Why Da Nang Continues to Attract Players
Da Nang has long been a favourite stop for travelling poker players, and it’s easy to see why. The city is one of Vietnam’s most modern and accessible coastal hubs, sitting just ten minutes from the international airport and offering a smooth, stress-free arrival for international guests. Wide boulevards, clean beaches, and a calm seaside atmosphere make it an ideal location for players settling in for an extended festival.
Between events, players can take advantage of Da Nang’s mix of natural scenery and cultural landmarks. Ba Na Hills and the iconic Golden Bridge offer one of the country’s most memorable day trips, while Hoi An Ancient Town provides a completely different pace with lantern-lit streets and riverside dining. The Marble Mountains, set just a short drive away, make for another quick escape when players want a reset between long sessions.
And then there’s the food. Da Nang’s culinary scene is a major draw of its own, featuring staples like Mi Quang, banh xeo, bun cha ca, and some of the freshest seafood in the country. Whether players want casual street dining or a quiet restaurant by the water, the options are easy and plentiful.
