7 things to do in Da Nang, Vietnam

Hi all!!!


Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Vietnam for the first time c/o Angsana Lang Co!  I was there for approx 3.5days and I did quite a fair bit of sightseeing. 
Ancient heritage sites, picturesque countrysides, unspoilt beaches and a fusion of French-Vietnamese cuisine, Lang Co is a must-go destination for travellers. With plenty of undiscovered spots to be explored and packed with historical and cultural sights, the region promises a charming and truly alluring adventure.  
For this post, here are 7 things you can do when you visit Da Nang, Vietnam :)


1) Stay at Angsana Lang Co
Scenic views you can to see during the 1 hour journey from the airport to the resort :)


Angsana Lang Co is situated in Central Vietnam, within the Laguna Lang Co Complex. It is in close proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hue, Hoi An and My Son.


This is the room I stayed in when I was there! It is the Premier Room with an ocean view. Comes together with a private plunge pool and balcony!





WHO DOESN'T LOVE BIG SOFT FLUFFY KING SIZED BEDS!?!?


My favourite part of the toilet...??

BUBBLE BATH!!! :D


View from my room in the day!


Day VS Night ;)

Besides big fluffy and comfy beds... my next favourite would be ROOM DINING SERVICES!! I love eating food in the comfort of my very own room :)

Supper at 2am! Eating like a boss while watching movies like 'Mom's night out' hahaha


There are also alot other rooms available at Angsana Lang Co~ Here, we have the a room that has direct access to the beach!


Next, we have The Loft room! This is definitely my favourite room!!!!!!!!!! It is perfect for families or if you're here with a group of friends :D


And one main reason why its my favourite room is because of this private pool + view:

I KNOW RIGHT!??!?!?!  How pretty can this get!!! This is really a perfect resort if you want to be away from the busy city life, the crowd, and just be united with the sea, sand and sun :)




View from the loft room, too amazing already!!!

Within Angsana Lang Co itself, there are also alot of activities to do... like... SWIMMING!!!


One thing I love about the pools at Angsana Lang Co is the lazy river pool!!  It stretches around the entire resort so it's really a beautiful view :)





Other than swimming, other recreational activities you can do over at the resort includes: - ATV - Kayak - Lantern Making - Paper Lotus Making - Painting - Yoga - Golf


And ohya!! Don't forget to visit the beautiful beach too! :) Angsana Lang Co has their very own private beach!

2) Stay at Banyan Tree Lang Co
From Angsana Lang Co, you can either take a short boat ride/buggy ride to Banyan Tree Lang Co!




While Angsana Lang Co is more for families/group of friends, Banyan Tree Lang Co will be perfect for couples who wants a romantic private getaway trip :)







Living on the edge!  SUPER LOVE THE CRAZILY AWESOME VIEWS!!!!!


Also, don't forget to visit the private beach at Banyan Tree Lang Co too ;)






3) Indulge: SPA Treatments
Over at Angsana Lang Co, be spoilt with a wide range of spa treatments!



The massage was freaking good I fell asleep!! Zzzz. My masseur was very friendly and professional too! I love massages!! :D




4) Visit: Hai Van Pass

Travel up the Hai Van Pass, an old highway that meanders over the mountains between Da Nang and Lang Co. It offers breathtaking paranomic views of the sea and countryside.






Animals we don't get to see on Singapore roads...








It looks almost as if the sea and sky are joined together :)

The midi skirt is so dreamy and flowy! I love it :) Makes me feel extra feminine too hehehe





5) Visit: Hoi An




Visit the 2,000 year old Hoi An old town, just one hour from Lang Co. A thriving commercial port for spice, ceramics and silk trade from the 15th to 19th century, the UNESCO Heritage Site is now a shopper’s paradise with charming art shops and galleries amidst narrow streets.




















Super cute magnets!! I love collecting magnets so I got one of it for keepsake memory! Guess which I picked?







Beautiful fresh blooms!


I also got myself a bouquet too!! Hahahaha I just couldn't resist those hydrangeas flowers and it was only... $7 for this bouquet? :O #wheretofindinsingapore






Pretty night scene at Hoi An when it turned dark!









Dine at Seedlings when you're at Hoi An :) It has a perfect view of the old town!







After dinner, visit the night market at Hoi An! This is the place to go if you wanna get souvenirs etc!


I wasn't really interested in shopping but more fascinated with this small street, filled entirely with beautiful lighted lanterns!! This calls for picture takings!! lol








6) Visit: Hue


Hue, the former imperial city was home to 13 successive Vietnamese emperors. Now a UNESCO Heritage Site, a tour of Hue should include a visit to the Mausoleum of King Tuc Duc. It is a one-and-a-half hours drive from Lang Co.









Luxe Rousseau x Banded Frock in Multi c/o NEONMELLO. Comes in Grey as well.

For lunch, we had it at Y Thao Garden located in Hue.




Hands down, their food were so creative!!  Not to mention yummy too :)




We also managed to try the Bun Bo Hue, a clear beef noodle soup made of pure beef stock infused with lemongrass that is a specialty of Central Vietnam.


When in Hue, visit Thien Mu Pagoda!



"Built in 1601 between a river and a pine forest, the Thien Mu Pagoda ("Heavenly Lady Pagoda") in Hue is one of the oldest and prettiest religious buildings in the country. Among the many interesting artifacts housed at the complex is the car that took the monk Thich Quang Duc to his self-immolation in 1963 Saigon."







Last but not the least, a MUST visit in Hue is the Tu Duc Tomb!

The architecture of this place is really unique! It combines essence of the Chinese, Indian, Christianity and even has a lil bit of the 'European feel'.

"Located in a narrow valley in Duong Xuan Thuong Village, 8km from Hue City, Tu Duc Tomb is considered as one of the most beautiful and picturesque and largest works of architecture of Nguyen Dynasty’s royal palaces and tombs. People say that Tu Duc Tomb is a must in every tour to Hue City."




















7) Eat: At Angsana/Banyan Tree Lang Co 1. Rice Bowl @ Angsana Lang Co





A tribute to the cultivation of rice, Rice Bowl serves up delectable rice dishes.




2. Marketplace @ Angsana Lang Co

Had one of the most amazing buffet breakfast here :)


3. Saffron @ Banyan Tree Lang Co


Banyan Tree's signature restaurant Saffron features a crafted menu of traditional Thai dishes cooked with a modern touch. With an interior of royal purple fabric and embroidered silk in a setting perfectly placed to overlook the sweeping East Sea, this hilltop restaurant makes for an experience to tantalise both palate and spirit.



When I was there, it was still the celebration of Loy Krathong so I had the chance to release this into the water while making a wish!






Favourite would be the tom yum soup!! It was soooo good although some of the other bloggers were saying it was too spicy. Lol. But I love it :D Thai food never fails :)


Slow shutter speed at its best! Took this night shot from the Balcony at Saffron!


4. Azura @ Banyan Tree Lang Co


A beachfront restaurant offering indoor and al fresco dining on a varnished veranda, Azura serves up good old-fashioned Italian recipes, succulent offerings of seafood and deliciously scrumptious appetisers. Watch the chefs work rounds of pizza dough at an open counter before it is turned into crisply thin pizza of the highest artisan excellence.














Thank you Angsana Lang Co for allowing me to experience Vietnam! I had so much fun and you guys can enjoy this too!
