Billionaire Bill Gates has been in Da Nang since March 4. According to a source, he is staying at the 5-star InterContinental Da Nang resort on Son Tra mountain.

This world-class resort was also chosen to host the 2017 Asia- Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Summit.

"Bill Gates' information security is similar to the time he welcomed former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to his vacation," a source said.

Sources said that in recent days, this billionaire has changed his plans and not visited places in Da Nang and Hoi An for privacy reasons.

On March 7, a resident said he saw billionaire Bill Gates going up to Ban Co Peak with many bodyguards on the evening of March 6.

This person said that late in the afternoon of March 6, the walkway to Ban Co peak was blocked. "I asked and found out that it was billionaire Bill Gates. I looked from afar and saw at least 4 bodyguards accompanying him. In addition, there were some people following the group, they did not allow anyone to take pictures" - this person said.

This local said that billionaire Bill Gates sat for quite a while, and the bodyguards were below keeping watch so that the guests would not be disturbed when they went up to the top area. "The group stayed until the city lights came on to enjoy the view, then went down the mountain. Luckily yesterday the weather was very nice and clear so they could see the city from the top, but if it was foggy like today, they wouldn't have been able to see it" - this person said.
