An Observer reporter suggests that tourists looking for a travel destination in Vietnam to enjoy local street food, surfing, and visit UNESCO-recognized historical sites should consider stopping in Da Nang.
Vietnam's leading tourist city is described as "modern with blue seas, white sands, and diverse, colorful public cultural programs, especially on weekend evenings." Currently, the number of international tourists visiting Da Nang in 2023 has even exceeded pre-pandemic levels.
Thanks to its central location, Da Nang often has many direct flights from popular tourist destinations in Asia such as Taipei, Seoul, or Tokyo. International tourists can easily fly directly to this central Vietnamese coastal city instead of having to transit in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi .
From Da Nang, tourists can easily visit famous nearby tourist destinations such as My Son Sanctuary, Hoi An, and the ancient capital of Hue. These locations are all less than two hours' drive from Da Nang. Within the coastal city itself, there are also a variety of accommodations, restaurants, attractions, and tourist activities to explore.
In addition, the Observer also suggested three high-end accommodations that tourists can visit when coming to the seaside city.
The first "must-see" destination when visiting Da Nang is My Khe Beach. The British Times noted that while many hotels in the city have private beaches, tourists should definitely visit My Khe Beach. This location is described as a bustling public white-sand beach right in the heart of the city. Here, visitors can participate in activities such as jet skiing, surfing, and windsurfing. It's advisable to ask your hotel to book these beach activities to ensure you're using a reputable provider.
Another recommended attraction is Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula, about 10 km from the city center. The highlight there is the 67-meter-tall statue of the Goddess of Mercy. The Observer advises visitors to Son Tra Peninsula not to feed monkeys if they encounter them.
Marble Mountains (Ngũ Hành Sơn) is also an impressive tourist attraction in Da Nang, suitable for visitors who enjoy hiking and admiring mountain scenery. The period from September to November offers cool weather with less intense sunshine, making it convenient to visit. Tourists should dress simply, respect the local culture, and may light incense to pray for good fortune.
Another famous tourist destination in Da Nang is Ba Na Hills, located at an altitude of over 1,500 meters above sea level. From here, visitors can visit the Golden Bridge, a "popular check-in spot on social media".
Additionally, the Observer suggests that tourists visit APEC Park and the Da Nang Cham Sculpture Museum, which houses ancient Cham Pa cultural artifacts.
In addition, when visiting Da Nang, tourists cannot miss the opportunity to explore its culinary scene. The British newspaper introduces both affordable local eateries and upscale restaurants in the coastal city. Modern-style restaurants can serve creatively reimagined Vietnamese dishes.
