Travel website TripAdvisor just released its 2014 list of "Destinations on the Rise." The rankings feature locations across the globe “that have received the greatest increase in positive feedback and interest from TripAdvisor members, year over year,” according to CNN.
This year, Da Nang took the top spot for its food, beaches, and of course, its badass dragon bridge:
“The port city of Da Nang is a beacon for foodies, who flock here to sample the famously fresh and bold flavors of Central Vietnamese cuisine. Taste your way through the streets on a walking or biking culinary tour. Work off those bowls of spicy noodle soup with an exploration of the caves and grottos of the Marble Mountains. Be sure to time your nighttime stroll so you pass the Dragon Bridge when its “head” breathes fire over the River Han,” wrote the site.
Here's the top 10:
1. Da Nang, Vietnam
2. Sihanoukville, Cambodia
3. Limassol, Cyprus
4. Ao Nang, Thailand
5. Bodrum City, Turkey
6. Naha, Japan
