HCM CITY — Australian travel website Finder (finder.com.au) has chosen the central city of Da Nang as one of the best travel destinations in 2019.
The premier city in central Viet Nam is ranked sixth among the top destinations and trends in the world for next year.
Da Nang has a beautiful beach and is only an hour’s drive from Hoi An. Split your time between both cities by taking the fastest route by taxi, at an affordable VND300,000 (US$14) for one way.
Hoi An is also ranked 14th in the world for expatriates to live in, according to The Travel website, thanks to the town’s “cheap cost of living”.
The Canadian travel site said that Hoi An is the best destination for budget-conscious foreigners who want to settle down in Viet Nam, with monthly living costs around US$1,000.
Da Nang has been increasingly catching the eye of foreign travel guides and magazines.
In the first 10 months of the year, Da Nang received 6.83 million visitors, up 22 per cent over the same period last year, according to the city’s tourism department.
More than 2.5 million were foreign arrivals, up 31 per cent.
From HCM City to Da Nang, visitors can travel by bus, train and airplane. The bus costs VND400,000 ($18), but it will take around 20 hours. – VNS
