Everything You Need to Know
Da Nang is central Vietnam’s modern engine — a coastal metropolis that has transformed from a sleepy port into a bustling hub of bridges, skyscrapers, and pristine beaches. Fringed by the rugged Son Tra Peninsula and the sacred Marble Mountains, the city is sliced in half by the Han River, crossed by architectural showpieces like the fire-spitting Dragon Bridge. It serves as the gateway to three UNESCO World Heritage sites, but holds plenty of its own secrets: from the golden sands of My Khe Beach to the mist-shrouded peaks of Ba Na Hills where the Golden Bridge stands held by giant stone hands.
