Holiday in Da Nang

About Da Nang

Da Nang is Vietnam's emerging coastal city and the perfect link between the cultural sites of Central Vietnam and the country's most beautiful beaches. The third-largest city in Vietnam has transformed in recent years from a sleepy port town to a modern metropolis that fascinatingly combines tradition and progress. My Khe Beach stretches over 30 kilometers and has been named one of the six most beautiful beaches in the world by Forbes Magazine. The fine, golden sand gently slopes into the turquoise water, surfers find good waves during the winter months, and the nearby Cham Islands offer excellent snorkeling and diving. The beach promenade becomes a meeting point for joggers, families, and street food lovers in the evenings. The Marble Mountains are five marble and limestone hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain. Inside, they hide Buddhist cave temples, hidden grottos, and viewpoints with breathtaking panoramic views. The pagodas in the caves, illuminated by sunlight streaming through openings in the ceiling, are magical places. The Golden Bridge on Ba Na Hills is Vietnam's most photographed structure — a curved bridge seemingly suspended above the rainforest, held up by two giant stone hands. The entire complex on the mountain offers, in addition to the bridge, a replica French village, an amusement park, and spectacular views. Da Nang is the ideal base camp for two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the ancient town of Hội An (30 minutes) and the imperial city of Huế (2 hours). The city itself surprises in the evenings with a spectacular light show at the Dragon Bridge, which spews fire and water every Saturday and Sunday. Street food markets like Han Market and Con Market offer the diverse flavors of Central Vietnam at sensational prices.
