Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s beautiful beaches in thecentral region are ideal destinations for Valentines’ Day, read an article byJade Tye that was run in Malaysia’s The New Straits Times on February 13.

The author wrote that Vietnam’scentral coastline is gaining increasing attention from beach-lovers andhoneymooners. Couples will be rewarded with a more relaxed and less crowdedatmosphere amid palm-fringed beaches and picturesque craggy coastlines againstthe backdrop of mountain ranges and windswept dunes.

Jade suggested that they should visitthe beaches in February when the weather is cooland sunny with fewer rainy spells. The warm, dry season falls between March andSeptember.

“With a string ofquaint beach towns yet to face the onslaught of mass tourism — from the modernmetropolis Da Nang to the secluded, paradisiacal Quy Nhon — Vietnam’s sun-bakedcoast offers a refreshing romantic beach holiday,” read the article.

The beauty of Da Nang and Quy Nhon,as well as their characteristic features, were described vividly in thearticle.

More than just agateway to the world heritage sites of Hue and Hoi, Da Nang is a brillianturban beach hub in its own right. With an international airport providingconvenient connections, the fast-growing coastal city lined with an impressive60km-long shoreline offers a booming culinary scene, exciting street food, andlively nightlife.

Da Nang is home toan endless stretch of beaches with the most popular being My Khe and Non Nuoc.The preferred choice is Non Nuoc beach for its soft sand, gentle slopes, andmild tides year-round. 

Meanwhile, Quy Nhon, with itswide boulevards and pleasant streets, retains much of its gentle provincialvibe without the excesses of Hanoi and Saigon. Crossing the street in Quy Nhonis a stress-free, sanely affair. Its biggest asset though is its unpretentiousallure, from historical relics and wild seascapes, to an interior of lushmountains dappled with desolate sand dunes.

In the article, the authoralso recommended a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Hoi An, alongwith Nha Trang and Mui Ne.

Jade affirmed that the uniquenatural landscapes, people, and culture in the central coastal region ofVietnam will provide holidaymakers with memorable experiences, which areguaranteed to keep couples and families loved up this Valentine’s Day.–VNA
