DA NANG NIGHTLIFE

DA NANG

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DA NANG

Previously occupied by both the French and the Americans, Da Nang marks the halfway point between the capital in the north, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City in the south. It’s the fourth largest city in Vietnam. Apart from some shopping highlights and historical sights, the main reason for most travellers staying here is its proximity to the well-known China Beach, Lang Co Beach, Hoi An and My Son.

Lang Co Beach is lined with palm trees, the water of the nearby ocean crystal-clear and enticing, lapping onto white sand. It is a peninsula with a sparkling lagoon on one side, and the beach on the other. The area is fairly under-developed, although recent years have seen many new hotels opening.

China Beach is more developed, since it was a popular spot for American soldiers seeking R&R during the Vietnam-US War. Water sport activities here are in abundance, and it can get very crowded over weekends and holidays. Da Nang’s coastline stretches 30 kilometres, renowned for calm, cool waters and also popular for fishing, water-skiing, diving, and yachting.

With an airport with daily flights from across cities in Vietnam and a train station, Da Nang is easily accessible. It is just over 760km from Hanoi, and almost 950km from Ho Chi Minh City. There are many good hotels to choose from, no matter the type of accommodation you’re looking for. 

Da Nang Nightlife

Nightlife in Danang isn't the hottest in Vietnam. Nevertheless, if you feel like dancing try the Camel Club on Ly Thuong Kiet and the New Phuong Dong discotheque on Duong Da Street. There is one more, smaller disco in town near the Han River called Number One Disco. Things start happening at 20:00 and go on until late. Joints for expats include Cool Spot Cool Spot on 112 Tran Phu, Da Nang and Red Hot Red Hot on 179 Nguyen Van Linh. Try them out.
