few years back
before covid even happened

that time, i already can see koreans everywhere no matter where i go

the lotte mart in da nang also existed way before HCM even got their 1st lotte mart which initially i felt weird why is there a lotte mart in da nang but not in hanoi/HCM, turn out there's a lot of south koreans there

Ba Na Hills worth it?

for someone who've been there...YES

and it doesn't matter the weather is bad or good
i went there during very bad weather, heavy fog but still has a great time and experiment although alot of things can't see...it's the experience
i'm pretty sure that place is gonna be awesome when the weather is clear and sunny

if the weather is bad that day...just bring a raincoat, put it on and go have fun

I'm a bit 50/50 to visit an amusement park during my trip.
I heard that the cable car alone might still be worth a visit—it’s one of the longest in the world and offers stunning views of the mountains.

yup...longest in asia if not wrong...it's a very long cable car ride going up

Longest should be at China, Tianmen Mountain. Whole Journey need 35 minute.
Vietnam are biggest, Steepest and longest between two cable pole tower.
Biggest at Halong Bay
Steepest at Fansipan
Longest suspend on cable between two cable Tower Pole was at Phu Quoc Sunworld ...One Tower at Dua island, Another one Tower at Roi Island

My opinion is...hoi an still many korean tourist. I didnt spend time in da nang, so cant compare.

Tourist restaurant will have korean and english. LOL

hoi an will have many tourist, that place if u ask me is a must visit...that place is beautiful especially at night

but that also meant a lot of tourist trap(lately)...not back when i went to hoi an many years ago

Looking forward to explore Hoi An!

hi, vietnam is still using cash? malaysia ewallet can use there or credit card?

Cash

Hello everyone, is July okay to visit danang? Thanks.

These days have multiple AI to answer your question.

I'm also heading there in November. Thanks for reminding me... I used 3 AIs to check the weather.... LoL!

Have fun and be safe

Planning to go Da Nang, first time to Vietnam. I heard somewhere that TnG can be used, if bringing cash~ roughly how much cash do i need to bring? if it's just for Leisure, meal & Transport exclude shopping.

One Pax approx. Rm100 / 600k Dong Per day..Including Meal , Coffee Break and Transport.
Danang aka little Seoul. A City full of Korean food and Korean word. It will make you confuse, are you in Vietnam or S.Korea.

How's our telcom roaming at Da Nang and the suburb/rural area. Do i need to get Vietnam eSim or physical sim?
I saw Grab is available there, will the currency automatic change to vietnam or i need to topup and manual exchange? how's the rate? Sorry i never try using Grab on foreign country.

The money you have in your grabpay is only for use in malaysia. In overseas, just link the transaction to your debit / credit card. Just pay as you go.

Just read that Grap Pay/E-Wallet features is not applicable in Vietnam, I guess i'll just bring cash instead. Rm100/day/pax that's it. + CC, Wonder should i get a Wise Card? Which one is recommended? How's Bigpay now?

anyone has any recommended tour agency contact to share? not looking for premium tour tho.

what do u mean by "premium tour"?
