Da Nang
Da Nang is central Vietnam's coastal powerhouse, a city where wide sandy beaches, the marble-riddled Marble Mountains, and a skyline of modern bridges sit within easy reach of the ancient towns of Hoi An and Hue. It's grown from a wartime air base into one of the country's most livable cities, prized as much for its street food and river-front nightlife as for its jumping-off point status for the Central Vietnam coast.
