Introduction
This is a route you will be impressed by breathtaking view through central Vietnam. The trip covers Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue with hotel in the centre.
Da Nang are a good mix of centuries-old pagodas, French colonial buildings, as well as tranquil beaches with clear blue waters, and verdant national parks. Ba Na is always a sight-seeing where people must come, enjoy 4 seasons (spring, summer, autumn and winter) in only one day, visit Golden Brigde.
Hoi An is basically a living museum that houses old-town architecture. Some of the streets only allow bike and motorbike traffic and some are pedestrian only. These factors make Hoi An even more inviting for most travelers to Vietnam.
