Here’s an extract from the article:
Foodies and beachgoers are flocking to the Miami of Vietnam
Danang, Vietnam’s third largest city, is probably best known for being a gateway to the nearby Unesco Heritage town of Hoi An.
But in the last few years, it’s begun to develop its own reputation as the Miami of Vietnam, with a strong foodie scene and new hotels and resorts popping up on a five-mile-long beach strip, including the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, on its own private cove, with hillside villas with individual plunge pools.
A typical day might start with a morning swim on the sandy, crescent-shaped Non Nuoc Beach and perhaps a quick stop at the Han Market.
Then, an afternoon visit to the Marble Mountains, where travelers can explore the temples and pagodas that look out over My Khe Beach.
and, later, dinner back in the city, perhaps at Nén, a new restaurant from the much-followed food blogger Summer Le.
Perhaps finish the day with a visit to the highly Instagrammable Cau Rong – Dragon Bridge in the hills above the city, which is illuminated every night. Don’t leave without sampling a bowl of mi quang, the justifiably famous local noodle soup made with a turmeric-infused broth, chicken, pork, local seafood and shredded cabbage, and available for about $1 at any number of street-food stalls.
