My First Impressions of Da Nang In 2026

The creator returns to Da Nang for the first time since 2024 and shares his updated impressions. He highlights the city's continued growth, with new hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops appearing everywhere. The centerpiece is Da Nang's 30 km beach, primarily My An and My Khe sections, which offer a wide boardwalk popular for walking, jogging, and cycling. In January, waves were too large for swimming (red flag), but surfing was visible. Beach loungers rent for about 40,000 VND (under $2). The weather is comfortable at 24–25°C, marking the start of the dry season. The creator is impressed by the large number of international visitors and the healthy, active vibe. He notes that prices have not increased significantly since 2024 and intends to produce a detailed cost-of-living video. Da Nang is described as a livable city with all amenities, appealing to tourists, digital nomads, and expats.
