Da Nang Vietnam Travel

We booked our flights and hotel a few months before the actual trip to Da Nang, Vietnam and we realised that we hit the beginning of the China's Covid-19 epidemic outbreak. Lucky for us the outbreak seems to be self contained in Wuhan, China but gradually it became a very deadly pandemic in a matters of few weeks after we reached back home from our trip from  Da Nang, Vietnam. Well, this blog is not about the epidemic but more of our relaxing and utterly enjoyable experience when we visited Da Nang. 

For those of you who don't know where Da Nang is located, here's a map of the actual location. Da Nang is located practically along the many beaches which we will be guiding you later in this blog and it's such a great place to visit.

DAY 1 - 28.01.2020

We reached Da Nang International Airport at around late afternoon and manage to get a cab to our accommodation in Seashore Hotel. We proceeded to walk nearby our hotel for dinner and manage to secure a table after searching some of the restaurants for food from google maps recommendations. We headed for Ngoc Huong Seafood restaurant as this was recommended most with 4 star ratings. Generally most places for dinner are seafood as Da Nang nestled around beaches like Myt Khe, Non Nuoc, Lang Co and many more.

Since there are only three of us, we manage to order only a steam grouper, lobster and a Vietnamese fried rice which tasted quite good. The lobster was handpicked by us and the flesh was firm and fresh out of sea indeed.

DAY 2 - 29.01.2020

Our 2nd day we booked a car to visit Hai Van Pass Mountain in Hue City for some photoshoot and it was drizzling and cool possibly around 16 - 18*C. The haze was quite thick and we miss out on some of the sight seeing spots except for Hai Van Gate which turns out great. 

After the chilling cool in Hai Van Pass, our driver continue our next stop at Thien Mu Pagoda.  It is a seven-story pagoda and it's regarded as the unofficial symbol of the city, and the temple sits on the Hà Khê hill, in the ward of Hương Long in Huế.

Our last stop for the day is a visit to Khai Dinh Tomb and it is said to be located in Chau Chu mountain near Huế in Vietnam. It was built for Khải Định, the twelfth Emperor of the Nguyễn dynasty. It was built from 1920 to 1931 taking 11 years to complete. The tomb is a blend of Western and Eastern architecture.
