During the ongoing 5-day holiday break for the National Reunification Day (30 April) and International Labour Day (1 May), a large number of tourists from both home and aboard are flocking to Da Nang. In particular, given the scorching weather hitting the city, such local beaches as My Khe, Pham Van Dong and Xuan Thieu have been crowded with swimmers in recent days.
