DaNang Railway Station by Public Bus

From the railway station, it’s a 10-minute walk to the public bus stop.

Go straight when you walk out of the railway station and turn left when you stand in front of the Pizza Hut on the corner of the street (4-min walk). From here, it’s a 500m walk (6min) to the bus stop located at 155 Le Duan Road.

Tip: Add the location to your google maps.

From this bus stop, you can catch the yellow public bus #1, running every 20 minutes from 5:30 till 17:50.

See here the exact route:

Yellow bus #1 is also the same bus that passes by the bus stop close to the airport. The bus ride takes around half an hour to Hoi An and only costs 20,000 VND ($1). But don’t expect a high service level for this price.

Also, note that bus drivers often try to overcharge tourists. Just point politely to the correct prices on their official website and don’t let them fool you.
