What to see in Da Nang

1. Plage de My Khe
   A long stretch of fine sand facing the South China Sea, right at the edge of the city.
2. Pont du Dragon
   This large dragon-shaped bridge spans the Hàn River and has become Da Nang's modern emblem.
3. Montagnes de Marbre
   Five peaks of marble and limestone rise from a flat coastal plain, with caves that hold Buddhist pagodas and shrines.
4. Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge
   Set high in the Bà Nà hills, well above the heat of the coast, this hill station is best known for a footbridge held up by two giant stone hands.
5. Pagode Linh Ung (Son Tra)
   Set on the Son Tra peninsula, this pagoda is dominated by a huge white statue of Quan Am, the goddess of compassion, gazing out to sea.
6. Marché Han
   Han Market is the big neighbourhood market in central Da Nang, close to the Hàn River.
7. Musée de la sculpture cham
   This is the best introduction to the Champa civilization, with carved sandstone that tells of a kingdom where Hindu belief and local art met.
8. Madame Lan
   This large yellow house on the Han riverfront, hung with Hoi An style lanterns, is an easy way to taste Vietnamese cooking from all three regions without leaving central Da Nang.
