An Thuong, Da Nang's expat and tourist neighborhood near My Khe Beach, is undergoing rapid transformation with new construction, bars, restaurants, and cafes appearing constantly. A walk through An Thuong 5 and surrounding streets reveals demolished villas, new apartment buildings like Hero Apartment, and ongoing projects including a massive hotel near Cong Caphe. The area features diverse dining options such as authentic Italian food at Are You restaurant, Brazilian barbecue for 550,000 dong (about $20) all-you-can-eat, and cheap beer at Taxua for 50 cents. New establishments include Scallywags sports bar, Embassy Irish sports bar, and Taps Cafe with board games and laundry service. The weather in late October 2025 is mixed with occasional rain, and the creator notes that this time of year is a gamble for beach vacations due to rough seas and potential storms, though a recent typhoon weakened to drizzle. Construction is expected to continue through 2026, with many projects likely completed by next summer's high season.
