Recommended spots for your Da Nang trip

Da Nang – a youthful and livable coastal city – always knows how to make visitors fall in love at first sight. Here, you can catch the sunrise over the sea, the sunset by the mountains, brilliantly illuminated bridges at night, and inspiring spaces of knowledge in the heart of a modern urban area.

If you are planning to explore Da Nang, here are the must-visit destinations for your journey.

Dragon Bridge – The Architectural Symbol of the City

Mentioning Da Nang, people immediately think of its bridges – structures connecting the two banks of the Han River and symbolizing connection and the aspiration to reach far within this young city. Among them, Dragon Bridge stands out with its golden dragon shape curving toward the vast sea. The design recalls the legend of Lac Long Quan – Au Co, representing strength, prosperity, and Da Nang’s powerful rise in the era of integration.

Every weekend, when the dragon breathes fire and water under dazzling lights, the bridge becomes a gathering place for locals and visitors, vividly portraying a dynamic, modern, and vibrant city.

Love Bridge & Carp Turning into Dragon – A Romantic Corner by the Han River

There is a very special corner along the Han River – Love Bridge, where small padlocks rest side by side, quietly watching the water flow day by day. People come here not merely to take beautiful photos, but to send their wishes and to realize that connection is sometimes preserved through the simplest things.

Right next to it, the Carp Turning into Dragon statue quietly rises as a continuation of that belief. The image of the carp persistently swimming upstream to transform itself reminds us that every meaningful change requires time and patience. Standing by this riverside, we learn to be more patient with ourselves and others, understanding that as long as we do not give up, our efforts will one day bear fruit.

My Khe Beach – Captivating Turquoise Beauty

Recognized as one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, My Khe Beach captivates visitors with its smooth white sand, crystal-clear water, and an endless coastline.
In the morning, welcome the sunrise; in the afternoon, immerse yourself in the waves; at night, stroll along the shore listening to the wind. My Khe offers a relaxing atmosphere and wonderful energy renewal. It is certainly a place to regain balance between work and life.

Apollo Medical Museum – The First Medical Museum in Vietnam in the Heart of Da Nang

In the vibrant heart of Da Nang, there is a quiet space that invites reflection on the most precious thing: life. Apollo Medical Museum is a place that preserves medical artifacts and tells the tireless journey of humanity in understanding and protecting itself.

Standing before the statue of Hippocrates or looking back at wartime memorabilia, we realize that medical ethics and dedication are not distant concepts. They represent the silent sacrifices of those who choose to wear the white coat and the resilient spirit rising from adversity of an entire nation.

Leaving this space, what remains is not medical terminology but a gentle awakening. We learn to cherish every breath, be grateful for our health, and remind ourselves to care more for our loved ones each day. A peaceful stop within the campus of Phan Chau Trinh University, yet meaningful enough to make your journey through this coastal city more complete.

Marble Mountains – Where Nature and Spirituality Meet

We cannot fail to mention the Marble Mountains when visiting Da Nang – a complex of limestone hills, caves, and ancient pagodas creating a space both majestic and serene.

Climbing to the summit and overlooking the city from above, you can feel the harmony between modern life and cultural depth. It is a place where people slow down to listen to themselves.

Son Tra Peninsula – The Green Lung of Da Nang

Son Tra appears like a green embrace around the city, where primeval forests meet the ocean waves. Standing beneath ancient trees or within the tranquil courtyard of Linh Ung Pagoda, we feel small yet deeply at peace before the generosity of nature.

The value of Son Tra lies not only in its magnificent scenery but also in its quiet reminder of the bond between humans and nature. Every branch, every red-shanked douc langur, and the sound of waves against rocky cliffs are precious gifts preserved by nature through centuries.

Visiting this place is more than sightseeing; it is a journey to appreciate wild life and understand that preserving this beauty also protects the peace within our own souls.

Hoi An Ancient Town – Gentle Nostalgia

Just a short distance from Da Nang, Hoi An welcomes visitors with a completely different rhythm – one of tranquility and nostalgia. Beneath moss-covered rooftops and the soft glow of lanterns, time no longer measures haste.
 

Hoi An Ancient Town – Gentle Nostalgia

Walking along the quiet Hoai River, we realize that the true value of this place lies not only in its golden ancient houses but also in the way people cherish each fragment of memory. In an era constantly seeking the new, Hoi An stands as a gentle reminder that old values, when preserved with love, hold timeless beauty. It is a place to return to, to be grateful for the past, and to treasure the original values still present in life.
