Traveling with My Friend

Introduction
Last summer, my friend and I decided to travel to Da Nang because we wanted to explore
the beautiful beaches and vibrant culture of central Vietnam. We both love adventurous
trips and trying new cuisines, so it was the perfect destination for us.

The Journey
We started our trip by taking a direct flight from Hanoi to Da Nang. Along the way, we saw
stunning coastal views from the plane and experienced a lively atmosphere at the airport.
One of the highlights of the journey was renting a motorbike to explore the Hai Van Pass,
where we enjoyed breathtaking mountain and ocean views.

The Destination
When we arrived at My Khe Beach, we were amazed by the crystal-clear water and soft
white sand. We spent our days swimming, sunbathing, and visiting nearby tourist attractions
like Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills and our nights tasting local dishes such as Mi Quang
and banh xeo. One unforgettable moment was when we watched the Dragon Bridge light up
and breathe fire during the weekend show.

Reflection
Looking back, I believe this trip was one of the most exciting experiences of my life because
it strengthened my friendship and allowed me to discover a new part of Vietnam. It helped
me and my friend create wonderful memories and relax after a stressful semester. In the
future, I hope to visit Da Nang again and explore more hidden gems in the area.
