Da Nang is a coastal city an old French Colonial port. We flew in from Hanoi. You can do some treks here. There are places to visit like the Marble Mountain, Monkey mountain etc. My son went snorkeling somewhere. Hội An, the lantern City is very close approx 30km or so.PS: Make a visit to Cambodia as well. It's very cheap (food and accommodation) over there. The only major feature is the Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which will take almost a day. The guide will be there with you for about three hours and leave you to do on your own sight seeing.The Cambodian people are much nicer than the Vietnamese. Rural Cambodia is quite nice. Only the temples seem to be wealthy. You can fly in to Phonm-Penh and fly out from Siem-Reap saving the time on the return trip.We visited a place called Phnom-Kulen, many do not go there and the driver told me that they visit once in a lifetime. It's a holy place and there's a rock temple with a massive reclining stone Buddha - but the Buddha's head rests on the left hand - instead of the usual right. Nearby there's a lovely waterfall with fish that bites your dead skin off. (The same fish that's called Dr Fish or Massage Fish)Note that Cambodia is different to Vietnam although the countries appear similarSadly the Sihanoukville area (sea port) has been ruined by the Chinese mafia. With the Chinese BRI there was an influx of hundreds of thousands of Chinese and the gangs spoilt everything running extortion, prostitution and scamming. The mainland Chimese gangs made their HQ offices in Sihanoukville. Some travel operators just gave it a miss and now the Cambodians have brought back some control.  But the Chinese money also brought in massive construction creating infrastructure.</blockquote>
