Da Nang should be high on the list of places to visit in Southeast Asia, says Channel News Asia.
The Singaporean pay TV channel has included the Vietnamese city in a
list of five under the radar destinations in south and southeast Asian
regions.
It says that in Vietnam, the spotlight is mostly trained on the
country’s two biggest metropolises - Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, but Da
Nang, home to Asia’s most beautiful My Khe Beach and neighbor to Hoi An,
the ancient town, has plenty to offer.
Intrepid travelers can climb up the famous Marble Mountains,
a group of five marble and limestone mountains, to discover “hidden
caves, tunnels and Buddhist shrines galore,” it recommends.
The central Vietnamese city has gained greater prominence since its Golden Bridge opened in June this year.

The visually stunning bridge has been featured in CNN’s best travel photographs of the year, the news channel notes.
Once a sleepy fishing town, Da Nang is now a formidable tourism
destination, gaining renown for its long beaches and upscale resorts.
The city received more than five million visitors in the first seven
months of this year, up 30 percent over the same period last year,
according to the Da Nang tourism department.
Travel magazine Live and Invest Overseas, “the world's savviest
source for top opportunities to live better, retire in style, invest
for profit, do business,” voted Da Nang among world’s most livable
cities earlier this year.
The site also recommends tourists to go on a safari in Colombo, Sri
Lanka, swim in a volcanic lake in Indonesia’s Medan, go glamping in
India’s Visakhapatnam and visit an island of silk-weavers in Phnom Penh,
Cambodia.
