“Hàn River and iconic colourful light-flooded bridges will be rendezvous for all tourists exploring the amazing night of Đà Nẵng on river cruises and friendly vehicles.

Nearly 10,000 flights carried 1.6 million passengers to the city in the first three months of 2024. International flights accounted for 50 per cent of total flights in the first quarter, it said.

The city plans to resume and launch five air routes connecting Đà Nẵng with Taichung City and Kaohsiung City of Taiwan (China), Vientiane, Laos, Manila, the Philippines and chartered flights from Fukushima, Japan in the second quarter.
