South East Asia Adventure Part Nine – H?i An, Vietnam
Posted on February 2nd, 2021 on https://travellingtheworldin360.blog
It was the twenty-first day of my South East Asian Adventure, and I was in the final country of the final tour of my travels, before I ventured on my own for a few weeks.
I now found myself leaving the coastal city of Nha Trang and heading on a speedy, hour-long flight to Da Nang (interestingly, when you fly domestically in Vietnam you still need to display your passport).
Before departing our hotel we had a quick breakfast, which was an unusual affair once again, as the hotel buffet served a range of western dishes, including macaroni bolognaise (this was my bizarre choice as I was in no position to be turning down my favourite cuisine on the rare occasion it was available, even if this did mean pasta for breakfast!).
Once we landed in Da Nang, we left as quickly as we arrived and took a coastal drive straight to the neighbouring city of H?i An. Known for its network of connecting canals and its abundance of floating lanterns, H?i An’s beauty rivals many other cities. Just like Udaipur in India (which I had visited and admired earlier in the year), H?i An is known as the “Venice of the East”.
