About the city of Da Nang with a total of 6 districts, people also understand more about this place. Compared to Hanoi and Saigon, Da Nang has a much smaller area but is gradually developing on a par and is also a city directly under the Central Government.

Da Nang city is located in the central part of the country, on the North – South traffic axis in terms of road, railway, sea and air. It borders Thua Thien Hue to the North, Quang Nam to the West, and the East Sea to the East. This city is considered the center of Central Vietnam, located about 964 km south of bustling Ho Chi Minh City and about 764 km north of the thousand-year-old cultural capital Hanoi.

A little further is the world natural heritage Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park and Paradise Cave.

And it is impossible not to mention that it is the Marble Mountains, especially Ba Na Hills – the name that makes up the brand for Da Nang tourism and many other places.

Da Nang is located in the tropical monsoon climate area, with high temperature and little fluctuation. Due to its favorable location, the climate here has a transition, alternating between Northern and Southern climates. However, it is not divided into 4 distinct seasons like the North, but only 2 main seasons are the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season starts from the last month of August to December and the dry season from January to July. The year-round temperature ranges from 25 to 26 degrees Celsius, there is not much difference between the months.

In the dry season, the average temperature is 25.7 degrees Celsius, sometimes there is a cold wave but it quickly ends.

In contrast, in the rainy season, the rainfall is more, but the temperature is still not too low, averaging 25.5 degrees Celsius. However, there is a possibility of thunderstorms and storms. If you want to travel to Da Nang, consider choosing the right time.

In the sixteenth century, when the trading port of Hoi An was the busiest trading place in Southeast Asia, Da Nang was also a place for transshipment of goods and also the largest shipbuilding place in the country. After a few years with strong development, Da Nang is replacing Hoi An to become the number 1 trading port to trade with countries around the world. In the year 1835 to the reign of King Minh Mang, he ordered all foreign merchant ships to be anchored only at Han River Port and other seaports not to trade. Since then, Da Nang has officially become the largest and most developed commercial port in the Central region of Vietnam.

Previously, Quang Nam and Da Nang were one province and then split into two separate provinces. When separated, Da Nang has grown tremendously to attract huge domestic and foreign investors before transforming into the largest city in the Central region under the Central Government today. It was the French colonialists, when they invaded Vietnam in 1889, separated Da Nang from Quang Nam and the Indochina government directly ruled.

Under the coloniasation, French people also invested a lot in Da Nang such as constructing the bridge across the Han River is still retained as “Nguyen Van Troi Bridge” and now its becomes a pedestrian bridge for tourists. And the current airport in Da Nang was also built by the French to serve the war and minerals transportation.

France officially returned Da Nang to the government of King Bao Dai in 1950. Then in 1965 when the US invaded the country, it also landed in Da Nang. The war devastated Da Nang a lot until 1975 when the peaceful city of Da Nang began to recover from the heavy consequences of the war.

In 1996, with remarkable achievements in development, Da Nang was officially recognized as the leading city directly under the Central Government in central Vietnam.

Peace of mind, hospitality and enthusiasm are the trademark of Da Nang people.

+ Peace of mind: Da Nang people have a calm and slow life. Regardless of the hustle and bustle of life outside, in Da Nang, people are still calm, hard-working and quiet. People do the things they love and rest on time, not being too greedy and not working to earn a lot of money. Unlike many places, when you come to Da Nang to eat, drink and shop, you rarely encounter a situation of guillotine. The cultural identity of the people of Da Nang remains intact until now and when people come to Danang, they must say “Why” life here is so peaceful.

+ Hospitality: With a gentle and honest nature is the identity as well as the typical brand of Da Nang people. Tourists coming to Da Nang are always warmly welcomed and there is no distinction of being “visitors” like other tourist development cities across the country. Not only the big 4-5 star luxury hotels but even the smaller hotels show hospitality professionalism. The waiters are always important, the friendly smile, the gestures of obedience, the way of addressing uncles and aunts … also soften everyone’s heart when coming here. Therefore, coming to Da Nang makes us feel strange and unforgettable closeness and intimacy.

+ Enthusiasm: Come to Da Nang, you will feel that the local people are so enthusiastic, they forget even their own benefits and sometimes go out and are easily disadvantaged. Traveling around Da Nang, you don’t need Google Maps because you’re never afraid of being “lost”. The people of Da Nang are so enthusiastic that when you ask for directions but you just don’t understand, they will lead you to the place without receiving any remuneration.

And now Da Nang tourism has been very developed, the people here are so used to welcoming millions of tourists every year. And support world-class events such as the International Fireworks Festival in Danang and other outstanding events of the year. This is Danang’s human culture, a love with a well-defined emotion called Da Nang.

If the traffic jam is miserable when you are in Saigon or Hanoi, the traffic in Da Nang is extremely clear. Everyone in traffic is very lawful and obeys traffic laws very seriously. Rarely do you see someone on the street without a helmet, speeding recklessly and running a red light.

Da Nang streets are also in the top 1 in Vietnam in terms of traffic signals. You go to every intersection, you will see a red light and have to say why are there so many red and green lights. But everyone still obeys the respectable law that no one rushes to run a red light to endanger others. Da Nang streets, intersections, intersections, and intersections all have cold penalty cameras when people violate traffic will have a paper sent home. Therefore, quickly, you will be fined if you violate it. Do not be foolish when moving in Da Nang without obeying traffic laws.

+ About the weather in Da Nang, it is extremely cool because the city is surrounded by the Sea. Da Nang is located in the tropical monsoon climate every year with high temperature and little fluctuation.

+ In terms of climate in Da Nang, there are two distinct seasons: Sunny season and Rainy season, because it is located in the middle of the country, it is clearly influenced by the Northern and Southern provinces.

Sunny season: Lasts from April to September, this time it rains less and the temperature rises, suitable for sea tourism and sightseeing.

Rainy season: Usually from October to February, this time the weather is rainy and sometimes it rains whole week without stopping. But that’s not why it doesn’t attract tourists, Da Nang is a year-round tourist city. The weather and climate in Da Nang is not too extreme. The dry season is not too hot and the rainy season is not too cold. Therefore, Da Nang becomes the tourist paradise of Vietnam.
