Dragon Bridge

“Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is the longest bridge in Vietnam, offering a dazzling display of lights, fire, and water that no first‐time visitor to Da Nang should miss out on. Measuring at 666 metres in length, it is located in Da Nang City and constructe­d in the shape of a golden dragon” – vietnam-guide.com

Marble Mountains

“Just off the Da Nang Beach coastal road, the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) consist of five craggy marble outcrops topped with pagodas. Each mountain is named for the natural element it’s said to represent: Thuy Son (Water), Moc Son (Wood), Hoa Son (Fire), Kim Son (Metal or Gold) and Tho Son (Earth)” – Lonely Planet

Lady Buddah

“Being the tallest Buddha statue in Vietnam, Lady Buddha Da Nang is located at Linh Ung Pagoda on Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang which is nine kilometres away from My Khe beach, or 14 kilometres from Da Nang city centre”

Bach Ma National Park

“A French‐era hill station, this national park reaches a peak of 1,450 metres at Bach Ma mountain, only 18 kilometres from the coast. The cool climate attracted the French, who built over a hundred villas here. Not surprising­ly the Viet Minh tried hard to spoil the holiday – the area saw some heavy fighting in the early 1950s and again during the American War” – Lonely Planet
