Chill at My Khe Beach's soft sands
My Khe Beach goes on for miles with its soft white sands and gentle waves. It's a favorite hangout for both locals and tourists, especially in the early morning when joggers and yoga lovers come out to enjoy the calm. You can rent a beach chair for about 50,000 VND and sip on a cold coconut while watching the sunrise. Just a heads up, it can get a bit crowded during peak season from June to August. If you want a quieter vibe, swing by in the late afternoon when the sun starts to set.
Stroll across the Golden Bridge held by giant hands
The Golden Bridge, with its amazing design of giant stone hands holding up a golden walkway, is in the Ba Na Hills. It gives you a unique view of the mountains and valleys around. Getting in costs about 750,000 VND, which includes a cable car ride. While the bridge is a popular spot for photos, it can get busy, especially on weekends. If you get there early in the morning, you can dodge the crowds and enjoy the view in peace. Don’t forget to check out the nearby gardens and attractions after you’re done.
Check out the Linh Ung Pagoda for some peace
Linh Ung Pagoda, located on the Son Tra Peninsula, features a 67-meter tall statue of the Lady Buddha. The place has a calm vibe, perfect for some reflection. Entry is free, but be ready for a steep walk up the hill. The pagoda is less crowded on weekdays, making for a more peaceful visit. Take your time to admire the intricate architecture and soak in the views of Da Nang from the top. There are some steps to climb, but the journey is worth it if you're looking for a little escape from the city's hustle.
