thing to do in da nang

Not a thing to do in Da Nang, you just see traffic, smell smoke from vehicles. That why Danang is often missed by traveler coming to Vietnam. If you are looking for a good destination, I think Da Nang should be on your plan. Da nang has a few activities, attractions…” Someone tell me.

In my mind, Da Nang is the fastest developing, the lively city. It has a lot of thing to do in Da Nang and these are reason why I love this city:

  1. Do some shopping

Han Market

I am not impressed by designer shops, café or malls but da Nang is great if you want to see a real local market in Vietnam. Or should drop in Han market or Con market to buy cheap food, sweet candy and what how life happens in these crowed markets.

  1. Visiting Monkey Mountain and Linh Ung pagoda.

This place is my favorite place in Da Nang. I love Huyen Khong cave and the small temple inside. You find your space – peacefully and quite here. It opposite with the local life in the foot of mountain, the scaring village.

  1. Have fun at Asia Park

Asia Park Da Nang

This place is as good as it gets for a theme park. With all the modern rides and amenities its a great place for kids and adults. I suggest this spot in the evenings when its cooler and you can see the lights around. The sun wheel is the major attraction and takes about 15mins for a complete loop. There is a mono rail which on a moon light night can be spectacular. Food options are limited and like most parks you really need to walk up!

  1. Sunbathe at My Khe beach

  1. See the fire-breathing dragon

Da Nang famous with the city of the bridges. And the special is Dragon Bridge in the city center. It not only is beautiful lit during the night, but also spits fire at 9h00 every Saturday. Amazing!
