Golden Bridge, Ba Na Hills
Held aloft by two enormous stone hands, the Golden Bridge has become one of Vietnam's most photographed structures — part of the wider Ba Na Hills complex, reached by one of the world's longest cable cars.
Da Nang
Da Nang pairs a genuine big-city energy with some of Vietnam’s finest beaches and resorts — a fast-growing coastal city that’s become one of the country’s most exciting luxury destinations, with resorts now competing on the same international stage as Phuket or Bali, at a noticeably lower price point.
Things to do
My Khe Beach
Consistently ranked among Asia's best beaches, My Khe's miles of golden sand run right through the city, making it easy to combine a proper beach day with Da Nang's restaurant scene.
Marble Mountains
Five limestone and marble hills dotted with Buddhist sanctuaries, caves, and pagodas, offering panoramic views and a genuinely different texture to the city's beach-and-skyline reputation.
Son Tra Peninsula & Lady Buddha
A protected nature reserve just outside the city, Son Tra is home to the 67-metre Lady Buddha statue and some of Da Nang's most secluded, jungle-clad luxury resorts.
Hoi An Day Trip
Less than an hour away, Hoi An's lantern-lit Ancient Town makes an easy and very popular day (or evening) trip from Da Nang, letting you base yourself resort-side while still taking in Hoi An's heritage charm.
