Linh Ung Pagoda
Temple · Son Tra
Free to visit, and the grounds are big enough to find a quiet spot despite the tour groups.
Han River Night Market
Market · Hai Chau
Newly opened in 2024 and popular with both locals and tourists.
St. Joseph's Church
Landmark · Da Nang
Sits right beside the Da Nang Afternoon Market, so both are easy to visit together.
Da Nang Afternoon Market
Market · Da Nang
Called the most local market in Da Nang, with friendly vendors and a huge seafood selection.
APEC Park
Park · Hai Chau
Lights up in multiple colours at night and can be seen from across the Han River.
Asia Park
Activity · Hai Chau
Ferris wheel rides cost 150,000 VND per person, and fireworks launch from jet skis around 9:15 pm.
Marble Mountains
Hike · Ngu Hanh Son
An elevator saves steps for 15,000 VND; allow a few hours, and water vendors are nearby.
Museum of Cham Sculpture
Museum · Hai Chau
My Son Sanctuary
Day trip · Duy Xuyen
Each ruin has a QR code explaining its history and religious practices.
Con Market
Market · Hai Chau
The second floor is full of fabric, which is handy for getting clothes made.
Son Tra
Neighborhood · Son Tra
Automatic scooters are not allowed past the guard gate; take a manual bike or a Grab or taxi.
Dragon Bridge
Landmark · Son Tra
The fire show runs every Saturday and Sunday; standing downwind gets you soaked by the water spray.
Ba Na Hills
Day trip · Hoa Vang
Reached only by a record-breaking cable car; called a highlight and not overrated.
Golden Bridge
Landmark · Hoa Vang
Buu Dai Son Pagoda
Temple · Son Tra
Monks hold daily rituals here, during which the main temple may be off-limits.
My Khe Beach
Landmark · Son Tra
The flower walk, added in 2024, is lovely day and night and popular for evening strolls.
Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village
Shopping · Ngu Hanh Son
An easy quick stop on the way to Marble Mountains.
Hai Van Pass
Day trip · Lien Chieu
Roads are good and not steep, so a 125cc automatic scooter handles it fine.
Han River Cruise
Activity · Hai Chau
Prices vary by excursion; night cruises show all the bridges lit up.
Son Tra Night Market
Market · Son Tra
Rated overpriced and repetitive, though seafood lovers may enjoy it.
Pumba's Smokehouse
Restaurant · Da Nang
The Montreal smoked meat sandwich, baked beans and potato salad are recommended.
Burger Bros
Restaurant · An Thuong
Dine in rather than order delivery; burgers via Grab aren't as good.
Rainbow Poke
Cafe · Da Nang
Hue
Day trip · Thua Thien Hue · brief mention
