Da Nang
Vietnam
"Beaches, Bridges & Mountain Views"
Da Nang combines long sandy beaches like My Khe with a lively riverside city famous for its bridges, including the fire-breathing Dragon Bridge on weekend nights. The Marble Mountains hide caves and pagodas, Son Tra Peninsula shelters the towering Lady Buddha statue, and the Ba Na Hills resort is home to the Golden Bridge held up by giant stone hands. UNESCO-listed Hoi An is only 45 minutes away, and the scenic Hai Van Pass leads north toward the imperial city of Hue.
