So, who has gone and LOVED it? Did you cry when you had to leave? I cried when I had to leave Hong Kong and Singapore.

No. Phan Thiet. You'll enjoy the town and Mui Ne.

It was cool to see. A big Vietnamese city without as much tourism. Unfortunately it rained for the few days I was there and I was sick. I would have liked to see more, but nothing really held me.

My boyfriend and I stayed there, and actually left a day early to go back to HoiAn. Danang was fun city to ride around on a scooter for a day. The beach was pretty, but I found it quite windy compared to Hoi An beach. It's not really a bumping tourist place...so we kind of got bored after one day. If you want my advice...plan to go there one day, ride a scooter go see Marble Mountain, eat on the beach and then move onto somewhere else. I got a way more chill I don't want to leave this place vibe when I was in Hoi An. Plus from Hoi An you can catch a tourist bus for a couple bucks that will take you out to the My Son Cham ruins which are a must see.

Danang airport seems to be staffed by scuzzy types. Hoi An is the better alternative.

It didn't float my boat. An afternoon was enough. China Beach is decent enough but there's not much there.

Go to Hoi An, a pretty little village with lots of art and silk tailoring, or Hue, with its antique buildings and fortress, or Nha Trang, for a chill beach town.

I hate to be a hater, but Hoi An has turned into a tourist ghetto. I really don't see the big deal.

If there isn't much in Da Nang, that's fine by me...a non-touristy place where all I do is go from the beach to the pool, from the pool to the beach for 14+ days is all I want and need. Two of my former coworkers went and liked it and basically, this is all they did.
