The festival also reflects the growing relationship between Đà Nẵng and South Korea. Last week, city officials welcomed the newly appointed Consul General of South Korea in Đà Nẵng, Han Jungil, reaffirming continued cooperation between the two sides.

Đà Nẵng has established friendship and cooperation with 10 South Korean cities and partners and currently maintains 15 international cooperation agreements.

South Korea remains one of Đà Nẵng’s leading foreign investors, with 345 investment projects valued at approximately US$1.33 billion, ranking among the city’s top four sources of foreign direct investment.

Educational cooperation has also continued to expand, with six South Korean universities signing partnership agreements with Đông Á University to promote academic exchanges, language education, and internship programmes.

Vovinam – Taekwondo Martial Arts Performance

Tourism continues to be another key pillar of the relationship. Đà Nẵng welcomed 2.1 million South Korean visitors last year, making South Korea one of the city’s largest international tourism markets.

Several Korean airlines—including Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Air Busan, Air Seoul, and T’way Air—currently operate direct flights connecting Đà Nẵng with Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and Cheongju, providing convenient access for travellers.

Cultural Experiences, Hanbok Try-ons, and Traditional Vietnamese & Korean Folk Games

Looking ahead, Đà Nẵng plans to further strengthen tourism cooperation with destinations such as Jeju Island, Incheon, and Seoul, while promoting travel routes linking visitors to Central Việt Nam’s renowned UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Phong Nha–Kẻ Bàng National Park, the Complex of Huế Monuments, Hội An Ancient Town, and Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary.

Da Nang’s Cam Thanh named one of the world’s best villages by Forbes

Forbes described Cam Thanh as “woven between coconut groves and tidal creeks, humming with the rhythm of river life. Bamboo basket boats swirl through the Bay Mau nipa palm forest, their skippers casting nets in the shade of swaying fronds.”

Cam Thanh, situated in Hoi An Dong ward of Da Nang, was recognized by Forbes in 2025 as one of the world’s 50 most beautiful villages. Remarkably, it is the only village from Vietnam to earn a place on this prestigious list.

Cam Thanh, ranked 20th, was highlighted by the American magazine as a village “surrounded by rivers and expansive coconut forests.”

“Exploring Cam Thanh by basket boat, drifting peacefully through the lush Bay Mau coconut forest, or watching local boatmen cast their fishing nets is an unforgettable experience,” Forbes highlighted.

The recognition not only highlights Cam Thanh’s charm but also strengthens Danang’s tourism brand. The city welcomed more than 12.8 million visitors in the first eight months of this year, representing an increase of over 20 per cent year-on-year.

Danang has emerged as a favourite destination for South Korean tourists, receiving about 870,000 arrivals in the first half of this year, nearly 40 per cent of all South Korean visitors to Vietnam.

American travellers have also shown rising interest. According to data from online travel platform Agoda in January, Danang was the most searched destination by US tourists, surpassing Tokyo and Bangkok with a growth rate of 1,538 per cent.

On land, travelers can explore the village by cycling through its picturesque lanes lined with lotus ponds, shrimp farms, and grazing buffalo. Visitors can also join cooking classes, where they’ll learn to prepare authentic Vietnamese dishes.

This year’s list saw European villages dominate the top 10, claiming eight spots. In Asia, ten villages made the cut, with Cam Thanh being one of them.

Vietnam’s Weather and Top Destinations to Explore in May

Despite the complex weather patterns, May is still a great time to visit Vietnam. As a transitional month between spring and summer, the country experiences increased rainfall and rising temperatures. In Hanoi and northern Vietnam, the heat and humidity start to build, accompanied by more frequent showers—yet the weather remains comfortable enough for outdoor activities. Along the central coast, hot and sunny days make it one of the best regions to explore during this time. Meanwhile, southern Vietnam begins its gradual shift into the rainy season. Let’s take a closer look at the weather and top destinations to visit in Vietnam during May.

1.Weather by Region in May.

1.1 Northern Vietnam

Popular destinations: Hanoi, Halong Bay, Cat Ba, Sapa, Ha Giang, Mu Cang Chai, Ninh Binh, Mai Chau, etc.

May in northern Vietnam marks a pleasant shift into summer, with temperatures typically ranging from 24 to 36 degrees Celsius. It’s an excellent time to visit both the northern and central regions of the country. However, travelers should be prepared for occasional weather disruptions, including storms or tropical depressions that may lead to changes in plans, such as canceled boat tours in Ha Long Bay. The mountainous areas like Mu Cang Chai and Sapa enjoy comfortable weather during this period, as local hill tribes begin planting rice on the terraced fields. In contrast, Ha Giang, located further east, tends to experience heavier rainfall. Despite this, May remains a wonderful time to explore Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

1.2 Central Vietnam

Popular destinations: Hoian, Danang, Hue, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Dalat, etc.

May brings some of the best weather to Central Vietnam, with sunshine dominating the forecast and minimal rainfall to disrupt outdoor activities. Temperatures rise steadily, often reaching the upper 20s to as high as 38°C (upper 80s to 100°F). This hot, dry climate makes it a perfect time to enjoy the beaches of Da Nang, Hoi An, and Nha Trang. With long, sunny days, it’s an ideal month for snorkeling, diving, or simply relaxing by the sea. Just be sure to prepare for the heat—pack light, breathable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat to stay comfortable.

1.3 Southern Vietnam

Popular destinations: Ho Chi Minh City, Phan Thiet & Mui Ne, Mekong Delta, Long Hai & Ho Tram, Con Dao & Phu Quoc, etc.

In May, South Vietnam begins its transition into the rainy season, though the change is gradual and mild. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Temperature: Expect hot and humid days with highs ranging from 28 to 36 degrees Celsius (82 to 97 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Rainfall: While the rainy season technically starts in May, the rain usually comes in short, afternoon bursts. You’ll still enjoy plenty of sunshine.
  • Humidity: Humidity levels hover between 60-70%, making it feel even warmer.

Overall, May remains a great time to visit South Vietnam. The occasional rain showers offer a refreshing break from the heat and are unlikely to cause major disruptions to your travel plans.

2. Places to go in Vietnam in May & Useful Tips.

With average temperatures ranging from 20 to 30°C, the Mu Cang Chai and Sapa regions remain mostly dry, making them ideal for trekking. In particular, the terraced rice fields of northern Vietnam are at their most stunning during this time. May marks the “falling water season,” when fresh water cascades from one terrace to the next, and the fields shimmer with vibrant green and golden hues from the new rice crop.

Best known for its vibrant “butterfly season” in April and May, Cuc Phuong National Park is an ideal destination for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure-seeking travelers.

Protected by the Truong Son mountain range, Central Vietnam experiences significantly less rainfall in May compared to other regions of the country. It’s an excellent time to visit its beautiful beaches, such as the pristine white sands of Nha Trang, the calm, warm waters of Quy Nhon, or the more secluded Lang Co Bay. Additionally, combining beach time with cultural exploration in Hue and Hoi An—both UNESCO World Heritage Sites—would make for an unforgettable experience.

The South is known for its hot, humid weather and frequent rainfall, but it enjoys slightly cooler temperatures compared to previous months. Therefore, visiting Ho Chi Minh City’s main attractions and air-conditioned museums remains a great option.

The island in South – Con Dao is still in favorable diving conditions during this month. Don’t miss it.

As the hot, rainy season approaches, with increased rainfall across the country throughout the month, it’s essential to pack rain gear, insect repellent, and summer clothing. Don’t forget to bring a sunhat, sunglasses, or a parasol to shield yourself from UV rays. If you’re heading to mountainous regions or the Central Highlands, make sure to include a couple of warm layers for the cooler early mornings and late nights.

At the start of the month, during the April 30-May 2 holiday, city dwellers often head out of town for a quick getaway, making it a busy time, particularly at the beaches. However, later in the month, you can still enjoy the best beaches under glorious sunshine, but without the earlier crowds. Another advantage of May is that tour prices and accommodation rates tend to drop, or are more negotiable, making it an ideal time to visit.
