According to a source from Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper, Bill Gates is currently staying at the luxurious InterContinental Da Nang Sun Peninsula Resort after attending a pre-wedding celebration in India. The celebration was for the son of Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s wealthiest billionaire. In 2013, the resort also hosted former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair during a financial conference held by Standard Chartered.
Although no photos of Bill Gates and his girlfriend on this trip have been released, it is reported that they plan to spend five days in Vietnam. BNN Breaking, an international news network, reported this information. Due to the importance of confidentiality for Gates, he has decided not to visit tourist sites in Da Nang and Hoi An, a popular nearby attraction.
Instead, the billionaire took a trip to Ban Co Peak, which is located along a road connecting InterContinental Da Nang and the site. Ban Co Peak offers a stunning view of the coastal city and Gates spent 30 minutes there, savoring the night-time atmosphere and enjoying a cup of tea.
