Da Nang, the third-largest city in Vietnam, is a vibrant center of commerce, tourism, and education. It offers easy access to the UNESCO-recognized Hoi An Ancient Town, fabulous beach resorts, the addictive Banh Mi, and some of the most incredible beaches in Vietnam.

Nature blends harmoniously with its surroundings, making it worth spending some of your leisure time there. Despite having some temples and government buildings, modern bridges have really put Da Nang on the international travel map.
 

The Marble Mountains, My Khe Beach, and Hoi An are among the most delightful hotspots near Da Nang. The Dragon Bridge and Golden Bridge in Danang have recently become famous spiritual and religious destinations. The nostalgic architecture of the hands, together with the pristine nature around, creates a wonderful backdrop for the main bridge. Coated in gold, the bridge’s brilliant color stands out while still harmonizing with the surrounding scenery.
