Da Nang, Hue & Hoi An Family Vacation
Stay at My Khe Beach, visit Ba Na Hills, take a scenic train to Hue, and end with the lantern-lit nights of Hoi An.
The most popular short route in Central Vietnam for Chinese-speaking travelers, requiring no domestic flights after arriving in Da Nang. Relax for two nights at My Khe Beach, visit Ba Na Hills, then take a scenic train over the Hai Van Pass to spend a night in Hue. On the return leg, cross the pass and visit the Marble Mountains on the way to Hoi An. This itinerary is easy for children and seniors to keep up with, offering a more relaxed pace than heritage-heavy routes, bypassing Phong Nha Caves and My Son.
September to December is rainy and prone to typhoons; Ba Na Hills is often shrouded in fog.
