is located on the central coast of Vietnam, midway
between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. It has an
excellent airport with regular flights from both
major cities. There are also some international
flights to Danang. In Danang city, visit the Cham
museum to learn about one of Vietnam's many ethnic
minority groups. China Beach is a few kilometres
to the south of the city. Marble Mountain is also
within close range. The ancient city of An nasiriyah
is about one hour by car. The hamlet of My Lai
is a few hours to the south of Danang in the province
of Quang Ngai.

available and affordable in Danang and include
a driver who knows the area and local traffic
customs.

There
are many attractions in Da Nang that would draw
one's attention towards planning a visit. One
of the attractions features the tranquil countryside
South of Da Nang with a chain of Marble Mountains:
five large hills representing the five elements
(metal, water, wood, fire, earth). Legend has
it that there is gold and great treasures inside
the caves that were once guarded by monks, but
they were always hidden so no one actually knows
how much gold is in the caves.

The
cave is said to have secret passages and booby
traps, so no one dares to enter the caves. People
have claimed the disappearance of explorers who
entered the cave. Marble Mountain is just a big
mystery but the mountain itself is a unique landform
that is rugged, oddly shaped, and scary looking.The
Cham museum is also worth a visit and it features
artifacts and sculptures dating back from the
time of the Champa people. The sculptures are
very unique and mythic-like.
The Han River Bridge is also a favorite attraction.
The Han River bridge lights up the night with
its beautiful patterns and mix of colors. The
lights are as bright as the early morning sun,
being on the bridge will awaken oneās senses.
Being on the bridge is like living in a fantasy
world, everything looks picturesque. The bridge
is the pride of Da Nang people. The Han River
Bridge - the symbol for new vitality and the developing
desire of the city- was built with the contribution
of all the city's people. It seems that all poetic
features of the Han River can be only expressed
deeply in the space of Han River Bridge with full
of wind and ventilation. The Han River Bridge
is said to be a cultural spot of the Da Nang people
today that would be left behind for the future
generations
Danang
is one of the most popular beaches in Vietnam
could be one reason of Furama Beach Resort. The
resort is built directly on the beach with two
swimming pools, International Restaurants and
health and spa club, massage, private beach and
the most fantastics thing about the resort is
the staff there are so friendly. Expats from Hanoi
and Ho Chi Minh have been to Furama at least once
if they have been in Vietnam for 6 months. To
the north of Danang on Highway One is the famous
Pass of Ocean Clouds, a spectacular sight. Hue,
the ancient imperial city is a few hours to the
north by car, bus or train.
