Da Nang Vietnam
Da Nang has been asleep for 15 years, according to one tourism industry local. And while the city's cyclos still move along the leafy avenues at a sleepwalker's pace, there is definitely some stirring going on. Glossy new apartment complexes and shopping malls line the riverfront, where the scent of new paint seems to mingle with the salty harbour air. Some of the city's more important avenues have been widened, while buildings and hotels are continually being torn down and rebuilt, don't be surprised if you show up somewhere to check out a room, and find the lobby covered in scaffolding.
