Hello everyone :)
I recently returned from a 4-day healing trip to Da Nang, Vietnam with my mother.
It was our first time traveling abroad together, and although I had a few worries at first, the charming streets of Hoi An, the vibrant energy of Da Nang, and the delicious Vietnamese cuisine made it an incredibly special and satisfying experience.
For those planning a family trip, especially with your parents, I’m sharing:
✔️ Our actual itinerary with real-time routes
✔️ Recommended restaurants, cafés, and attractions we visited
✔️ Transportation tips including how to use Grab in Vietnam
Let’s dive in!
Transport tip: Grab is a must. Install the app before your trip and connect a card for easy payments.
Hotel: Anio Boutique Hotel Hoian – Clean, friendly staff, and very close to the Hoi An Old Town. Highly recommended!
A rich and flavorful bowl of Vietnamese pho. Even my mom was impressed by the deep broth!
We wandered through lantern-lit alleys and centuries-old buildings. Great for taking beautiful photos and picking up small souvenirs.
A must-try banh mi spot loved by both locals and tourists. Expect a line—but it's worth it!
This was the highlight of our day. Located right by the beach, we enjoyed a peaceful dinner while watching the sunset. A truly magical moment with my mom.
Hotel: TMS Hotel Da Nang Beach
Located right by the beach with stunning sea views. Highly recommended!
This famous temple features a giant Lady Buddha statue. We prayed for peace and health together.
Relieved our travel fatigue with a professional and rejuvenating massage.
Local Vietnamese cuisine that wasn’t too spicy—perfect for older travelers.
A relaxing café with delicious garlic baguettes. Don’t miss them!
Excellent steak and a cozy atmosphere. Great for a quiet family dinner.
The iconic Golden Bridge was even more breathtaking in person.
We also enjoyed some downtime at Fantasy Park where the air-conditioning was a nice break from the heat.
A high-end pizza experience in Vietnam! My mom loved the gorgonzola pizza in particular.
A fantastic view of Da Nang’s night skyline. We sipped cocktails while enjoying the cool breeze and vibrant lights.
We bought dried fruits, Vietnamese coffee, pho kits, and more!
Tip: Lotte Mart is spacious, organized, and familiar to Korean travelers—great for last-minute shopping.
Finished the trip with light local meals before heading to the airport for our night flight back to Korea.
Grab is essential. Install the app and link your payment method beforehand.
Choose your accommodation based on your itinerary. Hoi An for the first night, Da Nang for the rest.
The weather can be hot! Don’t forget hats, sunscreen, and light clothes.
Plan a relaxed itinerary. Especially with elderly parents, less is more.
This was our first overseas trip together, and Da Nang proved to be a wonderful destination for a parent-child getaway.
With its blend of nature, food, and peaceful vibes, it’s perfect for creating unforgettable memories.

Wishing you a beautiful and healing journey with your loved ones 😊
