Visit Da Nang to Experience one of the best eye catchy sights – Your time in Vietnam is about to get better!

A west coast location provides stunning sunsets against a landscape of lush mountains that make Da Nang one of the most popular tourist destinations in South-Central Vietnam. Da Nang's pristine beaches provide a broad variety of fun-filled excursions for those wishing to relax.

My Khe Beach

A vast swath of pristine white sand extends for 20 miles east of Da Nang, at My Khe Beach. As one of Vietnam's most scenic beaches, it was given its name by U.S. forces stationed there during the Vietnam War. My Khe Beach is a famous area for sunbathing, fishing, snorkelling, jet-skiing, and surfing in addition to its luxury resorts and seafood restaurants. Several World Heritage Sites, are also conveniently accessible by bus.

Marble Mountains

A cluster of five limestone and marble hills, Marble Mountains are situated about 9 kilometres south of Da Nang in Hoa Hai District. There are five peaks here, each with a unique name derived from the mountain's topography: Thuy Son, Hoa Son, Moc Son, Kim Son, and Tho Son. Other 17th-century temples and sanctuaries may be found scattered across the highlands, where people can worship and have their futures read.
If you are enjoying some of the finer things in Hoi An travel, be sure to add The Vietage to your list of activities to experience during your time in Vietnam and maybe you'll get a glimpse of the Marble Mountains along the way as well.

The Son Tra Peak

In Da Nang, Son Tra Mountain, known colloquially as Monkey Mountain, is a breath-taking national park that is 693 meters above sea level. For motorcyclists, the Son Tra Peninsula's twisting roads make it a great place to visit, while hikers can take in the lush woods and possibly glimpse a rare species like the red-faced monkey. Da Nang's Monkey Mountain, which houses the world's highest sculpture of the Goddess of Mercy, is also home to Linh Ung Pagoda.

Dragon Bridge

With a length of 666 meters, the Dragon Bridge is Vietnam's longest bridge. The golden dragon-shaped bridge, which spans the Han River and is a famous photo location, is built in the shape of a six-lane bridge and is also shaped like a golden dragon.

Pagoda of Phap Lam

Located on Ong Ich Khiem Street, Phap Lam Pagoda is a two-story edifice with a lot of trees, groomed gardens, and stunning Buddhist sculptures. Da Nang's bustling city centre is only a short walk away from this peaceful temple, where people pray in the afternoon and monks carry out their daily duties. A seated 1.1-meter-high Buddha statue and brass sculptures of the Mercy Goddess and Dai the Chi Bodhisattva grace the pagoda's courtyard. Vegetarian options abound in the area surrounding Phap Lam Pagoda, including eateries and food trucks.

Visitors can enjoy sunbathing and surfing while savouring the local seafood delicacies on the beach's soft white sands and gradual slope. At the bottom of the Marble Mountains, Non Nuoc Beach occupies 5 kilometres of Hoa Hai Ward's shoreline and features ancient pagodas and sacred caves as well as artisan communities.
