For 14 years, 41-year-old Phan Thanh Trinh has volunteered his time to reunite tourists with their lost belongings in Da Nang, spreading goodwill in one of Vietnam's most livable cities.
Touched by an online plea, Trinh, a Da Nang resident, dedicated himself to finding an engagement ring lost at Cua Dai beach, emphasizing the value of international visitors to Vietnam.
With over 5.8 million visitors in the first half of the year, an 18% increase, Da Nang solidifies its position as central Vietnam's tourism hub, especially after the VnExpress Marathon.
With Da Nang becoming overly familiar, direct flights to Nha Trang and improved services are making it a top destination for South Korean tourists this summer.
