From the wind-sculpted dunes of Mui Ne to Da Nang, with its bridges, marble mountains and city beach, you travel along the central spine of Vietnam, past salt fields, dragon fruit orchards and the coast. The distance is long, so most travelers go overnight, by train, sleeper bus or private car. Compare and book on GoAsia.cc.
