My name is Hung, I hold a BA in History and Culture and have been working in tourism in central Vietnam for over a decade, arranging private tours and experiences for guests. I am also a certified guide with 10 years of professional experience. In my free time, I enjoy reading extensively about culture, history, economics, cuisine, politics and religion from different countries, which allows me to offer deeper context and meaningful stories during my tours. I am a food lover and storyteller, born and raised in the beautiful city of Da Nang, a place I know like the back of my hand. I live right between Da Nang and Hoi An with my family. I might be a new guide on this platform, but rest assured that my extensive experience guiding for the entirety of the past decade allows me to create memorable, authentic experiences for travellers who want to explore Vietnam. Xin Chào Viet Nam and Da Nang!

Overview of your Da Nang tour

On this tour, we'll step inside the Ky Anh Tunnel, constructed in 1965 as a hidden bomb shelter, and used as a clinic and a warehouse when fighting the US army. As we explore, I'll share some of the strategies our soldiers used to survive the Vietnam war. With an impressive length of 32 km, around half a meter of width & roughly 1 metre of height, the tunnel zigzags & bends around Thach Tan Village, running along bamboo clusters, bushes & mounds of straw. We'll also go further into the past by visiting the ancient Chien Dan tower complex. There, we'll admire the glorious Champa Empire, marvelling at the concealed beauty of the temples, sculptures and impressive friezes from between the 9th & 11th centuries, worshipping the Shiva Gods of Hinduism. These long, rectangular panels are filled with figures carved in relief, in a classic style very similar to that of the Khmer from Angkor. Embark on a one of a kind exploration by booking this tour!
