3-Day Self-Guided Trip in Da Nang

As part of my Vietnam travel series, I’m excited to take you on a journey through my 3-day adventure in Da Nang. To make the most of my trip, I rented a motorbike, giving me the freedom to explore stunning destinations at my own pace and capture breathtaking photos along the way. Come along as I uncover the beauty of Da Nang in just three days!

Day 1:

1. Donald Trung Da Nang.

Address: https://goo.gl/maps/LmH2H54XsDxv725u6

The restaurant has many specialties of Da Nang such as rice paper rolls with pork, wet rice paper, vermicelli with fish sauce, banh loc, banh nam, etc.

The restaurant boasts a spacious, clean, and refreshingly cool ambiance, providing a comfortable dining experience.

This is a full photo of the restaurant's dishes. I took the photo from the restaurant's FB homepage . The food is extremely clean and delicious, the staff is enthusiastic. Definitely come and try the restaurant 😀

Man Thai Beach: https://goo.gl/maps/LPKitbh5S2JGf2CS8

These are the two largest beaches in Da Nang, located quite close to each other. Man Thai Beach, in particular, offers paddle boat rentals, making it a great spot for a serene adventure. The best time to go paddling is between 5-7 AM, when the sun is just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden glow without the intense heat.

4. Mooniva River Club.

Address: https://goo.gl/maps/XQijZiQQ46RZ57ok8

The restaurant sits beside the scenic Han River, featuring a spacious and inviting outdoor area.

The food is delicious and offers a great variety, but the waiting time can be a bit long.

The restaurant features a uniquely designed cone-shaped canopy over its dining tables, adding a distinctive touch to the ambiance.

The best time to visit the restaurant is around 6 PM, as it starts getting quite crowded from 7 PM due to the live acoustic music performances.

Arriving early gives you plenty of time to snap some great photos and check in virtually :v

Especially in July each year, the city hosts the spectacular International Fireworks Festival, making it an even more exciting time to visit.
