So here I am reviewing with new text and new /old photos on my memorable trips to Vietnam. I was there several times, amazing trips and good cheers, new friends and continues. I have written before on Danang but here is a bit more; hope you enjoy the post.
We drove by car from the airport of Chu lai, to Bung Tao , a airy picnic type large place with local service and good food of the area, fish sea and river, and great Tiger beers with a lively table of 10, lots of cheers and happy crowd, the driver was good lol! This one of course will take a good local to take you to it, but here for the memories and good cheers.
At Chu lai airport was just a country airstrip but apparently busy as it is close to the beaches; and of course it was built by the USA… B52 landed here. we flew on VASCO domestic Vietnam Airlines. The best info on it found this webpage https://www.vietnamairlines.travel/chu-lai.flights-in-vietnam.vietnam-airlines
Chu Lai, the capital of the Nui Thanh District, is the perfect gateway to the greater Quang Ngai province in Vietnam’s south-central coast. During the Vietnam War this port town was a military base for the US Marine Corp, acting as a supplemental airfield to their main base in Da Nang.
At Chu Lai, we drove passing by Quang Ngai to Da Nang. Here we had a night stay across the beach at the Hotel Doan 27, 128 Trường Sa street (trade union hotel) nothing fancy ,it houses the army personnel when on manouvers,and then a tourist hotel the rest of the time, basic training, food for breakfast order before hand, and not that great chow; the beach across was great thus,and wonderful views from my room. Here again see the pictures as cannot find a webpage, the locals took me here , to get rid of me hahahaha!!! The best part is that next door there was a small cafe where I tasted the best coffee in Vietnam!!! again just in the corner of the hotel and sideways facing the beach. The best can find on the web is this traveloka webpage: https://www.traveloka.com/en-vn/hotel/vietnam/cong-doan-da-nang-hotel-danang-trade-union-hotel-3000010022539
Well got something, above is photo from hotel to beach!
We did ate here , first at Tea house Viet Nam, very nice clean place we had good soups here,and rices, with green and yellow tea and water, very cheap I was told my friends paid lol! The name escapes me again !!! Then ,we move on to one very special, its a patio with buddha and hills decoration, terrace out and covered, very nice place and service, khong gian xua coffees!! Da Nang was a nice foodie stop.
Here in Da Nang, we went to the airport for our flight to Hanoi, very nice airport at Da Nang, notice this is a big tourist spot in Vietnam, and famous name from previous war. Webpage here: https://www.danangairportonline.com/
There are severail nice hôtels , casinos, and the rotating bridge as well as the famous dragon bridge that spurs fire at night Fridays and Saturdays. And a nice beach across from the hotel!
We drove from Danang to Hanoi. I finally took my flight back to Paris at Hanoi, by midnite, the flight was smooth,and on time. This is a nice size airport spacious and easy to navigate. I was at the VN airlines business lounge so that made it easier me think. Webpage : https://www.hanoiairportonline.com/

This was a road warrior trip and skipping long distance by air on Vietnam Airline. It gave the opportunity to get a quick glance at the country and for future trips better manage the relationships. The best way to mix business and pleasure and see a new country, Vietnam , and a new city Danang. Hope you enjoy the post
And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all!!!
