Views & landmarks

Dragon River Bridge

This iron bridge across the river is shaped like a dragon, its entire body forming the creature. It's best enjoyed from the riverbank alongside the night view rather than crossed on foot or by car — it lights up after dark, and on weekend evenings the dragon's head sometimes breathes fire or spouts water.

Temples & religious sites

Roman Catholic Diocese of Đà Nẵng

The Diocese of Da Nang is a Roman Catholic diocese covering central Vietnam, established in its current form on January 18, 1963, and is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Hue. Travelers typically visit not the diocesan offices themselves but the diocese's cathedral, Da Nang Cathedral (the Pink Church), known for its French colonial-era architecture and pink facade.

Temples & religious sites

Japanese Bridge

The Japanese Bridge is a covered wooden bridge over a small stream in Hoi An's old town, with a small temple built into its center. It is believed to have been built by Japanese merchants living in the area in the late 16th century, and has since been repaired and restored several times to reach its present form.

Nature

Hai Van Pass

Hai Van Pass is a roughly 21-kilometer mountain road crossing a spur of the Annamite Range on the border between Da Nang and Hue, carrying National Route 1. From its summit you can take in the South China Sea coastline, the city of Da Nang, and Lang Co Bay all at once, and the ruins of an old gate recall the area's past as the border between Champa and Dai Viet — true to its name, 'Ocean Cloud Pass,' it's also often shrouded in fog.

Views & landmarks

Han River Bridge

The Han River Bridge (Cầu Sông Hàn) is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Han River through downtown Da Nang. It was the city's first bridge designed and built entirely by Vietnamese engineers, and it remains the only swing bridge in Vietnam.

Museums & galleries

Museum of Cham Sculpture

The Museum of Cham Sculpture is located in Hai Chau District, Da Nang, on the west bank of the Han River, and houses sandstone carvings and artifacts left by the ancient Champa Kingdom. It brings together stone sculptures recovered from sites across central Vietnam, making it a good choice for travelers who want to see Champa's distinctive carving style and religious symbolism — shaped by Angkorian and Indian influences — in a relatively short visit.

Nature

Ngũ Hành Sơn

The Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) are a cluster of five marble and limestone hills south of downtown Da Nang. Each peak is named after one of the five elements: metal, water, wood, fire, and earth.
