If the capital Hanoi - the heart of the whole country, where the quintessence of the nation is preserved, is famous for its beautiful landscapes and famous dishes, then the coastal city of Da Nang is attractive with many famous landscapes such as: Ngu Hanh Son, Cu Lao Cham Island, My Khe beach, Linh Ung pagoda, Han river, Love bridge... and many entertainment areas such as Ba Na Hill, Asia park...
Da Nang is one of the 20 cleanest cities in the world, in the top 10 most worth-visiting cities, has the only cable car that has achieved 4 Guinness records, owns charming beaches, has a modern airport, has the only rotating bridge in Vietnam... and gathers the most luxurious resort villas.
Different from Hanoi and Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City has its own beauty, a place where Eastern and Western cultures and cultures of the regions of the country intersect.
The most populous city in Vietnam is also a major transport hub connecting provinces in the region and an international gateway to the region. Here, skyscrapers, modern urban areas, and designed landscapes create unique features.
