What's interesting about winter in Da Nang?

“Discovering Da Nang in winter, I thought I wouldn’t like it but I actually liked it.” On her personal page, the post by Ms. Thu Trang, a tourist from Hanoi, received a lot of attention and interactions from her friends who love to travel.

Favorite winter destination

Winter in Da Nang is only a little chilly and there is little rain. Therefore, according to Ms. Trang, traveling around the city these days, everything is really suitable and pleasant. The streets, shops, and tourist attractions are not too crowded, it is easy to find a hotel with a nice view at a cheaper price than in the peak season.

“Sightseeing spots like Hai Van Pass or Son Tra Peninsula in this season are also very poetic, gentle, with open spaces to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery,” Ms. Trang said about her experience in Da Nang.

Sharing the same feeling, Mr. Quang Trieu, a tour guide from Dong Nai commented: "Visitors coming to Da Nang in winter will have the most authentic feeling about the most livable city in Vietnam.

Immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere, the daily life of the people, take a walk along the windy riverbank, or simply visit the museum, find a quiet seat under the warm yellow light, listen to history "chatter"... Each person will have their own corner to deeply experience the unique culture of the Central city.

The world's leading travel magazine Time Out has also ranked Vietnam among the 20 best destinations for winter travel, where there is warm sunshine from October to February next year. Among them, Hoi An (Da Nang) leads the list of best long-distance winter destinations thanks to the combination of cost savings, ideal weather and diverse experiences.

The sea calls on a rainy day

The beach is often the main reason tourists choose Da Nang as a destination, but many people are afraid that the cold and rainy winter will hinder their fun activities. In fact, Da Nang beach always has its own charm, regardless of the season.

Mr. Eoin Kinsella, manager of Outdoor Adventures LLC in Da Nang, said: “My Khe Beach always attracts foreign tourists to surf every winter thanks to favorable weather and wave conditions, with the sea water temperature always kept above 200C. Many winter days are still sunny and warm, the climate is mild, creating ideal conditions for visitors to experience and have fun on the beach.”

These days, at Simple Beach Tien Sa, a bar nestled on Tien Sa beach, at the foot of Son Tra mountain, transparent tarpaulins are set up like glass cages, shielding visitors from the light rain. Inside, the atmosphere is still warm and bustling, with people gathering around cocktails, music and conversations.

Simple Beach Tien Sa is also a destination for those who love sea sports. A new activity being tested here is the Flyboard show - an extreme sport that uses water jets to fly and somersault in the air. The show is carefully invested and is expected to create a new attraction for tourism in the city in the near future.

The attraction of cuisine

Da Nang cuisine is a highlight every winter. Coming here, visitors can enjoy grilled seafood, hot pot, fish noodle soup, jumping shrimp pancakes..., dishes all year round but much more delicious in the cold weather.

In particular, local restaurants and eateries attract customers by telling seasonal culinary stories, focusing on local ingredients, bringing freshness, distinctive flavors and authentic experiences.

Hot pot dishes, soups, and hot porridge are made from the abundant seafood resources of Da Nang sea, accompanied by spices of ginger, lemongrass, and bitter herbs, both warming the hearts of diners and clearly depicting the culinary culture of the Central region.

Ms. Yuki Tanaka from Japan just had a very interesting experience at a wood-fired Quang noodle restaurant (on Ho Nghinh Street, Da Nang): “The restaurant space gives me a cozy, close feeling, light smoke mixed with the smell of charcoal on a rainy day. A bowl of Quang noodles with broth soaked in spices, fresh vegetables. It turns out that Quang noodles - a culinary specialty of Da Nang, is so attractive to eat in winter”.

Da Nang in winter brings a poetic and vivid picture that makes anyone want to experience it once.
