Waze how to change starting point

A curvy road leads the way to Bach Ma mountain. The landscape is part of Bach Ma National Park, 40 kilometers from the central town of Hue. After buying a ticket at the gate, tourists can rent a car and drive about 20 km to Hai Vong Dai, the highest point on the Bach Ma summit while taking in the view. As visitors ascend, the lines and curves of the mountains and forests will slowly take shape outside the car windows. Bach Ma is the only strip of Vietnam's primeval forest that connects the sea to the Vietnam - Laos border. The destination is also home to many deserted villas that used to be the resorts of the colonial French officers and Hue’s upper-class families.

Starting next year, the city will formulate plans on its own and call for investment later, the city's party leader Truong Quang Nghia said at a Tuesday meeting with almost 1,000 city residents. He said reviewing the city's general urban plans has been a key task undertaken by the municipal administration for the past two years. Earlier this year, the city had hired Singaporean consortium Sakae Corporate Advisory-Surbana Jurong as consultants to make adjustments to its master plans from now until 2030 and with a vision until 2045. Based on advice from the two firms, Da Nang, considered the third major city in Vietnam after capital Hanoi and southern metropolis Ho Chi Minh City, will make development plans on its own.
