Originating from the Cham word "Da Nak", meaning "Opening of Big River", Da Nang is a major port city (Vietnam's fourth largest) located to the South Central Coast of Vietnam, on the coast of the South China Sea. It is 764 km south of Ha Noi and 964 km north of Ho Chi Minh City.
In 1847, Da nang was invaded by French vessels in response to persecution of Roman Catholic missionaries. Under the direction of Napolean III, French troops landed in August 1858 and began colonial occupation, later renaming the city "Tourane" in French. The city was used as a major American air abse during the Vietnam War. On January 1, 1997, Da Nang was seperated from Quảng Nam province, becoming the fourth municipality of Vietnam. It now has over 1 million habitants in population, mostly consisting of refugees. Many remnants were left over from the war in Da Nang, and tourists often give it a pass for Ha Noi's more atospheric environment. Amongst some of the friendliest people around, some of the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam can be found right here. Da Nang does not indulge itself in the hustle-bustle of Ho Chi Minh City nor the atmosphere of Hanoi, but it does has it's fair share of sights around the city. It can be most closely compared to the charms of Hoi An and the imperial capital of Hue.

The stay in Da Nang was one of rest and relaxation. My friends and I spent our days there at a resort on China Beach. It was a five-star hotel but with my connections, paid the equilvalent of a two-star. We did a day trip to Hoi An and to Marble Mountain. The rest of the time was spent soaking up the rays of the sun on the white sand beach.

Its hard to put into words my feelings about Vietnam. I leave with mixed emotions about a country with a rich heritage and tremendous potential. I had some truly amazing experiences, but my lasting impressions will be of a people that put money above all else... (ie China)
In order to get a real feel for Vietnam, you MUST get off the Lonely Planet path. Its a watered-down experience to be honest. You're treated like a walking wallet. Get away from that scene and you'll see Vietnam...
