A January 2026 walking tour through Da Nang's expat neighborhoods reveals a city undergoing rapid transformation. Heavy construction is ubiquitous, with new apartment buildings, hotels, and renovations rising across streets like An Thuong 29 and 35, creating significant noise and dust. The weather is described as ideal, with sunny days and cool evenings, though the best beach weather arrives in March or April. The video documents practical details such as luggage storage available for 50,000 VND ($1.90) per day and notes that prices are negotiable for longer terms.
