Modern city not yet so popular among tourists, as it is mainly considered a port city. As such, there are no attractions here, as well as entertainment. The rare vacationers on the street are looked upon as savages. But, despite their mediocrity, the city's beaches have been recognized by Forbs magazine as the best in the world. They really deserve attention. The beaches are clean, lacking a large flow of people and attract vacationers from all over the world.

Attractions Da Nang

marble mountains

There are mountains between Da Nang and Hoi An. They are formed from five hills of stone origin. Many years ago, the entire surrounding area was in a flooded state, and the hills served as islands created by nature. Each of the hills is represented by one of the five parts of the universe and have their own names. Over time, caves formed inside, next to which ancient people built temples and shrines. Hill Thuishom and today is considered the most popular place for pilgrims. Many caves are so dark that you should take a lantern with you to coordinate inside, and also not to stumble upon bats, of which there are an unmeasured number inside.

You can visit each of the caves for a nominal fee. Near the entrance, you will also be offered to purchase a map of the area and a set of pictures with images of mountain beauties. At the very base of the mountain there are two villages that have become famous for their artisans. One of them, Non Nuoc, is replete with shops with figurines, figurines of deities and ceramic dishes. Any tourist will definitely appreciate it, because you can hardly find such a quantity of ceramics and souvenirs anywhere. The prices in the shops are not the highest, and you can even bargain for a lower price. If you decide to purchase a large sculpture, then right on the spot you can arrange delivery to anywhere in the world.

You can get to the Marble Mountains if you purchase sightseeing tour at any agency in the city. But it's best to go on your own. It is much more interesting, informative and cheaper. And there will be no time limit to study better natural object. It is very easy to get to the marble mountains from Da Nang. You can go by bus, taxi or rent a bike. You will be taken to a fork, where you will immediately see five mountain hills. You can get back the same way, you just need to cross the road.

Cable car and Mount Bana

The mountain is located 40 kilometers from Da Nang. Its height fluctuates at the level of 1478 meters. At the beginning of the 20th century, the French built a resort here. Bana is special in that during the day you can observe all four seasons on it. The clouds on the mountain never rise to the top, but are located approximately in the middle. That is why it is always clear and sunny at the top. Mount Bana is very popular among tourists. They come here to restore their health. To date, an amusement park for children and adults is being built inside Ban. Since this is a resort, it could not have done without a hotel where you can stay without any problems. From here, walks to the waterfalls and to numerous viewing platforms are made. On the territory of the hotel there are playgrounds for active sports and a spa center. It is worth coming to the Bana resort complex, however, you need to stock up on money to visit all the local attractions.

It is impossible not to mention the cable car that stretches from Ban to Mount Vong Nguyet, where there is a large 24-meter Buddha statue and a number of shrines. Recently, the road was included in the Red Book as the longest and highest in the world. You can visit it during a tour of Mount Bana or on your own by local transport.

Cham Museum

The museum was founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is considered the most famous place in Vietnam. The museum houses the largest collection of Cham sculpture in the world. Most of the exhibits are represented by ancient sanctuaries founded throughout the south of the country. The structure of the museum consists of ten thematic rooms. Apart from historical monuments, here is a collection of old photographs and texts, many of which are unique exhibits dating back to the 5th century.

Only lovers of history and archeology will be interested in the Cham Museum. However, ordinary tourists will also find something to do.

Da Nang Museum

Do not confuse this museum with Chamov. It is a kind of local history museum. For some time it was closed, but in 2011 it resumed its work. In the future, this place may become one of the most popular in the city, but so far few people know about the museum.

The Da Nang Museum is located on three floors of a modern building, which has become a continuation of an old abandoned building of the 19th century. The museum has more than 2,500 different unique exhibits in the form of photographs and luxury goods. There are even halls staging scenes from the life of the indigenous population. The museum will definitely appeal not only to adults, but also to children.

buddha statue

The 67-meter statue is located in the national temple of Da Nang. This is one of the symbols of the city and one of the largest statues in Vietnam. The monument was founded in the 18th century, but in 1919 it underwent a major reconstruction. The Buddha statue is worth a visit. But you can get to it only as part of a tour. The Buddha is located at the very top of the mountain. That is why, in addition to the majesty of the statue itself, it will be interesting to see the surrounding places from a bird's eye view.

Ruins of Michon

The name of the ruins is often pronounced as Mison, but this is completely wrong. The ruins of Michon are considered the remains ancient state Champa and listed World Heritage. On the territory of the ruins there are 17 former temples and tower structures dating back to the 13th century. Michonne is often confused with Angkor Wat. But the ruined buildings are still far from the scale of a Cambodian temple. Despite the huge territory of the attraction, there are very few ancient structures here, and everything that remains looks more like a cluster of stones.

You can get to the My Son ruins from Da Nang or Hoi An along with a guided tour. But, as usual, there is a second way: on your own. By renting a taxi for only $20, you can travel through the ruins all day long. But a trip with an excursion will be much more interesting, as the route sometimes includes a visit to the Cham dance show, cooking lessons and other interesting entertainment.

The hottest time in the city is from August to September. The air temperature then is about 34 degrees. In December, the temperature minimum was recorded - 19 degrees. But it's still warm outside.

The Marble Mountains are located near Da Nang, close to the sea. This natural monument consists of 5 stone hills formed from marble and in ancient times former islands. At the beginning of the 19th century, King Gia Long named these mountains after the names of the five natural elements: Thui Son (Water), Mokshon (Wood), Hoashon (Fire), Kim Son (Metal) and Tho Son (Earth).

The largest of the five sacred holims is Water Mountain, which is home to several pagodas, the most famous of which, Tam Thai Pagoda, was built in 1825. To the left of the pagoda is Observation deck, which offers a beautiful view of the surroundings of Da Nang and all the other mountains.

There are several caves that were previously used as sanctuaries by Hindu Chams and Vietnamese Buddhists. At a later time, a hospital for the Viet Cong was arranged here. You can go to explore the caves either with a guide, or for a small fee you will be accompanied by local boys.
