Dong Ha Favorites

Favorite thing: You're in Dong Ha, it's 4am and outside the station it looks the countryside (completely dark). When the sun comes up, turn right and walk all the way alongside the railway line until the big bridge. This is (almost) the junction of the famous Highways 1 and 9. Highway 1 is running parallel to you, and is where the hotels are (most are government owned and expensive). People will obviously approach you asking if want rooms and one we spoke to was very pleasant (ex-US supporter). If you keep walking north on the Highway 1 you'll pass the market, cross the bridge and eventually come to the Dong Que restaurant/GH/travel info place. It's probably the best place in town (30 mins walk from the big junction).
