Must Know Vietnam Travel Tips to Danang & Hoi An | Vietnam Series Ep. 1

Vietnam Da Nang and Hoi An Travel Guide and Travel Tips that you must know before you go. This Vietnam Travel Guide is part of my Vietnam series and we start episode 1 with things you need to know before you go to Danang as well as things you need to know before you go to Hoi An Vietnam. Da Nang Beach and the Danang Beach resorts are popular destinations and I will help you navigate through the city and give you my favorite tips and tricks. My Da Nang travel tips are based on what I wish I knew before coming to Da Nang Vietnam as well as Hoi An Vietnam. There are many things to do in Da Nang but I wanted to focus on the differences of each area, what each specific area offers and general things you must know when coming to danang for the first time. In fact, Da nang is the fifth largest city in Vietnam and located central part of the country. IT is locate don the cost of the South China Sea and is one of the most important ports in Vietnam.
There are more seafood restaurants options by the Da Nang beach area, like the ones where you get to pick out the live seafood from tanks or buckets and then staff will weigh it out in front of you. I personally enjoy this process andI think it’s more reasonably priced. So if you’re like me, this beachside may be your best choice
This Da Nang Vietnam Guide is the first episode of my Vietnam series. I will be covering Da Nang Vietnamese Street Food, Luxury Hotel and Beach Resorts, Vietnamese Airlines and much more.

One of the cleanest beach I've ever been to in my life

[@zhubajie6940]

Hoi An was the best part of my trip to Vietnam. I wish I had more time also in Danang Cham Museum but we got slowed having to dicker with Viet Air breaking my luggage. I got to see the Ao Show at the Saigon Opera House. Spectacular. Hoi An also had music, dancers, local pottery works, and more culture with temples of the various merchant guilds that you can shake a stick at.

[@RionIshida]

Nice video! I love it!! I’ve never been to Vietnam, but I wanna visit there one day!! Thanks Paolo👍

[@AnNguyen-kn6hz]

I come from Da Nang, Vietnam but now I live in Europe. This vid reminds me a lot about my hometown. Kinda miss it so much. The food, coffee, people, beach,...

[@vanphan9318]

@Kim Jong-un 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏

[@michellesimon2016]

Am thinking of a trip to Danang in January during chineses new year. Just wondering if ahops ans reatos are closed during this time.

[@TheVinceVoice]

We loved Da Nang... and I second your recommendation on Hoi An... definitely would spend more time there next time. Sun World Ba Na Hills theme park can be a fun day trip too.

[@dacsanlamqua]

you guy want to book the cheapest hotel price should know Itriip, verry famour for local people here!

[@michaelhughes3273]

Been to Thailand so many times because of my Wife's family, so Vietnam is pretty close. The population is most dense (95million+). Da Nang is been building up for the last 40-45 years since the end of the Vietnam war much like Cambodia and Laos. You were there for the low season, so not as crowded. Nice video, thanx, bro.

[@jadecummings8093]

Hey, Paolo! Welcome to Vietnam, hope you have a good time there exploring and learning new cultures.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks as always Jade Cummings!

[@kimanhtran2500]

@JASON SAUNDERS shut the fuck up. YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHINGS ! You just sit in your little house and say some things that you don't even know is it true or not 🤭

[@theoargy8428]

Vietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world. That’s probably why they have a strong cafe culture. They have a famous Vietnamese Egg Coffee. Their iced coffee is great too.

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

That and they were ruled by the french for a while just before the Vietnam war so some of the Frenchy culture has rubbed off on them. :-)

[@Lol-ok9kl]

Theo Argy Coffee shops in Vietnam sell all sorts of drink not just coffee

[@plasticman2k]

You gotta thank your French colonist for the cafe culture bud :)

[@Lol-ok9kl]

plasticman2k that’s crazy. Who should we thank for the milk tea culture these days? Not all Vietnamese even drink coffee. Cafes are popular in Vietnam because they sell a lot of drinks, not just coffee, cafe is just the name of the shop

[@Gypsynyc10]

I have always told people THE best coffee I hv ever tasted was in Vietnam !

[@clybee8328]

Such a well thought and put together video! Thank you so much. God bless you!

[@ngahang8141]

Yesss! I'm really happy that you came to Vietnam to visit!😊👍

[@theoargy8428]

Great video Paolo. Good quality information. Very well presented. Excellent.

[@kiaorion4203]

this was super helpful! thank you Paolo!!

[@ericnguyen6953]

I'm from California and I'm living here in Da Nang with my wife and family ... It's a great place to live except for the moistures in the air and heat ... I've made lots of money living in Da Nang, that I bought and built a home for my wife's mom ... The home is very up to date and has three bedrooms and three baths .... I myself have three homes and numerous open lands .... This is something I'd never afford living in USA !!!

[@kennethhurst6296]

The United States is expensive, so it's difficult to save and invest in anything meaningful. Places like vietnam offer opportunities for small investors since its an untapped market.

[@ericnguyen6953]

@@kennethhurst6296 Yes, Im taking full advantages of the prosperities and opportunities ..

[@kennethhurst6296]

@Eric..I wish you success in all your business endeavors! I hope to teach in Vietnam by the middle of 2020. I heard that many foreign teachers gravitate to HCM & Hanoi. What are some of the things you most like about Da Nang?

[@botruong4102]

The empty perrel is the perrel that is making alots of noises.

[@rocelchavez2181]

Woooooo! Been there last January! Enjoy!

[@christinatran3354]

How was it? I am Vietnamese and I am curious. Danang is safer than Ho Chi Minh city right?

[@rocelchavez2181]

Phuong Tran My husband and I had fun..yes alot safer and quieter than HCM. Went to Hoi An and Bana Hills as well. Every place we went was just wonderful! :)

[@ailopvietnam88888]

I wanna go da nang next year this is nice

[@jennabrown9713]

I hope you are going to Ha Long Bay! I also recommend Vietnamese BBQ especially bread with condensed milk, and definitely check out Vietnam's temples. Many of them are just as beautiful as Japans but without the frenzy of tourists.

[@mxdongstergarage4298]

Cafe culture in Da Nang is way different, its like a daily routine to go sit down, drink coffee, smoke a cig and have a nice conversation.

[@KinhThuc]

My hometown, i love Da Nang

[@ken787m7]

Love your vids! Soooo funny you mentioned Frogger and I wonder how many people got that!

[@travelexploreasia9576]

Yo Paolo my man, I definitely will have say thank you for speaking about the drone situation in Vietnam bro,😲😭 because I am moving🛫 to Vietnam/Đà Nẵng from🌞 California in a few day's, pretty much as of 3-7-2019 I will be another expat living in Việt Nam, but seriously I already have my drone packed in my carry on to take to Việt Nam 🇻🇳 and after hearing what you said I now have to unpack it😔 I am deeply in shock right now, but I love Đà Nẵng and everything about it, plus I've been there a few times already and Đà Nẵng / Hỏi an etc. are just awesome. Here are few of my suggestions Bana Hills... Asia park... Sơn Trà mountains... Lady Buddha.... Madame Lần restuarant... Karma Waters vegan... Veda's Indian restaurant...

[@MrsTeenagewiccan]

Vietnam has always been my dream travel spot. Everything about it just seems so awesome and exciting to me . I can’t wait for more Vietnam videos ! especially the food I could eat Vietnamese food daily ! I already eat it like twice a week 😅😅😅Japan being the second for me. Also are you feeling okay? In the first few clips before the info part of the video started you sounded almost like you were loosing your voice ? 💖 did you go to Ho Chi Minh city?ive seen some videos from other not so touristy cities and the food and hotel are even cheaper !

[@Nezuko_1]

Same, I speak Vietnamese and i always want to go there!! But when the COVID is over and when my sis is 18 we’re gonna go to Vietnam and Japan and other countries but we’re mostly staying at Vietnam.

[@SonPhan-tq4np]

I have lived in Da Nang since 1999. Da Nang is one of the best cities to visit in Vietnam
