Pulchra Resort, Da Nang City, Vietnam

Around a hundred Filipinos from Da Nang, Vietnam's third largest city, as well as from nearby areas, took a day off from work to attend this special gathering.

Da Nang is the third largest city in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi in terms of urbanization and economy and one of the major port cities, in addition to Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi and Hai Phong.

Situated on the coast of the South China Sea, at the opening end of the Han River, it is the biggest city in Central Vietnam.  It is governed as one of the five direct-controlled municipalities of the SRV and is thus under direct administration of the central government.

Da Nang is the commercial and educational center of Central Vietnam, with a well-sheltered, easily accessible port.  Its location on the part of National Route 1A and the North-South Railway makes it a hub for transportation.  It is located within 100 km of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Hue, the Old Town of Hoi An, and the My Son ruins.
