Top Highlights in Da Nang

My Khe Beach

One of Vietnam’s most famous stretches of sand, My Khe offers calm, swimmable waters and a long promenade lined with cafes and seafood restaurants. It's ideal for sunrise walks, surfing lessons, or simply lounging under a palm tree.

Marble Mountains

Just south of the city center, these five limestone and marble hills are dotted with caves, pagodas, and Buddhist shrines. Climb to the top for panoramic views of Da Nang and the coastline, or explore the cool interiors of the Huyen Khong Cave.

The Golden Bridge (Cầu Vàng)

Located in the Ba Na Hills resort area, the Golden Bridge is held aloft by two giant stone hands and has become an iconic symbol of Vietnamese creativity. Take the scenic cable car ride to the summit, and enjoy gardens, French-inspired architecture, and mountain air.

Dragon Bridge

This modern engineering marvel spans the Han River and comes to life at night. On weekends and holidays, the dragon-shaped bridge even breathes fire and water—a unique spectacle for evening visitors.

Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain)

Home to the towering Lady Buddha statue, this peninsula offers forested trails, quiet beaches, and sweeping views of Da Nang Bay. It's also a protected area for endangered langurs and a peaceful escape from the city.
