Experience 6 dreamlike yet tranquil locations in Da Nang
As one of Vietnam's cleanest and most beautiful tourist cities, Da Nang is renowned not only for its 3 UNESCO-recognized natural heritages but also for numerous other charming and captivating attractions that allure travelers.
Mount Bach Ma
Bach Ma is a stunning mountain range within Bach Ma National Park, standing at 1,450 meters high, marking the natural border between Thua Thien Hue province and Da Nang. Embark on a journey to Bach Ma, and you'll find yourself immersed in a fairyland with misty mountain peaks, fog-covered landscapes, reminiscent of a majestic yet serene watercolor painting.
If traveling from Da Nang, after crossing 3 mountain passes including Hai Van, Phuoc Tuong, and Gia Phu, passing through Lang Co Beach brings you to Bach Ma. Meanwhile, if starting from Hue city, the distance is only about 40 km.
Bach Ma remains a pristine and untouched destination, so it's not always possible to join a tour to the summit in case of solo travelers. During holidays, the chances are higher as more young people are becoming aware of Bach Ma.
Opting to stay overnight at the villas here, you can participate in various exciting tours: bird-watching in the early morning, exploring the wildlife at night, jungle trekking, and more.
Rang Beach
With its smooth sandy beach, rocky cliffs, clear and peaceful waters, Rang Beach is a wonderful gift of nature for those who love exploration.

Rang Beach boasts diverse natural wonders, with much of its area remaining untouched, making it a destination not only for sightseeing and relaxation but also for discovering many fascinating aspects.
Separated from residential areas, the beach is an ideal spot to sit by the shore, listening to the sweet melodies of the waves or immerse oneself in the azure waters, snorkeling to admire coral reefs. Especially on sunny days, visitors can witness the spectacular red sunset on the horizon.
Ho Hoa Trung Lake
Located in Hoa Lien commune (Hoa Vang, Da Nang), about 20km from the city center, Ho Hoa Trung is likened to the Tibetan plateau amidst Da Nang, featuring vast, flat green meadows surrounding the artificial lake.
This is the perfect place to experience traditional wooden boat rowing on the emerald river. These wooden boats are crafted by local fishermen for fish farming purposes and transportation around the lake.
Chessboard Peak
Travelers visiting Son Tra Peninsula mainly stop by Linh Ung Pagoda or Non Nuoc Beach, Rang Beach, and Black Rock Beach, but few explore the intriguing Chessboard Peak.
The winding road to the mountain top offers a journey through beautiful and romantic landscapes of the peninsula.
To reach the Chessboard Peak area, you have to climb a steep and steep staircase. It's best to climb Chessboard Peak in the early morning when the sun's rays are shimmering down, offering the most beautiful and enticing views of Da Nang. Alternatively, in the late afternoon, when the sun has set, the cool breeze around the peninsula makes it perfect to ascend Chessboard Peak at sunset, with the sun's reddish glow spreading over the water, creating a mystical scene.
Non Nuoc Beach
Non Nuoc Beach is located in Hoa Hai ward, Ngu Hanh Son district, Da Nang city. This is a 5 km long beach, like a green arc lying along the foot of Ngu Hanh Son mountain, with white sand forming a picturesque backdrop.
Visiting Non Nuoc Beach, besides relaxing and swimming, travelers can also combine it with a visit to the Ngu Hanh Son scenic area, where there are ancient temples, caves, and majestic landscapes.
To explore the fascinating nature of Non Nuoc Beach, travelers can walk barefoot on the smooth white sand or venture deep into the lush primeval forest, immersing themselves in the majestic natural scenery, the vast sea with its rich history and legends, deeply rooted in humanity and hospitality...
Nam O Reef
Nam O Reef is a relatively new tourist destination attracting visitors from near and far, as it is not commonly included in most Da Nang exploration itineraries by travel companies. However, Nam O Reef always sparks curiosity and excitement for those who have set foot here.
At times, the landscape of Nam O Reef may make travelers feel solitary yet it carries a beauty full of challenges, as the underwater reef reveals rocky outcrops that can toss waves at any time.
