Da Nang is the first port of entry for American soldiers arriving in Vietnam. Da Nang used to have a huge American military base. American soldiers used to go to My Khe beach to play volleyball, sunbathing, surfing, etc... Today Da Nang is the best city in Vietnam 🇻🇳. Korean tourists love this city. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
Why most people passengers on buses didn’t involve in I guess; Passengers were tired because of the heat and humidity passengers wore out if some hassle or dispute the bus fare then ask someone else to help
You often talk in your video about hassles, things not to do, aggressiveness, etc., but you don't give concrete examples. Too bad. I went to Vietnam for times (2 times in Da Nang), the bikers go in all directions and on the sidewalks, but I never felt the aggressiveness you are talking about. I think the best way to avoid this kind of scam you're talking about (the guy who changes the price of the bus ticket) is to go through any small travel agency (there are everywhere) to whom you will pay for transportation in advance.
It's important to tell people about possible hassles so they can avoid them. It's a big part of why I started the channel - to help people. :) The concrete examples I mentioned in the video were the bus ticket inspector on the bus to Hoi An aggressively trying to over-charge foreigners (which plenty of people have posted about online in similar experiences on the same buses), the one guy on the motorbike almost crashing into me intentionally shown in the video, and the person in the church I mentioned who got upset that I wanted to go into the church. Those are the only concrete examples mentioned in this vid because they are the only ones I have experienced in Danang, though I'm sure there are plenty of other potential hassles to watch out for. It's a great place, and I don't want to make it sound like it's a bad place. I would mention problems in any place in any country I show in the episodes. If you go through a tourist agent to book transport to Hoi An, as you suggested, you pay a lot more. It kind of defeats the entire point of having a bus service. Personally I prefer to challenge scammers head on, if need be, but I don't advocate others should necessarily do it as it's potentially dangerous. It's a matter of principle to me, but I can fully understand and accept it's better for many to do it other ways. There's a vid on RUclips of a family with a child in a stroller who used that bus and avoided paying extra though the guy tried to over-charge them, which was not something I would do if I had a child with me & maybe you'd be interested to check that one out too. :) Cheers, and thanks, I appreciate the food for thought! :)
@@SeekeroftheWay-qt5kj I understand everything you are telling me without any difficulty. The problem is that to circumscribe negative anecdotes in this way inevitably gives the impression that they are important - even if that is not at all your intention - they are somehow magnified by the simple fact of isolating them. This is a socio-linguistic phenomenon linked to the proliferation of the Internet. As for small travel agencies, I do not remember them being particularly expensive at all, quite the contrary. To get around Da Nang, you do not need to take the bus, you can walk or use very short Grab taxi routes, taking care to agree on the total cost with the driver in advance. Or rent a bike: they are often even free, for example with a whole bunch of small hotels with shared beds. Buses are however necessary and very practical to take us for example from Da Nang to Hoi An. Small travel agencies offer the organization of the Da Nang to Hanoi tour for frankly ridiculous costs. As for the question of scams, the unfriendly people watching the places to visit, or reckless motorcyclists, this is not specifically Vietnamese. Drivers who run red lights or exceed the speed limits permitted by law, vulgar people, without culture or refinement, or those who intimidate, are common in the West! I witness it every week. Urban life in the United States, Canada or Paris is often a degrading and basic spectacle. I feel a thousand times safer if I go out to buy something at midnight in Hanoi or Da Nang than if I go out at the same time in the neighborhoods full of crime and drugs (and thieves) in the Western city centers that I just mentioned (to say nothing of South America!). Vietnam is one of the safest countries in the world according to all the statistical data that I have consulted.

Korean tourists love this city. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.
Thank you!
Not a major positive issue these days
cool!
Cheers!
in 2007 I took a bus from Hue to Da nang the fare is 2 quid
and l took another bus from Da nang to Zhou an paid 1 quid
There are a few different types of bus. But the local one is harder to find now, which I think is no coincidence.
Why most people passengers on buses didn’t involve in
I guess;
Passengers were tired because of the heat and humidity passengers wore out
if some hassle or dispute the bus fare then ask someone else to help
Most normal people fear organized corruption as they think there are higher up people involved who take a commission and protect and organize scams.
in 1994 in Da nang no one had had money to buy food about 95% of people had no money
I was there Da nang in 1994
I almost traveled there then with a friend, but I also had no money. My friend loved it there though.
