Da Nang

With broad beaches, fantastic street food, the fabled Hai Van Pass, and a growing collection of cafes, restaurants, and bars, it’s no wonder the residents of Da Nang sport some of the broadest smiles in the country. Da Nang is a true beach city. It’s also home to some fantastic golf courses.

The warm sands of My Khe Beach sweep south from the mountainous Son Tra Peninsula. Da Nang hosts some of Vietnam’s top luxury resorts, but much of the beach still belongs to the people who make it their playground, gym, and source of livelihood.

Ba Na Hills and the spectacular Golden Bridge are a day out with a difference!  Also try an after-dark tour to see Danang at its shimmering neon-lit best. The city’s street-food scene also deserves close investigation.
