My hometown is Da Nang. It is one of the biggest cities in Central of Viet Nam. Da Nang has a long coast with many natural gold sand beaches where you can swim and sunbathe all the year round. If you are interested in natural beauty like mountain climbing, you should go to Ngu Hanh Son. There is a long range of five mountains with many magnificent caves. It is also famous for natural marbles which are used for making jewellery, ornaments and statues. Visitors can stay in comfortable hotels and guest houses. The food is so various that it can satisfy every taste. Special dishes off three regions - the North, the Central and the South - are served in famous restaurants in the city. People can get to Da Nang by plane, train, coach and taxi at any time. I am sure you will enjoy your trip in my hometown.
