Short description of Hoi An, Da Nang, Hue

Hoi an

The first major central city, which you will meet on the way from Nha Trang will be Hoi An. It is home to the old quarter, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a stunning atmosphere and spirit of old Vietnam. Here you should definitely try the local food and cooking classes, stroll the streets of the old quarter, and shop at the many shops. Be sure to also take a bike ride to the suburbs of Hoi An, where you will see the delightful rice fields and colorful local life.

Da Nang

Da Nang is one of the largest cities in Vietnam. There are amazing beaches, good hotels, many interesting places nearby such as: Hoi An, Marble Mountains, national park Batma. In the city itself, there are also many interesting places, and first of all, what is worth paying attention to is its majestic bridges.

Hue

Hue - was once the capital of Vietnam, the city of the emperors of Vietnam. Now, after many wars and destruction, the palaces of the last imperial dynasty of Vietnam and the extraordinary spirit of the old city remain in it. There are also many interesting pagodas that are open to the public. The most famous is perhaps the Thien Mu Pagoda, where the belongings of one of the famous monks who gave his life (self-immolation) have been preserved to save Buddhists from all over Vietnam from attacks from the government of South Vietnam. You can take a boat near the pagoda. To ride along the Fragrant River, which is so called because of the herbs that grow along its banks. Not far from Hue is the city of Dong Hoi, from where treks to the largest cave in the world - Shamdong start. Also, Hue is the starting point in the center of Vietnam, from where you can get to Laos.

Whichever city central Vietnam you have not visited, you will definitely have something to see in the listed cities. Due to the fact that they have a small distance from each other, it is highly recommended to see them all.

How to get from Nha Trang to Hoi An - Da Nang - Hue

The route from Nha Trang to Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue is very simple, since these cities lie on the same line of almost all transport routes. The first from Nha Trang is Hoi An (HoiAn) 510 km from Nha Trang to the north of the country, further north goes Da Nang (DaNang) 30 km from Hoi An (540 km from Nha Trang) and even further north Hue (Hue) 95 km from Da Nang (635 from Nha Trang). The path lies through very beautiful serpentines next to the sea with breathtaking views. Also, if you travel by land, you will pass cities such as Tuy Hoa and Quy Nhon, which may also be of interest to travelers.

Bus . Every morning and every evening, special tourist (recumbent!) Buses leave from Nha Trang. The cost for them is about the same and is 10-12 USD to Hoi An, 15-17 USD to Da Nang and 20-22 USD to Hue one way per person. Usually these buses run from Nha Trang to Hanoi and stop at Hoi An, Da Nang and Hue. Estimated travel time is 8-10 hours to Hoi An and Da Nang, 12-14 hours to Hue. In the morning, buses leave at 8, 9, 11, 13 o'clock, in the evening - 19 and 20 o'clock. You may need to change the bus on the way. This usually happens in Hoi An and Hue. But have bus companies this moment is well debugged, and you will have time to explore the city fast and have a bite to eat.

There are a sufficient number of bus companies, below the name and address in Nha Trang are some of the best and most tried:

The Sinh Tourist - thesinhtourist.vn - 90C Hung Vuong St.,
Hanh Cafe - hanhcafe.vn - 10 Hung Vuong Street
Phuong Trang (or

It amazed with its infrastructure and civilization: there are many convenient transport interchanges, traffic lights that are not ignored by the locals (like in Nha Trang).

Large and beautiful Administrative Center of Da Nang

Da Nang has international Airport and a railway station, so getting here is not difficult. Of course, you can also get to Da Nang from any city in Vietnam by slip-bus - this will be the cheapest option. We arrived from Hoi An in a rented car. It cost only 250,000 dong ($ 11), and it took only about half an hour to go.

Evening Da Nang is very beautiful

We were here only one day, so we did not have time to get to know the city well from the inside. But we really liked what we were able to see. I wanted to live in Da Nang for a month or two, to change the already familiar and a little annoying "Russian" for a more Europeanized resort.

Da Nang is the third largest (after Hanoi and) city in Vietnam. Here nice beach, but there are few tourists. Nevertheless, many cool hotels are being built on the shore, and soon Da Nang will become a famous resort. So far, mostly Europeans know about it, we have not met Russian vacationers here. This is explained by the fact that you can get to Da Nang only on your own, package tourists are not brought here ( Russian tour operators here have not yet mastered). It's for the best!

For the Russian people, Danang is also notable for the fact that the consulate general of Russia is located here. In addition to Da Nang, there is a Russian consulate in Vietnam only in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

What to see in Da Nang? Despite the fact that the city is large, there are few attractions in it: the Cham Culture Museum (which we did not visit, because we have already seen similar museums at and), the Dragon Bridge and recently opened.

Danang is also famous for the world's longest cable car, 35 km from the city. It is even included in the Guinness Book of Records not only as the longest, but also the highest cable car in the world (you will have to travel about 20 minutes at an altitude of 1200 meters). A cab ride costs 400,000 VND ($ 18). Expensive, considering that in Nha Trang you can buy a ticket for 550 thousand dongs and, in addition to a whole day of attractions on the island, also ride the cable car connecting Nha Trang with the island (by the way, it is the longest cable car in the world, passing above the sea).

Dragon Bridge in Da Nang

There are 5 bridges across the Han River in Da Nang. Each of the bridges (except one, the northernmost one) is a work of art. There is even an analogue of the famous bridge in San Francisco (Thuan Phuoc Bridge).

Thuan Phuoc Bridge at sunset, it looks even cooler at night

But the most famous is the Dragon Bridge. This is the greatest pride of the inhabitants of Da Nang (which is understandable, because there are practically no attractions here). This bridge was opened in 2013. Its length is 666 meters (a terrible number). The bridge was built by American architects, spending $ 88 million on the construction.

Twice a week, the iron dragon comes to life and an unusual show begins: its mouth spews fire and water. This is an unusual sight, to see which a huge crowd of tourists and locals always gathers (it seems they will never get bored).

The dragon is illuminated with all the colors of the rainbow!

The show starts at 21:00 every Friday and Saturday. Lasts about 15 minutes. To observe the revived dragon near the bridge, there are special round observation platforms... But it is on them that the audience falls under the dragon shower! We ourselves got wet to the skin and miraculously saved the camera.

Da Nang (Vietnam) hotels

There are many expensive Spa hotels in Da Nang, among which, according to reviews, the best can be distinguished:

But you can also find economy-variant housing. For example, we removed inexpensive hotel Sea Wonder Hotel not far from the sea (although we did not go to the sea) for only $ 11 per night. Of course, it was not the most spacious room, but everything about it was new and pleasant. The price also included a delicious breakfast for two, and the child could sleep with us in a large bed at no extra charge. The hotel itself was very clean, quite large and well maintained. We can safely recommend it.

How to get from Nha Trang to Da Nang

The distance from Nha Trang to Da Nang is 540 km.

Since both Nha Trang and Da Nang have airports (even international ones), the easiest and fastest way would be fly by plane... But it will also be the most expensive way: the cost of a ticket for the Nha Trang-Da Nang plane, depending on the dates and the lead time of the purchase, varies from $ 45 to $ 280.

Da Nang and Nha Trang are also connected by rail, so you can spend the night in (the cost of a shelf in a 4-seater compartment will be about $ 30).

The cheapest way to get to Da Nang is, of course. It will cost only $ 10 to get from Nha Trang to Da Nang by bus. Travel time is about 12 hours, that is, you get on the bus at about 18:00, and at 6:30 the next day you will be in Da Nang.

Da Nang landmarks

Bridges. After sunset, the city appears to the guests in all its glory, because at this time its numerous bridges are lit with lights. You will visit with a guide the Dragon Bridge, made in the form of a giant mythical creature. No less grandiose are Tuan Phuoc, which resembles the Golden Gate in San Francisco, and the Chan Ti Li Bridge, whose height reaches 700 meters.
Statue of Guanin. It was this landmark that gave the city fame. Da Nang has the most tall sculpture Guanin in Vietnam. Its height reaches 65 meters, which is equal to a 21-storey building. Emphasizes the scale of the statue and the miniature cape where it is located. There is a small monastery near Guanin, which you can also visit with a guide
Embankments. Walking along the embankments is an obligatory point of excursions in Da Nang. They are famous beautiful views, as well as a huge number of intricate marble sculptures. Seeing the variety of compositions, you will understand why this city became famous for marble carvers far beyond the borders of Vietnam.

Tours include visits to Da Nang and Hoi An in the program for a reason. One of the most significant sights of Vietnam is located between the cities. These are the Marble Mountains, consisting of 5 hills. Inside them you can visit the caves, and around are Buddhist sanctuaries and temples.

So, having put my mother on the plane, we began to think about where to move next. The next item on our Vietnam travel program was Hanoi. But before leaving the sunny shores, we decided to visit another seaside town - just for general acquaintance. Moreover, a convenient direct rail flight departed from there to Hanoi.

Therefore, having walked the streets of Nha Trang for the last time and taxied along the way to a hitherto unknown cafe, we captured a little more colorful local reality.

At sunset we sat down (or rather, lay down) in the intercity bus with blue illumination and the rustling of tires moved to Da Nang.

Initially, we conceived a leisurely tour of Danang's sights and catering establishments - for a couple of days, as it happened in other settlements. But with Danang, it turned out differently.

Firstly, it turned out that, despite the tourist nature of the town, there is absolutely no place to live in it. No, there are all over the place hotels, but for some reason they are either not in our usual price category (that is, more than 1000 rubles per day), or so run-down that you don't even want to go there.

Secondly, having arrived early in the morning and having somehow decided on temporary housing, we logically went in search of our breakfast. And here the second and most severe disappointment awaited us. 70 percent of the already very few cafes serve ... only drinks. The maximum they can offer you is a boiled egg or a very small sandwich. Well, maybe even ice cream. In the remaining 30 percent - Pho noodles, which we have already quite liked, in general. But then one big BUT came out in full growth.

Having settled comfortably on the veranda of a pretty cafe that we happily discovered, having ordered this very noodles (and I don't care that it's 9 am and breakfast), we began to anticipate what we ate in Saigon and Nha Trang - an appetizing rich broth with rice noodles and meatballs. However, dreams are dreams, and on the table they put something in between instant noodles like Doshirak and some Georgian, but very tasteless dish. Georgian - because the bowl of soup was almost half filled with cilantro. Either the chef was out of sorts, or it is customary in Da Nang to meet foreigners, testing them for strength, or the locals are strong gourmets, but the result is the same. Even with the degree of hunger that we felt since our arrival, we could not eat it.

The disappointment was intense and overwhelming. Having visited in this way a couple more establishments in the ever-increasing heat, and after that we also took a ride through the streets in a taxi in search of decent establishments, we were finally convinced that our relations with this city would no longer improve and it would be better for everyone if we were from here let's leave as soon as possible. After a bite, in the end, in some coffee shop, excellent coffee (oh yes, they have excellent coffee everywhere the same and I can endlessly write praising epithets for him) and an egg, we went to the station for a ticket for the first flight to Hanoi and went to cool off to the hotel.

From the outside, it may seem that we were too capricious or were biased and picky (I myself, after reading such a review about the city, would say the same thing). However, remembering that day, I can't remember anything that I liked there (well, except for coffee, of course). I can only admit that perhaps the spoiled first impression did not give us a better chance to get a better look at it. And perhaps, if we had a little more patience and a little more luck in finding breakfast, things could have turned out differently. Unfortunately, we did not have a single intelligible photograph of the city, only one hotel room(struck by the presence of a gorgeous bath) and this roaring lion caught on the phone.

But, you cannot erase the words from the song. So that evening, we were relieved to load our backpacks onto the compartment shelves and looked forward to a cooling trip to the north of Vietnam - through the mountains to Hanoi.

The compartment turned out to be exactly like our trains "Moscow-Ufa" or something similar. Old wooden panels, wooden window frames and the same drafts. It is very conducive to nostalgia, especially when you have not been to your homeland for about six months. =)

Our neighbor turned out to be a Vietnamese of about 30 years old, constantly talking on his mobile phone. Whether he was solving some business, or explaining the principle of the washing machine to his old mother - history is not known for certain. But he spoke for a long time and very emotionally, until, probably, the money in the account ran out.

The change in climate and surrounding flora occurred abruptly and without warning. Within an hour and a half after leaving the hot and dusty Da Nang, a fog appeared outside the window and a fine drizzle fell.

We climbed high into the mountains, from where the coastal strip began to seem very narrow, and the sea opened in all its boundless splendor. At some point, I completely ceased to realize that we are still in Vietnam - we are so used to associating this country with the jungle, heat and palm trees.

Outside the window, there was a view in the spirit of Norway, Ireland, or at worst, good old England. Fog clouds, rocky cliffs, vegetation atypical for southern latitudes and mysterious tunnels through the rocks. Amazing change of scenery.

Exactly what we most wanted after several months of incessant heat, lack of normal rainfall and endless beaches.

A semi-dark coupe, wearing Beatles headphones, rain and fog outside the window - and who would have thought that such happiness is possible in Vietnam?;)

“There are places I remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments

With lovers and friends

I still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life I "ve loved them all" (c)

So we fulfilled our long-standing desire to go to Da Nang. Da Nang city is not very popular among tourists, poorly lit on the Internet and there is much less information on it than on Nha Trang. I don't know why, but I was drawn only to this city of Vietnam. My intuition foreshadowed in advance that Da Nang would appeal to us.

But more on that later. First, I will tell you how we got from Nha Trang to Da Nang. Seeing that air tickets from Nha Trang to Da Nang are currently being sold at some unrealistic prices, we decided to go by bus. Check flight prices.

Nha Trang - Da Nang: options, how to get there

The bus went along the coast to Vovan Street, on which we had to get off, since in this area we looked at one very decent hotel on the Booking - (we recommend it!).

Slava went down to the driver and gestured for him to stop. We went out into the city and were very happy that, although with nerves and adventures, we still got to Da Nang.

Transfer Nha Trang - Da Nang

Currently, you can order a transfer from Nha Trang to Da Nang on the Internet. They will pick you up at any hotel and take you to Da Nang on the same day. If you are several people, then it would be advisable order a minibus so that everyone can chip in and share the cost of the transfer.
