Hello Hive friends! How is your 2022 going? It's December, and finally, winter is here.
But believe it or not, these photos you are seeing right now are from this winter in Da Nang Vietnam. Those days were incredibly sunny and warm. I woke up running down to the beach and thought I was lost on a summer day.
I was talking to a British friend earlier and argued about the weather this year haha. It was so so strange because the rainy season was supposed to come around September. There was a storm back there though, a massive storm. But after that, it was still warm until last week.
During our November here, there were days like this, I woke up and realized the heat was all over the place. I ran down to the beach and was so shocked to see people were all over the place, it looked like another summer here. Maybe 2022 has been too harsh on us so this beautiful weather was to compensate for that 😊
These photos were taken one week ago.
Winter is also surf season! Da Nang is a paradise for surfing. The waves in winter are the reason. But isn't it amazing to surf with good waves but the same time it's still sunny and not cold at all? 😍
How the typical winter here is like?
I would say it's probably like today haha - because it's been raining and getting chill in the last few days already. As I said I love all seasons in Da Nang throughout the year. So I'll show you more cool activities here later.
Now let's get back to these rare days last week.
The temperature was around 25-30C. Isn't it amazing? It was quite windy, chill, and exciting.
This is the low tourist season, so you won't see many tourists around. But you do, they are mostly from other countries where winter is even way colder than it here. They said winter in Vietnam is just like their summer.
This is one of the gates to our Tourist town, we also call it Expat town or Western town. I lived in this town for over 2 years and moved a bit far away just a 1 month ago. The Tourist town is right across the beach.
As beautiful as the weather might seem, it was heaven because there was no big crowd, and we (locals and some rare tourists) had the place for ourselves.
Swimming areas are still very limited though. It's not high tourist season so there are not many lifeguards around. You are only allowed to swim wherever the lifeguards are on duty.
The water is just magical...
My Khe beach Da Nang is listed as one of the most beautiful beaches on this planet. See you here one day in Vietnam, come in summer so your heart can bloom! 😊
I gotta run now to take Cookie out for a walk! Enjoy your winter anywhere you are and hope this brings you some sunshine!
See you around soon!

Such a cool place that is! Must be hard to forget summer is gone when you're in that Place. Awesome Pictures tho.
It's hard to accept the fact that summer is gone right? Especially it was so beautiful. I guess we just gotta enjoy the best out of this winter, or any situation we can. Hope you have a beautiful week there ;)
True.... Tho winter is my favorite season! Still summer vibes are something to miss
You too have a Great week ahead.

I have always wanted to visit the beach but never could I get so close.
It is a nice view you got there, I'm glad you shared.
There is any beach in your area?
Yes I'm happy to be here. My hometown has no beach. Since I moved here I never want to move back home :)
Yeah we have beaches were I live but
I had rough experience at beach when I was young, ever since I couldn't go near one. The last time I tried I nearly got a panic attack.
Reading your post while freezing my balls it's roughly 5c brrrrr! I hope Cookie enjoyed that warm walk!
