다낭

Been in Da Nang for almost a month now, and I’ve got mixed feelings. Some great stuff, but also some annoyances. The good: Super cheap: rent, food, transport, all very affordable.

Walking around is a pain: crazy traffic, construction everywhere, sidewalks barely exist. Still developing: constant noise, random power cuts, broken ATMs, kind of a mess in some area

Da nang is a nice place, but I would still give only 3 stars out of 5. Whether you like it depends on your taste. Vietnam is super cheap, with local food for a dollar and affordable restaurants.

Ants can be an issue, so avoid low floors when booking a place. Overall, it's good for young backpackers on a budget, but if you want a very friendly environment, consider other places.
