Khâm Đức
A 2-hour stop on the Hoi An–Pleiku motorbike route: stretch your legs, eat a bowl of pho, then keep riding. Not a destination on its own.
Khâm Đức is a small town on the Ho Chi Minh Road in the Central Highlands, about 2 hours by road from Hoi An. It has a war memorial and a handful of local eateries, but no major sights. Most travellers pass through on a motorbike trip between the coast and Pleiku or Kon Tum. Half a day is enough to see the memorial, eat and sleep.
