“De havenstad Da Nang, halverwege gelegen tussen Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, bezit een kleinstedelijke charme ondanks de afwezigheid van populaire bezienswaardigheden. Het is gelegen aan een prachtige kustlijn van 30-kilometer (18-mijl) die populair is om zijn watersportmogelijkheden zoals waterskiën, staand peddelen op een surfplank en surfen. Het staat ook bekend om zijn geweldige keuken en een niet te missen, zeer opvallende brug. De plek was voorheen bezet door zowel de Fransen als Amerikanen (dit was de eerste plaats waar Amerikaanse marines in maart 1965 landden), en overblijfselen van beide zijn te zien in de restanten van de Amerikaanse luchtbasis en het ziekenhuis tot de grote boulevards en de oude villa’s van de stad.

Da Nang is ook een perfect startpunt voor dagtochten: naar de pittoreske stad Hoi An in het zuiden, naar de oude keizerlijke hoofdstad Hue in het noorden, of naar de majestueuze Marble Mountains in het zuidwesten. My Son, het door UNESCO beschermde Champa tempelcomplex, dat 69 kilometer (43 mijl) zuidoostelijk ligt, is zeker een uitstapje waard – maar voor wie in de stad wil blijven zijn er de vele ruïnes die in Da Nangs voortreffelijke Museum of Cham Sculpture terecht zijn gekomen en waar u alles te weten kunt komen over de geschiedenis en architectuur van deze fascinerende cultuur.”

As the capital of Vietnam from 1802 to 1945, the imperial city of Hue was home to 13 emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty. Here within the walled Citadel, the royal family lived in the Forbidden Purple City (yes, there is a resemblance toBeijing’s Forbidden City, too). You may also wish to explore Hoi An, Da Nang or even China Beach, where U.S. soldiers sought R&R during wartime.

“Koh Samui is een eiland met torenhoge kokospalmen, schitterende zonnestralen en prachtige witte zandstranden. Een van de drie grootste eilanden in Thailand, het is gemakkelijk om de wereld te vergeten in dit paradijs. Aan de zuidkant van het eiland zijn de vreemde rotsformaties van Hin Ta en Hin Ya de fysieke belichaming van een echtpaar waarvan het schip in de baai was vergaan. Eerst geregeld door Maleise vissers, is het eiland rijk aan legendes en verhalen zoals deze.
De Big Buddha op de noordkust van het eiland is een populaire attractie en een belangrijk symbool voor de lokale bevolking. Bezoek een van ‘s werelds mooiste watervallen, Na Muang – of geniet van de eenvoudige schoonheid van zeldzame vlinders, insecten en bijen in de Na Tian Butterfly Garden. Of misschien wil je de wereld voorbij zien gaan in de schaduw van een kokospalm.”

Ooit een klein Khmer-handelscentrum, is Bangkok uitgegroeid tot een van ‘s werelds meest bevolkte en kosmopolitische steden.
