Danang Holidays

6D5N Danang (Vietnam) trip by Beruas buddies (hometown classmates and schoolmates) from 8 May 2023 ... The weather there was as hot as an oven; a better season is to visit Danang during early April for a cooler weather. Or maybe the heatwave, not only affecting Msia since 9 April 2023, is also affecting Vietnam.

For a short holiday trip, Danang is a nice place to visit. Facing the east of South China sea, Danang has good sandy beach with many high-rise hotels fronting the sea. The Bana Hills resorts built high up in the mountains with French colonial theme, offers a cooler climate. Located at 1,500m above sea level, the elevation of Bana Hills is 52 meters higher than Cameron Highlands. The most famous landmark at Bana Hills is the Golden Bridge with the signature fingers holding the bridge. 

Hoi An ancient town ... many stalls sell lanterns; they also allow tourists to take photo with a nominal fee

Majority of the tourists in Danang during our visits were from Msia, Taiwan and Korea; visibily missing are the Chinese tourists. The Bana Hills were crowded with people, even on weekdays. On the way back from Danang to Kuala Lumpur, the Air Asia direct flight was almost full, mostly Msian Chinese.
