Absolutely scenic road nearby Danang  – Hai Van Pass

Some days I just wanna escape the crowd and be truly alone with the nature. And so I found this wonderful option for half day trip from Danang to enjoy the very best views.

The road up north from Danang along the coast is just epic! There are numerous viewpoints, waterfalls, historic landmarks. 

In about an hour drive you can reach Don Ca Arch Bridge - railway bridge That looks just awesome from below. It is a little bit tricky to get down, but it's totally worth it. 

There is a river under the bridge, the place is cool and tranquil. Super stunning nature, never crowded. Perfect for a picnic and a swim.

Tip: make sure to get back on the highway before darkness.
One more tip: bring your water and snacks with you.

A great drive along from Da Nang (it&#39;s possible to continue along to Hue of course). Unfortunately it seems the beaches are still closed but it&#39;s still nice to have a coffee at the top.Downsides are it seems all the store owners will pester you and are either overly friendly or stone-faced towards you (either the same women sometimes).Also: wasn&#39;t sure where to review this, Avoid the location Google Maps calls Hai Văn Park! It&#39;s got good reviews for some reason but it&#39;s pointless. I think it&#39;s supposed to be a water park or swimming area but there&#39;s nothing to it. It&#39;s not really associated with the pass but it&#39;s close enough you may be curious.

Phu Bai Travel Guide

Winding roads and heart-stopping U-turns, intimidating cliffs and single-lane loops. These are what you'll experience riding up and down the legendary Hai Van Pass. 

The Hai Van Pass is a dragon-shaped 21km stretch of road through the mountains, connecting Da Nang to Lang Co. It takes travellers through the Annamite Range that protrudes into the sea. Throughout the 1-hour ride, there is no shortage of stunning views of the surrounding mountains and coastline. 

From central Da Nang, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the start of Hai Van Pass. Expect a long but scenic ride before you reach Deo Hai Van, a beautiful, old fortress/tower. Unfortunately as of Jan 2023 it is still under conservation work. If you have the time, continue on and you'll reach Lang Co, a town famous for fresh seafood. Expect corners with a steep drop down and lots of thrilling sharp turns - perfect for daredevils. 

Tips for conquering the Hai Van Pass:
1. Do NOT attempt if you have no motorcycling experience/confidence. Hire a private driver.
2. Always slow down when approaching sharp corners and blind spots. 
3. Stay alert for hazards such as roadworks and sand. 
4. Wear a sunglass or riding goggles. 

Address: Highway 1 between Thua Thien - Hue province and Danang City

Intro - Don Ca arch bridge is located modestly at the foot of Hai Van pass, surrounded by the green color of wild mountains. Unlike other Hue tourist destinations, this ancient bridge is completely separate from the noisy atmosphere in the city, making anyone who comes here does not want to leave.

Getting There - Don Ca arch bridge is located on the Hai Van railway line, which is the natural boundary between Da Nang and Hue. Without the hustle and bustle of people, the ancient bridge, over a century old, is embraced by the green of the mountains and forests, making the space more peaceful and quiet. Although located next to the ruins of Don Ca and Bac Hai Van station, this place is less known because of the difficult road and difficult location to find.

Hoi An is a small charming town nearby Danang city. The main action there starts after sunset. Hoi An is famous for traditional silk lanterns that local lit at night. There are so many of the lights everywhere. The entire embankment, all the restaurants, every single boat is decorated with the lanterns... it feels like in a fairytale! 

I took a boat ride after sunset, then went for a dinner at a place with a beautiful terrace, and then grabbed a drink while staring at the Riverside and watched all the lanterns in the boats.

Hoi An is a perfect place to buy souvenirs, try local food at the night market, and enjoy elegant atmosphere of this pretty town.

Tip: you can easily get to Hoi An from Danang by bus, taxi or scooter. Just keep in mind that buses stop running around 6 PM or so.

I love local tiny spots that cater just a few options and rarely see any tourists. I found this place in My An, Danang - thanks to my local friend. 

Đặc Sản Mì Quảng has just a few options, but then has something for everyone - soup with meat, shrimp, fish, eggs. The place is very local and very quiet. And the food is very delicious!

This is my favorite place in Danang for when I don't feel like going out and just want to grab something delicious and quick.

Bakeries and sweets are difficult things in Asia. Unfortunately, in Asian countries, cakes and pastries often looks so good like really really good but at the same time they taste like nothing. 

That's why I was extremely happy to stumble upon Bread & Butter Bakery in Da Nang, Vietnam. Same as everywhere in Asia their pastries look real nice but a pleasant surprise was that they also taste nice! They were not too sweet, they don't taste like paper, they not mushy, they are just pretty damn good! 

Coffee is average, nothing groundbreaking here, but my cappuccino went nicely to help wash down the absolutely delicious pistachio roll.

The space itself is very nice, the staff is friendly, some tables are sort of lounge area with comfy sofa-like seats.

Show of Fire and Water at Dragon Bridge - is a cute thing to do while in Danang. 

Dragon bridge is decorated in the shape of... a dragon. And every weekend there's a show when dragon spits fire and afterwards water. 

First will be fire, then water. Many people splash happily, however, if you're not planning on getting wet, then don't stay too close to the dragon's head and check out where the wind blows.

The show last for 10 minutes and they stop the traffic at the bridge. Locals come on scooters and just park them along sidewalks on the bridge.

The best place to watch it is actually at the bridge, close to the dragon's head, not a boat, not a park nearby, not an embankment.

Xuyên Sushi - Đà Nẵng is located nearby Dragon bridge what makes it a great choice if you wanna go check out the show of fire and water afterwards. 

My waitress did not speak a word in English and that made experience more authentic. Though, the menu has an English translation and, well, that made the experience more comfortable that

The menu is very impressive, I don't even know how many pages it has Mostly it's combos, and they're pretty huge so don't come alone.

The food is good. The service is fast. The stuff is very friendly. I stayed there for a couple of hours and I was the only foreigner.

#oktoberfest #100WaysOfTravel

When you read about Bana Hills, you will seldom come across the Bana Hills Beer Factory. This is a huge plaza with large beer barrels and they even have a beer tour for all interested guests. You only can take the cable car to reach the Beer Plaza area and it is free entry to all guests. Over here, you learn how beer is being made using the various ingredients and the guide here speak English. The best time to come to Beer Plaza is from April to August which is their summer season to enjoy food and beer festival. I was there in September and this period from September to October is their Autumn festive and also Oktoberfest with a great selection of German beer.

You can buy beer coupons and join in the fun to taste all the beers at Bana Hills Beer Plaza. It is Oktoberfest every day here because of its uniqueness in this European village. It is a theme park in Da Nang up in the mountains and you can only come here by cable car. They have different seasonal activities here and it is a permanent restaurant serving food and beer here at Bana Hills. During Oktoberfest, you can see more tables are setup in the outdoor and even concert stages too. It is a exact replication of the festival and many grilled meat and German pork knuckles are being served too. Over here they even have a Kellner mascot dressed up in pig costume. These are the German beer ladies who are capable to carry many beer at one time.
