This City is situated on the South West coast of the Island, and lies on the Mediterranean coast. It is the fourth largest City in the country. There is the older part which contained a famous temple of Aphrodite…the legendary site where Aphrodite was born from the sea foam. The New part, became the administrative capital of the whole Island in Roman times.

The Architectural Marvels of a UNESCO Capital City

(10) Where Was I ?

It is a Capital City, and the old part was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The city lies on a bay with a protected harbour.

It is a place where you dance the salsa, drink mojitos, and smoke the odd cigar or two. The city is renowned for its literature, architecture, politics, folklore, music, and of course, the Rum!

Enjoy your visit to this vibrant City.

Why Da Nang is One Of My Favourite Travel Destinations

Do you have a favourite place you have visited? Where is it?

I have visited several countries over the past twenty years or so. One of my favourite places I have visited, has to be Vietnam. I spent a wonderful two weeks in Da Nang. The culture, scenery, food, and especially the people…they were so friendly and welcoming.

Da Nang is also known as the city of bridges.
