Shortest ride recorded today of riding just 8.3km in 39 min after having secured a hotel for 2 nights costing 300k,and another 100k for a taxi to airport.Now my ride had finally ended in Da Nang,70 days on the road with a total distance of 4041km from Chengdu excluding taking bus from Panzihua-Kunming-Hekou due to 30 days China visa expiry.After a good nap,I went out walking to the city center in the afternoon,near the Han River to enjoy the evening night view of all the bridges where decorated lights are lighted up at 6.30pm.Amazing view...just wonderful!! No regret for planning to make Da Nang my final destination.Once I met a lady in Prao,she is from Da Nang,"What's Da Nang famous for?"I asked,to what I know it was a former US Navy Base. Without thinking hard she replied " The bridge!! when the multicoloured lights are on". So remember not to miss it if you are planning a trip to Da Nang.
