Central Vietnam Trip 2024 - Day 2 - Danang - Cruise at night with view of Dragon Bridge

 After dinner, we were whisked for our cruise tour. This tour is not included in our package tour, it was an optional tour where we paid S$25 for it. It was about an hour ride or less than it. They gave us a can of coke, a bottle of mineral water and some fruits. The main purpose of the cruise was to ride to the  dragon bridge to view fire breathing out from the dragon.

Everyone were excited to see the dragon breathing fire.

Onboard the cruise, we were also entertained by a belly dancer.

It was so cold as the cold wind from the river blow into our ship.  After the cruise tour, we went back to the hotel for a good night sleep.

Central Vietnam Trip 2024 - Day 2 - Danang - The Sail Hotel

After 2 hours bus ride from Hue City, we finally arrived back to Danang. Danang weather is just like back in Singapore. Danang is not as cold as Hue City as Hue City is on the north of Vietnam and has 4 seasons.

The Sail Hotel is a four star hotel, very clean and cozy hotel. 

The bedroom wardrobe is so colourful.

Free complimentary water and coffee and tea but I am not sure if the snacks are chargeable.

Anything in the fridge is chargeable.

After a short rest, we went walked over to My Khe Beach which is only less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
