A new day on the sea of Da Nang

If you visit Đà Nẵng, wake up early and head to the beach around 5 a.m. to feel a peaceful, authentic Đà Nẵng

Before the first rays of sun appear, the locals are already bustling — walking, jogging, cycling, doing exercises or bathing in the early-morning sea. The air is fresh, waves lap gently, carrying the salty scent of the sea

Walking along the shore, you may catch sight of coracles hauling nets and fishing boats returning after a night at sea. Fishermen carry baskets of fresh fish, shrimp and squid together. Cheerful chatter and trading fill the seafood market right on the beach

In Đà Nẵng, spend at least one morning waking with the sea to see that the city's beauty lies not only in its famous bridges and beaches, but in a dawn glittering like a painting and the gentle, vibrant rhythm of people starting a new day amid the sound of the waves
