Vietnam's Most Dynamic Coastal City

Midway between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang has transformed from a sleepy port town into Vietnam's most dynamic coastal city in just two decades. Known as the city of bridges, its iconic Dragon Bridge breathes fire and water on weekend nights, while pristine white sand beaches stretch for kilometres along My Khe and Non Nuoc shores.

My Khe Beach — Asia's Best Beach

Forbes Magazine named My Khe Beach one of Asia's most attractive beaches, and it is easy to understand why. The crescent-shaped shoreline offers clear turquoise water, fine white sand, and gentle waves perfect for swimming. The beach is lined with seafood restaurants where fresh catch is grilled tableside. Try the locally beloved mì Quảng (turmeric noodle soup) at a beachfront stall before or after your swim.

The Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn)

Just 9 kilometres south of Da Nang, five marble and limestone hills rise dramatically from the coastal plain. The Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn) are riddled with Buddhist shrines, Cham towers, and natural caves. Climb to the Linh Ung Pagoda at the summit for panoramic views over the coastline. The adjacent village of Non Nuoc is famous for its stone carvers who craft everything from tiny Buddha figurines to life-size statues.

Hoi An: A 30-Minute Escape

Da Nang serves as the perfect base for day trips to Hoi An Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site just 30 kilometres south. The lantern-lit ancient town is a time capsule of 15th–19th century trading port architecture. Explore the Japanese Covered Bridge, browse tailors who can craft a custom áo dài in 24 hours, and dine on white rose dumplings (Bánh Bao Vac) and Cao Lầu noodles — dishes found nowhere else on earth.

Ba Na Hills & The Golden Bridge

Rising 1,487 metres above sea level, Ba Na Hills resort offers a dramatic escape from the coastal heat. The highlight is the spectacular Golden Bridge — supported by two giant stone hands — which became a global viral sensation after its 2018 opening. The mountaintop is frequently wrapped in mist and clouds, creating an ethereal atmosphere that has made it one of Vietnam's most photographed destinations.
