Overview
Da Nang and Hoi An are treated as a pair — the modern beach city and the ancient lantern-lit town sit just 30 km apart. Da Nang offers long sandy beaches, the famous Golden Bridge, and the Marble Mountains. Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with beautifully preserved architecture, legendary tailors, and a magical atmosphere at night when hundreds of lanterns light the Thu Bon River. Most backpackers base themselves in Hoi An and day-trip to Da Nang.
