DA NANG First Impressions: CHICLAND Beach HOTEL Vietnam 🇻🇳

From Hoi An I drive to Da Nang and give my first impressions as I check into the Chicland Da Nang Beach Hotel, tour the room and take a beachwalk here in Vietnam 🇻🇳. I meet a new friend and walk to the river, working up an appetite I satisfy with some fresh seafood at Moc Quan restaurant.

Thank you for this excellent walk! It brought back many memories of when I was in the US Army stationed in Da Nang from January, 1970, through April, 1971. My unit compound was right on that beach - I recognize the hills in the distance, a view I woke up to every morning. It has certainly changed - for the better!!! - since a military compound was there. Da Nang has vastly changed from what the city looked like when I was there. It has been wonderful seeing it as it is today, Again, many thanks!

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thank you Bruce for the kind words and most of all Thank You for Your Service!!

[@suongtranthi1655]

More than 55 years ago, at that time I was not born, now you still remember the old memories but it has changed in infrastructure and construction in the past 10 years, but Son Tra mountain and beautiful beach are still there. long live

@@BarefootVlogger Hi Terry! Seafood looked interesting and the service was nice!

[@kevinowen7388]

Da Nang so clean and beautiful ❤ Peaceful atmosphere 👌

[@teresawilson110]

Omg I want to move to Da Nang now !!!!! Awesome video !!!

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thanks Teresa, it is an awesome place

[@user-il3km5sx4p]

The beaches in America is hard to find a place to sit and chill and expensive so enjoy while you in vn dude

[@daphuc502]

the beaches in Vietnam are pretty much empty from 8am to 3-4pm they are usually jam packed early in the morning and in the late afternoon though . Vietnamese dont go to the beach when the sun is up high , which is the complete opposite of westerners lol.

[@Seoirse-pn5uu]

Il be there in da nang next week. Looking forward. .

[@BarefootVlogger]

Safe travels and enjoy your time!

[@allancompton6912]

Really enjoyed the Avengers of Da NANG ! The Beaches or very nice Barefoot . And the people or friendly. The seafood looked interesting! ❤😊

[@vy311]

You can only find North Koreans in the North Korean embassy in VN. South Koreans account for about 50% of the number of foreign tourists in Danang. The other groups come from Japan, Taiwan and more recently, from India, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. If you walk around Han market, you can see a lot of signs in Korean. There are very few Russians visitors to Danang. There are more of them in Nha Trang.

[@BarefootVlogger]

You're right. I wasn't speaking from experience (only from what I'd heard and was expecting as this video was literally my first hour on arrival in Da Nang). Apparently most Russian tourists visit Nha Trang well to the South.

[@ocmanga5685]

Ở Đà Nẵng hình như không có, nhưng ở Hà Nội thì có cả một cộng đồng người triều tiên đó bạn.

[@eduardochavacano]

This beach in a city looks better than any beach in a city in Philippines. Nha Trang also looks so great. I have yet to visit Danang.

[@davesivirn2283]

Da Nang is such an amazing city. The diversity is amazing. My only fear is that it will end up over gentrified by wealthy ex-pats ect. But it is destined to by the template for modern Vietnam.

[@hildestramowski9370]

Wow Terry wow How awesome to experience those beaches & that seafood place! That hotel beautiful! I wish I could eat there!@ the seafood place! How fun to experience this w you showing us! Looks like fun Seeing the culture of Vietnam & experience the Seafood! Wow wow wow I love it ! Thank you Terry🥰😊

It was a good accident SF lol. But lobster, like a good steak needs nothing but a little butter. Thanks my friend

[@Jasonk1979]

T, continuing to seize the moment! Tim reminded me a bit of Steve Buscemi. Awesome stuff as always. Heading into Pompano in a couple of days, we'll be sure to say hello if we see you in our travels!

[@BarefootVlogger]

So funny Jas, I'm editing the vlog and saying to myself why didn't I tell Tim he reminded me of Steve Buscemi.😄

[@franbrinda]

I kinda like traveling alone. A great feeling of independence and self accountability. I learned there is no such thing as being lost. I mean unless your out to sea or in the jungle lost.

I want to go just for the food.

[@BarefootVlogger]

That white thing you saw on the beach at 11:13 is a cuttlefish bone. Another good one Barefoot 👍 Haven't watched the full video yet but I like. Wow that sea food looked delicious.

@@BarefootVlogger I stumbled upon your channel. And I must say I like your style. Long videos. Immersive. Very little editing and staging. No music. It's authentic. I feel what it's like there through your videos. I'm going to Vietnam for the first time in 2 months and I'm looking forward to it and now know what to expect. Thanks!!!!!!!! Can you reply to my comment?

@@design6282 Thanks Sandro that's so kind and very helpful for me. I've learned a lot since starting this journey and hope to continue improving. You will love Vietnam. It's an incredible experience you will always remember. Take it all in, don't feel rushed or overwhelmed. Meet and engage with friendly locals and by all means try the different food offerings. Have fun and safe travels!

[@docere1453]

Researching danang for potential vaca spot and your video popped up, well edited and great commentary. We’re birds of a feather. When I meet people and curious to know where they’re from I ask “American?” So I don’t insult a Pakistani as Indian or a Taiwanese as Chinese. When they correct me I get my info. The fact that you’re curious and caring to know where people are from makes us kindred spirits. Safe travels and stay awesome.

[@BarefootVlogger]

Thanks Docere that's a good tip when meeting people my friend

[@bryonedwards6071]

Love your video,,, We were there in Feb,, Stayed at Mandila Hotel,, which looks like it was right next door,, walked from the Hotel the other end to Paradise Restaurant, and back again Amazing beach.

Yes you should try Lobsters Mac and Cheese sometime it is very popular..You are a cheese lover....If you do crumble up garlic and parm crotons on the top ...Da Nang look like a great place to visit. to bad it is so far away for Americans

[@larry-jl4lo]

Nice

[@waynepolowek1905]

Nice to see beaches that are not covered in seaweed

[@laurachandler]

Why was there a sign that said no swimming? Is it because the water is rough, or is it forbidden all the time?

[@BarefootVlogger]

The sign didn't specify but if I had to guess there's probably a strong undertow and rip tides. The wave action is pretty intense daily.
