord writing in U. S. News and World Report, you (two of you) can live on $1,200 a month. Wouldn’t that leave at least a little something for traveling back home occasionally? Da Nang, she says, is not a tourist trap. It is situated on the South China Sea coast at the mouth of the Han River and is also home to Vietnam’s best golf course (so said Golf Digest last year), and it has a long, beautiful beach. Da Nang is where a major U. S. Air Force Base was located during the war, but that was a long time ago, and the Vietnamese apparently welcome American visitors and retirees now. The Vietnamese are a hardworking people determined to make it in today’s world, according to all reports. Vietnamonline. com describes the city, third largest in the country, as becoming an "organized urban area, with beach front villas on one side and (the) Han River flowing on the other."
Da Nang, a city of a million people dotted with new skyscrapers, is also a place of wide, easily-traveled roads and wide sidewalks, too, for those who like to walk free of bikes and especially motorbikes. It still retains its small-town feel, says U. S. News, and it is, amazingly, litter-free, Peddicord reports, and it has an active recycling program. How rare that is in Southeast Asian countries, you may know from your own travels. The beach is utterly beautiful and very clean, with lifeguards and litter barrels, and yet it is not a “beach town,” so it’s easy to find a deserted stretch for lolling.
Nha Trang: Tropical Resort and Magnet for Expats
Nha Trang lies on southeastern Vietnam’s Nha Trang Bay, about 275 miles northeast of Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a popular Vietnamese vacation destination, with more than four miles of beaches. And it’s home to 400,000 people, including hundreds of expats. The city has a tropical climate, with high temperatures ranging from 82 F to 91 F and lows in the high 60s F. Best of all, Nha Trang has a long dry season, which runs from January to August. It experiences its heaviest rainfall in October and November. Mountains surround three sides of the city, and a large island just off the coast shelters Nha Trang during heavy storms.
One couple, described on International Living’s website, rent “a modern studio apartment – a five-minute walk from the ocean –… fully furnished and includ[ing] cable, Wi-Fi, a small kitchen, maid service, laundry six days a week, a security guard, a weight room, and utilities for $300 a month.” There are also long-term hotel stays for about $200 a month. Grocery prices are way below what US citizens are used to – 10 cents for a baguette (the French colonial influence), 10 eggs for under a dollar, and two lbs. of potatoes for less than a dollar. And the food in restaurants is delicious – Vietnam's cuisine is much influenced by French cooking but has its own distinct style of light, bright flavors – very fresh food and of course a lot of seafood.
Dalat: Mountain Greenery and Gardeners' Delight
Dalat is a quite different kind of place – not on the coast, for one thing. But it has a big advantage in a hot country: While it’s further south than Nha Trang, it has an average yearly temperature of 57 F. It’s really a mountain resort complete with pine trees. You can rent an apartment in Dalat for around $300, eat out for less than a dollar…and get a good hour-long massage for $5. The city is famous for its flowers and holds a flower festival in December and January. It’s not easy to find English-language real estate agents and service providers, but you can always try the local university.
According to International Living, if you choose to live there, you should choose a place on the outskirts, no matter how tempting the center is, with its thriving seafood market and its (man-made) moon-shaped Xuan Huong Lake. Charming French architecture from the colonial days is still in evidence, but the outskirts are prettier than the center of town, experts say, with better views. Dalat is not on the sea, but it’s just three hours from Nha Trang, where you can go for a beach vacation. Some retirees divide their time between the two.
La línea de fondo
If cost of living is a major consideration in your retirement, Vietnam could be the answer. For your home base, you can choose between the mountains and the beaches. (You may also be interested in reading Retirement Planning: Introduction and Find The Top Retirement Cities In The Philippines. )

Most Recent Warnings and Dangers in Da Nang
strangelove's danger wanring
by sci_ron Written Oct 23, 2009
I just read that danger warning about his bill at Da Nang airport. A little petty I thought, given that the average income for these people is around US$330 PER ANNUM. and he ***ed about US$ 3.50. Oh - that's right - it's the principle isn't it. Well I guess that'll teach them.
They rely on us for their income. Without us travellers they would be a lot more hungry, and a lot poorer. I'm not a rich dude by any means, but I'm more than happy to tip 10,000 VND when it's merited. Don't be such a tight fist. If you can afford to travel to Vietnam, then support the locals and give what you can.
Airport Restaurant at Danang International Airport
Helpfulness
Just before our flight to Hanoi from Danang, we had lunch at the "Airport Restaurant". We ordered a fish in cream sauce, sweet and sour shrimps, fried rice with crab meat and 2 iced coffee. The standard of the food was reasonable.
The bill came up to USD10 (160,000 dong). There was no item-breakdown on the bill, just a figure of USD10. At the payment counter, I requested for the menu to check the prices of the items that we had ordered. When I reached the second item, the cashier (a senior looking lady) closed my menu and ordered another waitress to bring me to the secondary dining hall, away from the curious eyes of other diners.
At the secondary dining hall, I requested for the menu again to go through the items that we had ordered. Again, the waitress closed my menu and wrote 69,000dong on a piece of paper, gesturing me to pay this amount. I refused to and insisted on using the menu. Eventually, the bill came up to 90,000 dong, according to the menu prices.
When we went back to make payment at the counter, no word of apology or smile was given by the staff.

Introducción
What sets Da Nang apart from many other developing Southeast Asian cities is that to a large degree the people have benefited from changes. Where once the landstrip to the east of the city was a wasteland of poverty, 10 bridges have been built connecting the two city parts. Meanwhile, with the resorts has come an influx of foreign workers – at last count in 2013 more than 4,000 had chosen to make Da Nang their home -- and many more have made a break from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The city streets are lined with international quality dining and drinking options and it's not just the foreign presence that can be felt, but a more modern, exciting local scene has emerged comfortably alongside as well.
Travellers using Da Nang as either a transit route to the more touristed Hoi An or as a beach resort break will notice Da Nang's popularity among short-stay Asian travellers and won't see much in the way of the marketing of cultural aspects of the city. To most, the "ancient" side of the city resides solely in the Cham museum and maybe a little towards the fishing villages further north. But exploring away from the main drag of Bach Dang will unearth buckets of colonial architecture, an ancient citadel, a huge street food scene packed full of dishes you'll not see anywhere else in Vietnam and a vibrant atmosphere. Now's the time to sample it for yourself, because those clever folks on the Da Nang tourism board are catching on and it won't be long before you are being herded through on a tour group just like all those folks in Hoi An.
The name Da Nang will have a familiar ring to anyone acquainted with America's military action in Vietnam, as it was home to one-fifth of all US service people, and a transit or R&R spot for most of the rest, making it one of the most occupied -- and heavily defended -- cities in South Vietnam during the war period. Eventually, however, it fell to the North Vietnamese in 1975 with hardly a bullet fired.
During the French colonial period, Da Nang was called Tourane . a name still used by some of the hotels in the city. The French also used it as a landing point during their war in Vietnam; when the French established a garrison on the nearby Son Tra peninsula (dubbed Monkey Mountain by US troops) more soldiers died from disease building it than during the associated fighting. Today a small cemetery near Tien Sa Beach stands in their memory.
Most visitors who pass through Da Nang are on their way to Hoi An. one of Vietnam's top tourist destinations. Those who linger are most likely seeking sun at gorgeous Non Nuoc (China Beach). In Da Nang city itself there's the excellent Cham Museum, a great primer for a visit to My Son further to the south, a large Cao Dai temple and a pleasant riverfront boulevard, while the immediate area includes Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain and Ba Na hill station.
Many travellers who show up in Da Nang find the city dull and end up heading elsewhere fast. It's true that Da Nang is a more difficult city to visit than other spots in Vietnam and you can't experience the best of it just by walking around and seeing what you find, as you can in Nha Trang or Hoi An. You really have to seek out the hidden corners and some advanced preparation can really enrich your experience.
Orientation
In 2013 Da Nang attracted more than three million visitors and of those only 600,000 were Westerners -- the other 2.4 million were Asian travellers. For accommodation this means that standards are high and (for a city) cheap -- the best hotels and guesthouses are all well located and priced at around $20 to $40 a night, including an Asian buffet breakfast. (If you don't want the breakfast, see if you can get a rate without and eat elsewhere.) For budget accommodation, outside the city you can grab a decent room for $10 to $15 a night, but in downtown Da Nang the standard of guesthouses and hotels in this price range drops to almost unbearable, with a few badly located exceptions. If you are travelling on a tight budget, look at the guesthouses on the east side of the river on Tran Hung Dao or near the beach in Ngu Hahn Son district. Travel to the city from here will only cost a couple of dollars and there are plenty of places to eat, drink and relax.
Da Nang has installed free mega WiFi . which can be accessed from all over the city and is pretty reliable. ATMs are located all over the city, with the highest concentration nearest the big swing bridge, Han River Bridge on riverside Bach Dang Street. Donga banks have the highest withdrawal limits (five million VND, approx US$250), but you can make multiple withdrawals. The ATM withdrawal fee is 20,000 VND per transaction, but do remember you will also be charged by your home bank. If you have an HSBC account there is a branch on Tran Phu Street, or look out for Techcom ATMs which link to HSBC. For travellers cheques at 2 percent and direct bank transfers at 3.3 percent go to either Vietcom or Sacom Bank, both on Bach Dang Street. Opening hours are from 07:30 to 11:30 and 13:00 to 17:00 weekdays. At weekends Sacom Bank opens from 07:30 to 11:30.
For international standard medical treatment most resorts, hotels and taxis will know the Family Medical Practice on Nguyen Van Linh Street, which is available for emergencies and callouts around the clock, seven days per week. They can also help arrange medical evacuation if needed, dealing directly with most travel insurance companies on your behalf. Charges for a consultation start at around $70. A better alternative may be to go straight to a hospital -- Da Nang has many and believe us, if you've had a bad motorbike accident they know what they are doing. The main problems are after-care and low hygiene standards.
The Hoan My Hospital on Nguyen Cong Tru Street is your best bet for everything from a gippy tummy through to the worst that could possibly happen. The care here is excellent, standards are international and so are a lot of the surgeons and nursing staff. And prices are far cheaper then at Family Medical.
If you do find yourself in another hospital, practically all of them have an English-speaking doctor or nursing staff, so seek them out, contact Hoan My and organise relocation as soon as is physically possible. You'll need to clear your bills and get a doctor from Hoan My to sign you over into their care and arrange transportation. We can't stress how important this is, especially post surgery. Local hospitals are not set up to deal with after-care.
For dental emergencies, East Meets West Dental Centre on Nui Thanh Street is an excellent international-standard facility. The Vietnamese staff are supported by qualified dental practitioners from all over the world and they also provide free dental care for thousands of poor children and families in Central Vietnam every year.
If you need to ship something back home, Da Nang's central post office is located on Nguyen Van Linh Street. International shipping is provided through reliable companies like DHL and EMS. To tie in with customs procedures you'll need to use their packaging service and fill out a customs form.

Overview from top of Son Tra
Da Nang (Đà Nẵng) is Vietnam 's fourth or fifth largest city, and is on the South China Sea coast, midway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and the largest city of Central Vietnam.
The city itself has neither the ambiance of Hanoi nor the hustle-bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, but has its share of sights and is close to the charms of Hoi An and the imperial capital of Hue. making it a popular vacation spot for those looking to explore the attractions of central Vietnam or soak up some sun while hanging out on the city's beaches.
Understand Edit
The regions surrounding Da Nang (My Son. Quang Nam ) were founded by the Cham Hindus most possibly 3,000 years ago, serving as the capital city and centre of the Hindu Champa Dynasty. Vietnamese invasions into the region in the 17th century significantly halted Cham development.
Given that Da Nang was the first point of colonial invasion, many vestiges of French architecture are present in the historic buildings.
There are many remnants of the "American War" leftover in Da Nang. During the war, many monuments and buildings were destroyed. On the way to the popular tourist spot; China Beach, the ruins of a military base remain in the form of helicopter hangars, although these are now more easily spotted at the airport, which serves both civil and military flights.
The city is often overlooked by tourists but is one of the friendliest to backpackers in all of Vietnam. My Khe Beach, known to American GIs as China Beach, is now home to a small community of guesthouse owners, marble statue shops, and other various trades. Some of the most beautiful and isolated beaches in Vietnam are found here, among some of the friendliest people. This is a must-stop for the budget traveller.
Until relatively recently, Da Nang was somewhat hostile to foreigners, a consequence of the attitudes of those who controlled the provincial government. In the early 1990s, however, this changed, and since then the provincial (actually autonomous city) government has been enthusiastically pursuing foreign investment and infrastructure development. Da Nang has some of the best roads in the country. The coast road is at least four lanes from northern provincial boundary to southern provincial boundary. Compared to either Hanoi or HCMC, traffic in Da Nang is always relatively light, although huge trucks blast through every now and again and there are brief rush hours.
The city has grown rapidly in recent years, and had a 2008 population estimated at 900,000. Until recently, this growth was mostly outward and infill, but now there are high-rises going up. Development is visible and rapid; the city has expanded tremendously in the last ten years, and several multi-storey buildings as well as more beach resorts are under construction, and there are now at least three large supermarkets as well as a Metro wholesaler. This involves redevelopment of areas near the city beaches across the river, with whole blocks of old housing being razed, new roads paved, and luxurious villas constructed.
