Vietnam is a large country that stretches from north to south. Da Nang is located in the center of the country. After a month of preparation, I have developed a one-week travel itinerary that I would like to share with you.

You can find all the locations on Google Maps and add them to your itinerary.

Lady Buddha

Lady Buddha in Da Nang is one of the tallest statues in Vietnam, located within the Linh Ung Pagoda complex. Standing 67 meters tall, the statue was completed in 2010 and is dedicated to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. According to local beliefs, she protects the city and sailors from storms.It’s also one of the best viewpoints in Da Nang, offering panoramic views of the sea and the city. The site beautifully reflects Vietnamese culture and provides plenty of great photo opportunities.

Ba Na Hills

One of Vietnam’s most famous tourist attractions, located in the mountains near Da Nang at an altitude of around 1,500 meters. Originally built as a French hill station, it has since been transformed into a theme park featuring a French-style village and the iconic Golden Bridge. Visitors can reach the complex via one of the world’s longest cable cars while enjoying spectacular views of the mountains and jungle below.

The entrance fee is fairly high, and most of what you see today is newly built.

What impressed me the most, though, was the sheer number of flowers. Roses. Hydrangeas. Absolutely stunning.

Mountains

The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five limestone and marble hills located between Da Nang and Hoi An. Hidden within the mountains are caves, Buddhist temples, and viewpoints overlooking the coastline. For centuries, the area has been considered a spiritual center and is now one of the most popular natural attractions in central Vietnam.
Hai Van Pass is one of the most scenic mountain roads in Vietnam, connecting Da Nang and Hue. At the summit stand the ruins of Hai Van Gate, a fortress built in the 19th century to protect the imperial capital. Today, visitors come for the breathtaking views of the sea, mountains, and winding roads, often regarded as one of the most beautiful coastal drives in Asia.

Waterfronts

The swimming season here is different from Phuket, with spring being the best time to enjoy the sea. Long sandy promenades stretch along the coastline, making them perfect for leisurely walks and soaking in the fresh ocean air.

Hoi An

A remarkably well-preserved historic town in Vietnam, located about 30 kilometers from Da Nang. From the 15th to the 19th century, it was a major trading port where merchants from China, Japan, and Europe came together. Today, Hoi An is famous for its yellow colonial buildings, narrow streets, colorful lanterns, and the unique atmosphere of its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.

Hoi An is especially beautiful in the evening, when thousands of lanterns illuminate the streets and the Thu Bon River.

Coffee

There’s no shortage of charming little cafés tucked away in hidden corners. Beautiful interiors, great coffee, delicious pastries, and surprisingly reasonable prices make them a pleasure to discover.

May the fast aperture be with you!

I don’t have any sponsors, so I’d really appreciate it if you shared this guide on social media if you found it useful—or followed me on social media.
