Linh Ung Pagoda
Linh Ung Pagoda, located in the Son Tra Peninsula tourist area - Da Nang, is the largest, newest, and most beautiful among the three Linh Ung Pagodas in Da Nang. The highlight of Linh Ung Pagoda is the statue of Quan The Am Buddha, considered the tallest in Vietnam (67m).
Situated 10 km northeast of Da Nang city center, at an altitude of 693 meters above sea level, the pagoda is regarded as a special gift generously bestowed by nature upon Da Nang city.
Ban Co Peak
The winding road leading to the mountain peak offers travelers a chance to experience the stunning and poetic natural landscapes of the Son Tra Peninsula tourist area. As you journey from the base of the peninsula to Ban Co Peak, all fatigue fades away, replaced by the vast, heavenly scenery that feels like a paradise on earth.
The best time to reach Ban Co Peak is early in the morning, when the city is still asleep. From here, visitors can witness the first rays of sunlight peeking over the mountains and enjoy a panoramic view of Da Nang. In the distance lies a bustling city filled with towering buildings and the iconic bridges spanning the Han River.
The Thousand-Year-Old Banyan Tree
Among the cluster of banyan trees in sub-zone 63, one stands out for its exceptional beauty, with numerous aerial roots descending into the ground, creating a unique sight rarely seen elsewhere. Many refer to this ancient banyan as the Centennial Tree or the Thousand-Year-Old Banyan. Recognized as a heritage tree of the city, it attracts numerous tourists who come to relax, unwind, and capture memorable photos to commemorate their visit to this majestic natural wonder.
Tien Sa Port
Alongside Han River Port, Tien Sa Port holds a strategic position within Da Nang's port system, playing a vital role in advancing the city's and Central Vietnam's maritime tourism economy, both now and in the future.
Tien Sa Port is a natural deep-water port capable of accommodating large vessels, offering significant potential for tourism development. Beyond handling international cruise ships arriving in Da Nang, the port itself has inadvertently created a stunning landscape for visitors to enjoy.
Black Rock Beach
Tucked away on the northern edge of the Son Tra Peninsula, Black Rock Beach remains remarkably pristine, despite being just over an hour's boat ride from the heart of Da Nang. To reach this hidden gem, visitors must travel by water, starting from the Han River, passing Tien Sa Port, and continuing through the Tien Sa tourist area until they arrive at Black Rock Beach.
The beach is adorned with large black rocks, stacked in intriguing formations that create stunning visual perspectives. Sheltered by these massive rocks, the waters here remain crystal clear year-round, with gentle waves perfect for swimming, fishing, snorkeling to explore coral reefs, or simply relaxing and unwinding.
Nghe Cape
Nghe Cape (Hon Nghe), located in the southeastern part of the Son Tra Peninsula, is the first place in Da Nang to greet the sunrise.
At Nghe Cape, scuba diving services are being developed due to their high potential, as this area is home to over 42 rare coral species. Additionally, taking advantage of the abundant marine life, fishing tours with local fishermen are also highly popular among visitors.
Bac Beach
Bac Beach, facing northeast, consists of two rocky outcrops, East and West. From around October to November in the lunar calendar, the area is covered with dark green seaweed clinging to the rocks along these outcrops. Locals call this seaweed 'mut,' a natural delicacy that can be eaten raw or cooked with anchovies or lizardfish, offering a unique culinary experience.
Thanks to its breathtaking scenery, Bac Beach was chosen as the location for the luxurious 5-star InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, recognized as one of Asia's most prestigious new retreats.
