Photos from Da Nang in 2015 by Harry Simons

From the 20th floor of the new Diamond Sea Hotel [http://diamondseahotel.com] this is a picture of Monkey Mountain approximately north I think.  Noteworthy are the radar domes (top left) that are still in use.  Access to that facility is blocked off.  The beautiful sandy beach is of course China Beach.  Groomed and cleaned often China Beach is now a primary civilian international R&R location in Vietnam.  The construction is another hotel that you can reach out and touch.  By now it’s probably blocking this view.

Perhaps Harry is trying to talk his way into the old AFVN compound.

Just a stray thought, but when it was built in 1966 was it really expected to last for nearly 60 years?
