Da Nang, Vietnam, is more than a beach destination. This travel vlog explores the city's local neighborhoods, culture, and everyday life beyond the tourist resorts. The creator arrives at Da Nang Airport, checks into a $25/night hotel near My Khe Beach, and samples a salty coffee and a banh mi from a street vendor for under a dollar. He walks along My Khe Beach, noting its length and proximity to Son Tra Peninsula's rainforest. Crossing the Han River, he visits the residential neighborhood of Hoa Khue, a former resistance hub during the war, and explores a local market with tailors and gold shops.
