TripAdvisor has announced Da Nang in Vietnam as the number one Destination on the Rise in the World and Asia in the Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Southeast Asian destinations dominated the awards for places to see in 2015, however the rapidly developing Da Nang, Vietnam took the top prize quite convincingly.

Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism of Da Nang City deputy director Tran Chi Cuong, said that it is a thrill to see Da Nang being recognised at a global stage.

the pictured panorama looks like...Florida...

I never have been to Da Nang but I hear that it is a popular tourist destination...I'm more of a north central coast kinda guy meself...they call me 'Mr Ha Tinh'...

tutsi checks into the BMC hotel in Ha Tinh city: 'yes, Mr tutsi (cough) I mean Mr Ha Tinh...we have your usual room in the NW corner of the 13th flood waiting for you...there should be a spectacular sunset this evening...'

tutsi: 'did ye put them sausages an' the pate on de menu like I told ye?'...'yes, I believe so, Mr Ha Tinh...I shall check for you...'

and then tutsi growls: 'whattsamatta wid ye...send up some ice straight away...'...and then he turns to the bookish but nicely proportioned young Vietnamese woman by his side and sez: ' you OK, babe? any time now...' and then she sez: 'you are absurd, Mr Ha Tinh...'

Mr Ha Tinh: a local hero of Socialist Labour...

I have been to both Da Nang and Florida, and the beaches and water are totally different. IMO, much nicer in Florida (when you compare best versus best). But Da Nang was nice and fun, and I definitely recommend someone go check it out. I remember good food, good weather, easy, relaxing, and good fish (had a local get it for me at the market).
