Chan May Port - in the middle of nowhere

Vietnam is very long and narrow, about 2000 km north–south, much like Norway.
Chan May is an old port in the middle of nowhere I should say. About 80 km to the north you have the important imperial city of Hue and about 50 km to the south, Vietnam’s fifth largest city - Da Nang – is situated at the mouth of the Han River. About 20 km further south you find the pretty river town - Hoi An – which in 1999 was inscribed on the World Heritage list.
Da Nang is becoming a modern “high rise” city with a lot of holiday resort areas on the beaches, “plastered with” five star hotels and casino’s for rich people from Korea and Japan - maybe China? I understood the guides worry when she said in the future the beaches will only be for tourists and rich people, no public beaches for the local people.

                                                        Goodbye to the two yellow cranes



                                                    No dust - keep the sand aboard


                                                    We can still see the two cranes


                                            keep it steady - do not lose your bearings


                                                 He is still a float - so no help needed



                                                  What do they hide in those big barns ?
