Da Nang

Da Nang History

In the middle of the 16th century, when Hoi An was the trading center of southern Vietnam, Da Nang was nothing more than a small port for relaying goods and repairing ships. Due to the development of European shipbuilding technology, large ships with deep drafts could easily enter Da Nang Bay, so it gradually developed as a commercial port to replace Hoi An from the beginning of the 18th century. In 1835, when King Min Mann ordered that he would not allow anchoring to trade at ports other than Han Port, Da Nang became the largest commercial port in central China. Local small industries prospered, including shipbuilding, primary processing of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, trade and services. After controlling the whole of Vietnam in 1889, French colonists separated Da Nang from Quang Nam Province with Da Nang city of Touran. Renamed and placed under the control of Governor Indochina.

The 20th century

From the beginning of the 20th century, Touran has evolved as a European model with a focus on social infrastructure and manufacturing technology. Many types of economic activities formed and prospered, including agricultural production, small industries, export product processing (tea, food, beverages, ice, alcohol, fish sauce, dried fish), shipbuilding and repairs, and services. Together with Haiphong and Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), it has become an important trading center for the country. In 1950, France gave the Bao Dai government administrative power over Da Nang city.

In March 1965, the United States Marine Corps landed and began building a large military-industrial complex. Da Nang city designated as a centrally governed city in 1967, and the US military and Saigon government made Danang the political, military and cultural center of the 1st and 2nd tactical areas accordingly. Infrastructure such as military bases and airports, ports, warehouses, roads, public works, telecommunications stations, and banks built. The industry flourished, and as a result

It has changed from the industrial area of ​​handicrafts. For example, the Hoakan Industrial Zone used for the production of oxygen, acetylene and detergents, the crushing and textile industries. However, the devastating war has led to thousands of rural people fleeing to refugee camps. Slums have emerged in cities, social crime has increased, and production has ceased.

In 1975, after full independence, Danang (temporarily Quang Nam-Da Nang Province) began to overcome the serious consequences of the war. Despite many difficulties, the reconstruction and development of the city, especially in 1986

After the economic renewal, there were some achievements.

Da Nang one of the largest cities in Vietnam, so there many ways to get there. There an international airport, a railway station, an intercity bus station and a seaport. True, the latter option not suitable for tourists due to the lack of ferry connections with other resorts.

Below we will take a closer look at all the ways to get into the city.

The most popular domestic carriers Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific. The main Malaysian low-cost airline AirAsia does not operate on domestic flights, but since 2014 it has a direct flight from Kuala Lumpur .

How to get from Da Nang airport to Da Nang city center

Da Nang Airport located within the Da Nang city limits and if your hotel in the north, you can even walk. You can also take a taxi from the airport, which ordered at a special counter in the arrivals area (next to the exit from the building, on the right side). You can also catch a private trader when leaving. The cost of a taxi depends on the distance and starts at $ 5 (100,000 VND).

If you have small luggage, you can also get from Da Nang Airport to the hotel by motorcycle taxi. The trip will cost from $ 2 (VND 40,000).

For some, Da Nang a transit place and they fly here to then immediately go to Hue or Hoi An. This can directly from the airport by taxi. In the first case, the trip will cost from $ 50 (a little more than 2 hours to go), and in the second – from $ 25 (half an hour). If you want to save money, you can get to the Ben xe trung tam intercity bus station for a couple of dollars, and from there for a penny to the desired resort (for example, to Hoi An it costs 18,000 dong (less than a dollar).

By bus

You can get to Da Nang by bus from any city or resort in Vietnam. This an inexpensive and popular option for those looking to save money. But keep in mind that there will be savings if you come from Nha Trang, Hoi An or Hue, i.e. from central Vietnam. But from Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi to go almost a day too tiring, and the ticket not much cheaper than the flight.

There two variants of buses – tourist, departing from travel agencies and regular buses, which served by bus stations. The first option usually much better because transport arrives and departs from the tourist area and tickets bought at any travel agency on the street and even at your hotel. But for Da Nang, there one “but”: if you booked a hotel in the beach area, which not considered tourist, as in other resorts, since in this city all travel agencies located across the river, about 3 km from the coast. Thus, tourist buses come to one of the agencies across the river, from which you will still have to take a taxi to the hotel. But still, it two times closer than getting from the bus station.

Almost all tourist buses have their final stop at Hue (if traveling from the south of Vietnam) or Hoi An and Nha Trang (if from the north). In Da Nang, they only stop for a minute to drop off a few passengers. Here the approximate prices and duration of the trip to Da Nang:

Hanoi: $ 18, travel time – 18 hours;

Regular buses

Regular buses arrive at Da Nang’s Ben xe trung tam bus station, which located 2 km west of the airport (see the exact location on the map below). They come from all over Vietnam, even from cities that unpopular with tourists. From the station to the hotel on the beach you can take a taxi for 6 dollars or a motorcycle taxi for 3. If your accommodation located not on the coast, but across the river from it (where all the infrastructure with shops and tour bureaus located), then you can take city buses No. 1 and No. 2 (travel 5,000 dong).

Below approximate prices for regular buses that arrive and depart from Da Nang Bus Station:

Ho Chi Minh City: VND 162,000 regular, VND 216,000 second class. Travel time 20 hours;

Hanoi: VND 150,000 regular, VND 170,000 in second class, VND 230,000 in first class. Travel time 18 hours.

The carrier Mailinh Express very popular among tourists. Their buses more comfortable, but also more expensive.

On ordinary days, tickets for regular buses bought even 5 minutes before departure, but on weekends, holidays or the Vietnamese New Year – Tet should do it a few days in advance. Otherwise, it will turn out like with the authors of the site, who decided to go to Tet from Da Nang to Nha Trang. Arriving at the bus station, we learned that tickets sold out for the next few days, and from inexpensive companies, even for a week in advance.

We do not recommend using the bus on this site due to the many troubles and the fact that it takes more than an hour to reach Hoi An.

Motorcycle taxi (Theom) in Da Nang

Motorcycle taxis, also known as theoms, a means of transportation that take you to your destination by riding behind your motorcycle.

Where to stay in Da Nang

Downtown Da Nang and the banks of the Han River

The center of Da Nang considered to be the area between the airport and the Han River, also known as the Hải Châu District. But it on the banks of the Han River, between the Dragon Bridge (Cầu Rồng) and the Fireworks Bridge (Cầu Sông Hàn), where the majority of tourist accommodation actually concentrated. It definitely the liveliest place in Da Nang, where you will find the cheapest accommodation, the most gastronomic variety, the most cafes and also the most traffic.

And although the backpacking offer still not very present in Da Nang, the few hostels that beginning to see precisely here in the center, while in the beach areas most of the accommodation based on apartments, hotels, and resorts.

If you want to sleep close to the center, but have a little more tranquility, on the banks of the Han River heading north, you will find the luxury hotels.

Bac My An Beach

My An my favorite area to stay in Da Nang. It the beach that bathes the maritime neighborhood with the same name and where you will find a wide range of hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops. It the area most frequented by western tourism.

Like its neighboring neighborhood, it also in full growth, there many works in progress and a lot of empty lots. So the most advisable thing to stay on the first, second or third line of the sea, to have the services closer. The promenade in My An a bit narrower than in My Khe, but the beach still wide and perfect for lying in the sun, playing soccer, volleyball, and even surfing its waves.

Bãi tắm T20 and Non Nuoc Beach

Following My An, there the areas of Khuê Mỹ and Hòa Hải, better known for their T20 and Non-Nuoc Beach beaches. This long coastal area that extends to the BRG Danang Golf Resort, where luxury villas and resorts concentrated.

The good thing about staying in this area the tranquility that you breathe and the fact that you have your “private” piece of beach. While the negative part that it far from the center and outside the resort there still not much life.

In the Non Nuoc beach area they still building more hotels and resorts, so I recommend staying at the first beach, T20.

Son Tra Peninsula

The Son Tra Peninsula the mountainous area that lies northeast of Da Nang. It the area that marks the end of the long beaches in the far north. And although there were plans to develop the peninsula, today it still a conservation area.

Even so, several hotels and resorts built. Today some of them still in operation, others half-built and others completely abandoned. If what you looking for total isolation and enjoy the resort and its private beaches, it would be a good option to stay on the Peninsula. On the other hand, you will need a motorcycle to go anywhere, as it away from everything. If you want to visit Da Nang, I recommend staying somewhere less isolated.
