TarunI visited Vietnam at the time of New Year in 2022. I started from Danang and ended my trip in Hanoi. I have mentioned all the places which I covered, you can refer the table of content below. If you want to know how was the flow of my days – refer to my Trip Path first and then start the other section
Things to do in Danang
1. Dragon Bridge
The dragon spits fire every weekend for 5 mins on Saturday and Sunday(the time is 9:00 PM). So whenever you plan, make sure it’s a weekend
Entry fees: Free
2. Marble Mountains
It’s small hike which is doable by anyone
Entry fees: 1.6$ (40,000 VND)
Best Time: Try to go early is the morning so you don’t get lot of crowd
3. Golden Brigde / Bana Hills
You shouldn’t miss this. The park is super huge, it’s an architectural marvel. Also you’ll experience the largest cable car of the world. Make sure when you buy the tickets – buy the ticket with buffet. You will never see such a huge buffet in life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a vegetarian or non vegetarian, you’ll find enough option for both. I have not been to Disney land but you can compare it to something similar
Fact: The Golden Bridge has the world’s longest cable car 5,801 meters (19,032 ft) long, making it the world’s longest non-stop single track cable car
Entry Fees: 32$ (750,000 VND) for adults, $45 (1,050,000 VND) for adults including buffet. I’ll recommend the $45 ticket as the buffet is amazing
4. New Oriental Club for Parties
The party vibe in Danang is really good. We asked a lot of locals and party at the New Oriental Club is one of the best
