Located roughly halfway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Danang is an important stopover for visitors planning a comprehensive tour of Vietnam. Long considered little more than a provincial backwater, Danang has stepped out as a fast-growing, modern hub – and it’s now one of the most important cities in the country. For a clear view of Danang’s vision for the future, take a stroll along the Han riverfront, lined with modern restaurants, boutique shops and stunning high-rise architecture. Grand Mercure Danang guests are ideally based on the river’s Green Island, within easy reach of restaurants, nightlife venues and the fascinating Cham Museum.
