China Beach was made famous, at least in the US, well after the war. There was a popular TV show by the same name which aired in the late 80’s.
Situated near Da Nang, these photos show me there some 31 years apart, amazingly almost in the same pose. As with the Hue Citadel photos (see Tet 1968: The Citadel post), a complete coincidence I did not intend nor discover until after I returned and began going through the pictures from both trips.
