Danang

Founded in 1888 and formerly called ‘”Tourane” by the French, Danang is Vietnam’s third international gateway.

It has long been the busiest seaport and is now the main city in central Vietnam located midway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.


Nowadays, except for a few architectural remains of the French colonial period and its famous Cham museum, the city is mainly an active business city and port.

Hoi An

Historically known as ‘Faifo’, Hoi An was a major maritime hub in Asia and the largest commercial port in Vietnam during the 17th and 18th centuries, located 30 km south of Danang.

Today, Hoi An, rich in cultural heritage and unique in character, is considered as one of the most charming coastal towns of Vietnam.



A mixture of Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and French influences, it retains the feeling of the past centuries. Its magnificent collection of almost 850 ancient French colonial buildings, the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge and its pagoda and preserved streetscapes are just begging to be explored.

Kompong Chhang 

Located in the centre, at the edge of Tonle Sap River, this small village has been built around a big fishing port. 

Used as a frequent stopover for boats cruising the river, Kompomg Chhang is an ideal spot to spend the night in a relaxed atmosphere.

Sihanoukville 

Located in the southeast of Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand, Sihanoukville is the only maritime port of Cambodia. This small green and hilly city features beautiful white sand beaches and clear crystal waters.

Sihanoukville and its surroundings islands is a perfect stop for a beach holiday.
