It was better than we expected. Train left and arrived on time. It would have been nice to have the snacks that was part of our package that we bought to be displayed on the table instead of being in a brown paper bag. Washrooms were clean. The door to the compartment to get food was broken while we were there.

Very cold in the bus. Me and my child got a cold and have temperature after trip. No way to buy food or eat something in the way. Very few toilet stops. Driver doesn’t know English at all. It was really stressful trip.

Advertised as high quality train adventure. Rather disappointed, and would rate at average as best. A bottle of water was the welcome drink, are you kidding?

Six of us traveling. We booked 4 beds in 1 cabin and 2 in another cabin. And did not notice that the confirmed tickets had 3 & 3, which means we had 1 person join us in each cabin. The operator tried to ‘fix’ it but we had to change a lower berth to an upper berth bed!!!

My sleeping area was clean. The driver was safe and didn't drive fast. The charger port worked and I had a/c, so I was comfortable throughout the ride. My only complaint is just the bathroom. It was pretty bad and smelled terrible. Don't sit in the back of the bus if you don't want to smell that the whole ride.

Tipping taxi drivers in Da Nang is not a common practice, but it is appreciated. Most fares include the cost of the ride, and drivers don’t expect additional tips. However, rounding up to the nearest 10,000 VND or leaving small change is seen as courteous, especially for good service. Some taxi companies, such as Mai Linh or Vinasun, have consistent pricing and reliable drivers. If you receive exceptional service, such as help with heavy luggage or efficient route navigation, a modest tip is a kind gesture. Keep in mind that cash is preferred since digital tipping options may not be available.

Standard tipping: Rounding up the fare.
Cash tips are most appreciated.
Helpful for exceptional service but not required.

Offering a tip is entirely at your discretion but shows gratitude in a way drivers understand.

The decision depends on lifestyle preferences, work, and climate. Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital, offers rich history, cultural landmarks, and a larger urban economy, making it ideal for career opportunities and experiencing northern traditions. However, its traffic congestion and cooler winters may deter some. Da Nang, a coastal city, provides a more relaxed lifestyle with clean beaches, modern infrastructure, and a warmer, tropical climate. It’s popular among expats seeking a balance between work and leisure, especially with its proximity to UNESCO sites like Hoi An and My Son.

Hanoi: Capital, cultural hub, cooler climate.
Da Nang: Coastal, relaxed, warmer weather.
Key factors: career, climate, lifestyle.

Both cities offer distinct advantages, so evaluate personal priorities when choosing.

Closing times in Da Nang vary by business type. Restaurants and coffee shops generally close around 9 PM to 10 PM, though some street food vendors may stay open later. Shopping malls like Vincom Plaza usually close by 9:30 PM. Bars and nightclubs in the My Khe Beach area often stay open until midnight or later, depending on demand. For tourist attractions, such as the Marble Mountains or the Dragon Bridge, visits typically end by 6 PM or after the evening light shows.

Restaurants: Close by 9–10 PM.
Malls: Typically close around 9:30 PM.
Bars/clubs: Midnight or later.

Plan activities accordingly to maximize your time and consider confirming hours for specific venues to avoid inconvenience.
