What to do in Da Nang?

Sơn Trà Peninsula, a few kilometres from central Da Nang, is home to one of the world's rarest monkeys: the red-shanked douc. With its orange-toned face and colourful coat, this endangered primate is unmistakable. The peninsula is one of its most important remaining refuges, but spotting these tree-dwelling monkeys in the wild takes patience.

In Da Nang, sunrise at the beach is much more than a pretty view: it's a daily ritual for residents. At first light, the beach comes alive and becomes a gathering place for locals, far removed from the tourist atmosphere later in the day. It's a special side of the city worth discovering!

Dragon Bridge (Cầu Rồng) is one of Da Nang’s landmarks in Vietnam. Spanning 666 metres across the Han River, it features an enormous golden dragon. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm, the dragon comes to life in a free show, breathing real flames and then spraying water. The show is short, lasting less than ten minutes.
