Our journey kicks off in Da Nang with a walk along My Khe Beach before driving up Monkey Mountain to the magnificent Linh Ung Pagoda, home to the iconic 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue. Next, we travel to Cam Thanh Coconut Village for a wild bamboo basket boat ride through a lush water coconut forest, where we witness a high-energy spinning performance—one of the most exciting cultural experiences in Vietnam! Finally, we step into the timeless beauty of Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its historic merchant houses. We cross the historic Japanese Covered Bridge, explore the colorful Phuc Kien Assembly Hall, and visit a local silk factory and ceramics museum. At dusk, we experience the magical Hoi An lantern festival, boarding a traditional boat ride on the Hoai River to release candlelit paper wishes into a glowing sea of lights. ⏱️ Timestamps & Central Vietnam Itinerary 0:00 Welcome to Da Nang & Hoi An, Vietnam!
