Da Nang: The Miami of Southeast Asia

What awaits you

Da Nang, located in central Vietnam, lies between the sea and the mountains: vast beaches and an urban atmosphere coexist.

The famous Golden Bridge , in the heart of Sun World Ba Na Hills Park, is one of Da Nang's major architectural icons. Supported by two giant hands that seem to emerge from the mountain, it is reached by the world's longest cable car, which traverses forests and mountains at an altitude of over 1400m before arriving at an amusement park with a variety of attractions.

As night falls, the Dragon Bridge illuminates the city center. This 666-meter bridge comes alive every weekend and during holidays, projecting jets of fire and water at 9 pm. Nearby, the Han Market offers a Vietnamese street food experience.

Among the other must-see sites, the Marble Mountains represent five sacred hills, rich in caves and pagodas, ideal for immersing yourself in local history and spirituality while enjoying panoramic views of the city and the coast.
The Son Tra peninsula and the Linh Ung pagoda offer viewpoints, secret beaches and hiking trails.

Finally, My Khe beach , ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam.

------------------------

Hoi An , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and former trading port , reflects a unique blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese and Western influences, visible in its preserved architecture and living traditions.

The pedestrianized old town with its cobbled streets is lined with traditional yellow houses, illuminated at night by colorful lanterns, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere.

In the evening, attend shows like "Hoi An Memories" and explore the night market.

which made me uncomfortable

I arrived at Sun World Ba Na Hills after a ride on a motorbike, without really realizing that I would then have to take a twenty-minute cable car to reach the top.

Alone in the cabin, the swaying caused by the wind and the silence quickly made me uneasy. Each time it passed over the large pulleys, the cabin vibrated and creaked, amplifying my fears of a vertiginous fall.

The storm and rain at high altitude amplified my discomfort tenfold.

But once I arrived, I fully enjoyed the park's attractions.

On the way back, I joined a group of travelers. Their mere presence instantly calmed my fears: the journey was reassuring and smooth.

This experience reminded me that sometimes, human warmth is enough to calm our anxieties and make a difficult moment much more pleasant.

What I recommend
