🇻🇳 Da Nang - Vietnam's Most Underrated Gem!
🌤️ Weather Tips Best time: I visited during Lunar New Year – cool temps (t-shirt + light jacket), festive vibes 🧧 But note: Some shops close until the 4th day of NY, and +4% service fee applies at restaurants. Pro tip: Da Nang is tourist-friendly – plenty of open eateries even during holidays! 🛵 Transport Hacks Grab taxis: ~¥10-15 for 3-4km (pay in VND cash). Cheaper? Rent a motorbike! 🏍️ Ask your hotel (they often rent or know local shops). Bargain hard! Deposit = passport (no copies!). Fuel cost: ~50K VND/day (¥15). 💵 Money Matters NO Alipay/WeChat! Cash is king. ATMs: Use UnionPay cards (Chinese menu available). Withdrawal order: Card → Money (opposite of China!). Rate ≈ gold shops, so just withdraw as needed. Credit cards: Some charge +3% fee – ask first! 🛍️ Shopping Smarts Han Market: HALF the asking price! No guilt – they overquote. Must-buy: Sugar-free mango dried 🥭 (SO good!). GO! Supermarket: Nice for souvenirs, but skip hyped snacks. 🍽️ Food Recs Seafood: Beachfront shacks = freshest & cheapest! Must-try: Bánh xèo (crispy pancake), mì Quảng (turmeric noodles). #VietnamTravel #DaNangGuide #BudgetTravel #BeachLife #SoutheastAsia
