A mid-2026 walking tour through An Thuong, Da Nang's popular tourist neighborhood, reveals extensive construction transforming the area. Streets are torn up for sidewalk widening, road improvements, and new hotel and apartment building projects. The construction makes the area dusty, noisy, and difficult to walk, though some parallel streets remain unaffected. The creator notes that while the long-term changes will improve the neighborhood, current conditions are disruptive for residents and visitors. Seasonal tourism appears to be slowing, with business owners reporting lower numbers, but domestic tourism remains strong. The video also shares practical observations about construction quality in Da Nang, including common issues with painting, electrical work, and project delays, advising anyone planning to move into a new apartment to prepare for handover delays. A new higher-end restaurant, Istanbul Gourmet, is opening soon.
