Da Nang - The most livable city in Vietnam is always an attractive destination that any traveler wants to visit whenever Vietnam is mentioned. Not only blessed with majestic landscapes, Da Nang also attracts tourists with its modern lifestyle and rapid development in both urban and economic aspects. Mytour offers you all the tips and tricks for traveling on the Da Nang Tet 2024 tour.
1. Da Nang - A must-visit destination for travelers at least once
1.1 Convenient geographical location
Danang is a coastal city in Central Vietnam. Therefore, it is not only one of the most economically developed centrally-run cities in the country, but also nearly situated at the midpoint of the North-South route. Danang is 764 km from the capital Hanoi to the north, and 964 km from Ho Chi Minh City to the south, making it the central point of the country.
In addition, Danang is surrounded by famous landscapes and cultural heritages of neighboring provinces such as Hue, Hoi An, and My Son. Therefore, tourists can easily travel to other tourist destinations. Thanks to its convenient geographical location, tourists from the North or the South, or from all regions of the country can easily come here.
Furthermore, Danang has a railway station for North-South trains passing through, an international airport, and a bus station located in the city center, not far from tourist attractions. However, tourists should choose to go on the Danang Tet 2024 tour for easy transportation.
1.2 Mild weather
Throughout different times of the year, Danang exudes its own unique charm. During the Lunar New Year, Danang gradually transitions into spring, resulting in more pleasant weather with gentle sunshine, moderate temperatures, and less rain. Travelers looking to avoid the cold and rainy weather in the North during this time can opt for a trip to Danang.
Compared to the rainy season in Central Vietnam, visiting Danang during the Tet holiday is an even more ideal choice. It's one of the reasons why Tet is one of the peak periods for tourist arrivals in Danang, following the summer season.
2. Accommodation options during the Danang Tet 2024 tour
Accommodation services in Danang include two types catering to diverse traveler needs, such as staying near the beach or in the city center. Additionally, Danang offers various types of accommodations tailored to the preferences of guests.

3. Hot tourist spots for the Da Nang Tet 2024 tour
3.1 My Khe Beach
My Khe Beach is one of the few beaches in Vietnam that has been voted by Forbes magazine as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with clear blue water and pristine sandy shores.
Stretching for 10 kilometers along the coastline with lush coconut trees, My Khe offers travelers a poetic and peaceful beauty that is hard to resist. The allure of My Khe also comes from its smooth white sand and gentle waves alongside a modern and youthful city.
My Khe Beach is rated by tourism experts as one of the most beautiful beaches.
With only 60% salinity and no pollution, the marine vegetation in this area is extremely rich. Visitors strolling on My Khe Beach can easily spot valuable seaweeds such as sea grapes and golden sea moss.
My Khe Beach features three bathing areas for tourists around the Pham Van Dong area and Non Nuoc area. These three beaches can meet a variety of needs for travelers such as swimming, engaging in extreme water sports, and even hosting international kite surfing competitions.
This is a destination that both independent travelers and those on the Danang Tet 2024 tour must visit.
Son Tra Peninsula, together with Hai Van Pass, surrounds the city of Danang and Danang Bay, located about 10 km from the city center. Therefore, locals often liken Son Tra Peninsula to a shield, protecting the city of Danang whenever natural disasters strike.
In the past, Son Tra served as a connecting point for three islands. Over time, through silt deposition, Son Tra emerged as a land protruding into the open sea, forming the Son Tra Peninsula as it is today.
Not only does Son Tra offer picturesque coastal scenery, but it also holds historical significance in terms of its economic importance. Economically, Son Tra marks the endpoint of an east-west economic corridor originating from Myanmar. It also bears witness to the nation's heroic history, having witnessed numerous epic battles.

With its stunning beaches, Son Tra is increasingly becoming a popular destination for tourists. Notable beaches include Rang Beach, Tien Sa Beach, Black Rock Beach, and North Beach, among others.
Bai But stands out as the convergence of the ocean and the mountains. Beneath the sea lies vast coral reefs and the habitat of dugongs (sea turtles) being preserved. On the shore, pristine forests thrive, providing a habitat for the rare red-faced monkey species, listed in the Red Book of Endangered Animals.
En route to Son Tra, tourists should not miss the thousand-year-old banyan tree, the New Year's bridge at the sacred Linh Ung Pagoda, or the panoramic view of Danang from the summit of Ban Co Peak.
3.3 Marble Mountains
The Marble Mountains (also known as Non Nuoc Mountains) comprise six limestone peaks by the sea. They include Kim Son, Moc Son, Thuy Son, Hoa Son (Fire Mountain and Water Mountain), and Tho Son.
Linh Ung Pagoda sits atop Thuy Son Mountain, where visitors can come to pray for a peaceful and prosperous new year. That's why many people choose the Danang Tet 2024 tour as their first trip of the new year.

In addition to Thuy Son, Huyen Khong Cave is also a must-visit spot in Marble Mountains. Huyen Khong Cave has a natural skylight that floods the interior with light, making it the most scenic cave.
In contrast to Huyen Khong Cave, Am Phu Cave is famous for its gloomy and mysterious atmosphere, just like its name suggests. However, it is the largest cave in the Marble Mountains complex.
For spiritual enthusiasts, Mount Kim Son with the Quan The Am Pagoda is a must-visit destination at the beginning of the new year. Below Mount Kim Son lies a cave about 50m long adorned with beautiful stalactite formations. Particularly, these stalactites form a majestic statue of Guan Yin standing solemnly on a dragon.
3.4 Ba Na Hills
Ba Na Hills, home to the Golden Bridge with its unique architecture, is likened to a 'heavenly scene in the mortal realm,' located about 30-40km southwest of Da Nang.
Visiting Ba Na Hills, tourists can experience the sensation of gliding in the air and admire the panoramic view of Da Nang city from above. This will undoubtedly be an exciting activity for the Da Nang Tet 2024 tour.
An interesting fact you might not know: Ba Na Hills' cable car system was voted by CNN as one of the top ten most impressive cable car routes in the world.

3.5 Van Village
Despite the emergence of many other famous tourist destinations in recent years, Van Village remains a beloved tourist spot.
It is also known as the “first heroic landscape under the sky” due to its rustic yet incredibly beautiful scenery. Van Village (also known as Cui Village, Phong Village) is home to some residents at the foot of Hai Van Pass since the 1980s.
Van Village remains untouched, retaining the exquisite beauty of the azure sea.
Van Village presents itself to visitors with a stunning coastline harmonizing with the wild and majestic natural scenery. Additionally, the village attracts tourists with its mysterious houses. Camping near the coastline has become a favorite activity for visitors when visiting Van Village.
3.6 Dragon Bridge
Once you've chosen Da Nang Tet 2024 tour as your destination, don't forget to admire the spectacle of the dragon breathing fire and spraying water on the Dragon Bridge during the last days of the year. Moreover, this is also the venue for fireworks displays every Tet holiday in Da Nang city.

The hot springs are located within the Thần Tài tourist area, featuring various hot spring areas, healing caves, acupuncture ponds, and therapeutic treatments, helping guests to relieve fatigue, relax, and quickly rejuvenate their spirits.
3.8 Cù Lao Chàm
It would be a shame if travelers come to Da Nang but overlook the famous Cù Lao Chàm. Cù Lao Chàm, also known as Chiêm Bất Lao, is a group of 8 small islands.
Despite starting as a small archipelago, Cù Lao Chàm has been recognized by UNESCO as a world biosphere reserve and has begun to develop rapidly in tourism.
Visitors to Cù Lao Chàm will marvel at the pristine beauty, the combination of golden sand, blue sea, and white clouds, creating an extremely romantic atmosphere here.
The beaches that travelers should visit when going to Cù Lao Chàm are: Ông Cù Lao Chàm Beach, Xếp Beach, diving to admire coral reefs, or fishing activities on the sea with the locals, which are extremely exciting.

At the My Son Sanctuary, visitors can explore 7 artistic styles and temples of kings and royal families of the ancient Champa kingdom. Additionally, the My Son Sanctuary has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
4. What to eat on the Da Nang Tet 2024 tour?
Da Nang is a coastal city, and when it comes to the beach, travelers must enjoy the freshness of seafood that is just caught to experience it fully. Travelers can walk along Hoang Sa Street to choose fresh and unique seafood dishes.
In addition to seafood, travelers should also try traditional cakes, especially the specialties of the central region such as savory pancakes, steamed rice cakes, and mini pancakes to experience the essence of ethnic cuisine.
