This guided excursion also includes Da Nang’s key cultural and historical sites from ancient pagodas and artisan villages to Cham relics and war-era radar stations perfect for travelers who want to uncover the hidden charms of central Vietnam.
Excursion Overview
Begin your day with a visit to the Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son), a cluster of marble and limestone hills known for their natural caves, mountaintop views, and historic pagodas. Stroll through the local stone carving village and learn about traditional craftsmanship. Continue on to the Cham Museum, home to the most extensive collection of Cham artifacts in Vietnam.
After lunch, head to the Son Tra Peninsula, where you’ll visit Linh Ung Pagoda, featuring Vietnam’s tallest Lady Buddha statue and stunning views of the East Sea. The area’s cool mountain air and peaceful surroundings offer a refreshing escape from the city.
Optional: Venture higher to Ban Co Peak, perched at 250 meters above sea level, for a breathtaking panoramic view of Da Nang. You may also stop at ancient banyan trees, explore dense forest trails, and with luck spot endangered red-shanked douc langurs, a rare primate species native to the area.
End the day with a relaxing drive along the Da Nang coastline, pausing to visit DHC Marina and the iconic Dragon Carp statue by the Han River. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon, with time to stroll along Da Nang’s beautiful white-sand beach before sunset.
