Da Nang

Central Vietnam’s beach city and flight gateway.

Overview

Da Nang is central Vietnam’s largest city and air hub, famed for the long My Khe Beach. Downtown, Dragon Bridge puts on evening fire/water shows; nearby are the Marble Mountains and Ba Na Hills (cable car and Golden Bridge). Many travellers use Da Nang as a base for Hoi An and Hue, but it’s also ideal if you want a resort-and-beach rhythm.
