Danang , Hue or Hoi an best place for beach?

Question

What place do u prefer for beach, shopping, disco, bars, Danang Hue or Hoi an?

Thanks

Answer 1

I prefer Hue.  Much more like the "real" Vietnam, old world, great culture (has some of the best historical sites in the country) and for some very odd reason is not yet overly toursited (I think the government don't realise just what a goldmine Hue is, but once I've done my tourism degree I can give them a hand, oh yeah).

Danang, hmm just a big concrete city, which doesn't have any real heart.  Things are functional, but that's about it.  Take up that lady's invite and meet with her and her family and then it'll prove much more exciting.

Hoi An, probably has the best of the shopping (clothes and souvenirs especially), lots of restaurants and a few decent bars, plus the beach is only about 2.5kms away.  Also there are some nice historical sites in town and outside as well (gotta visit the Cham towers, and do it early to avoid the noisy crowds).

Don't stay in Hoi An for too long though, coz once you learn more about some of the infighting and bitchiness you'll be glad to leave.  Lots of competition from the tailors for your business, so be aware.

Answer 2

Hue, there is a great beach near the Hai Phong Hill (not sure about the name), but why not consider Nha Trang?

Answer 3

Da Nang is the best place for that

Answer 4

Danang. I'm vietnamese. If u come to Danang u should go to Furama resort!

Answer 5

Danang has China Beach which is very nice.  I still prefer the beach outside of Hue.  It doesn't have many tourists and the food there is fantasic, fresh and cheap.  It is only about a 20 minute ride and the cost is only a few american dollars.

Hue is a great place to relax and see all the ancient sites.  The people are friendly and the food fantastic.  Setting by the Perfume river or floating on it is great experience.

Answer 6

Due to the relatively recent oil spills from undetermined sources, Hoi An and Danang beaches were greatly affected and in spite of local efforts at cleanup....I doubt they are back in their pristine condition.  Hue doesn't have a beach, per se.

Check out the Lang Co resort....they're in the area between Phu Loc and Danang, have a website, and can probably advise you of local conditions.

You can't beat Hue for historical sites....Hoi An for tailors....and Danang is more commercial ie discos, but hightlife is everywhere in these three areas and while they are only about an hour and a half apart off Hwy 1, I wouldn't travel Hwy 1 at night....it's scary enough during the day.

Answer 7

You can stay in Hue for the Site visits ( Citadel, Tombs... ). Take a bike for 30 minutes to access the beach. You will enjoy your time passing the picturesque and calms villages.

Stay in Hoian ( a lot of interesting thing to visit )! Again take a bike for the beach (5km). Don't go to China Beach.

PS: it is too cold from the end of October to March

Answer 8

Da Nang or Hue for beaches->You can't beat the scenery at Lang Co beach or whatever beaches there.Anyway Hoi An is an old town for tourist,but I didn't think u interest in it. So just stick to Hue or Da Nang for beaches
