14 Nights Hong Kong to Singapore

Da Nang, known under the French as Tourane, succeeded Hoi An as the most important port in central Vietnam during the 19th century. Today Vietnam's fourth largest city, Da Nang's distance from other centers of power, its natural endowments, and its high degree of provincial autonomy allows for considerable local initiative. Of late the city has become a leader in implementing economic reforms and has shown itself eager to demonstrate the sort of dynamism and economic pragmatism likely to attract foreign investment. Among Da Nang area sites of interest to visitors are the Marble Mountains, China Beach and the ancient port town of Hoi An.
