Large rocks spilled onto the road, temporarily stopping sightseeing at Son Tra peninsula

After the recent floods, many landslides appeared on some roads on Son Tra peninsula (Da Nang city).

On the evening of November 4, the Management Board of Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang tourist beaches said that due to the impact of heavy rain in recent days, some locations on Son Tra Peninsula have experienced landslides and rolling rocks on the roads to Ban Co peak and Suoi Om area.

Specifically, the Yet Kieu - Ban Co peak route has 1 landslide point about 100 m from the Forest Ranger Station; the Ban Co peak - InterContinental Da Nang route has a landslide point about 3 km long; the Tien Sa - Suoi Om - Ban Co peak route has 2 landslide points, located about 500 m from Suoi Om. Only the Cay Da Ngan Nam and Ho Sau routes have no landslides recorded.

Regarding the situation at the tourist beaches, the Management Board said there was no damage to infrastructure. However, due to heavy rain and strong waves, a large amount of trash, duckweed and other debris washed ashore, especially along the Vo Nguyen Giap and Nguyen Tat Thanh beaches.

Many coastal areas such as My Khe and My An have had sand washed up onto the sidewalks by waves; Paradise Beach (My An beach) in particular is at high risk of landslides.

The road to Son Tra peninsula is extremely dangerous so the authorities have organized a road closure.
