Attractions in Da Nang

The Cao Dai Temple in Da Nang is a colorful house of worship for Vietnam's indigenous Cao Dai religion, which blends Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Christianity. Its ornate interior features the all-seeing Divine Eye.

The Love Lock Bridge (Cầu Tình Yêu) is an illuminated pedestrian bridge on the Han River promenade, decorated with colourful dragon-head sculptures and adorned with padlocks left by couples. At night the bridge glows with LED lighting, creating a popular photo spot.

The Han River Bridge was Vietnam's first cable-stayed swing bridge, and it still performs a nightly rotation — opening to allow river traffic to pass. The spectacle of the 487-metre bridge pivoting 90 degrees on its central pier draws crowds each evening.

Dragon Bridge is a six-lane, 666-meter road bridge spanning the Han River, shaped like a giant golden dragon. Every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM, the dragon breathes fire and water — an unmissable Da Nang spectacle.

A cable-car gondola ascends Non Nuoc Marble Mountain, lifting riders above the surrounding stone-carving workshops for aerial views of the coastline and Hoi An beyond. The mid-station opens onto trail networks leading to temple caves and meditation grottoes within the mountain.

Ba Na Hills is a mountain resort at 1,487 meters elevation, reached by one of the world's longest cable car systems. It features the world-famous Golden Bridge, a French colonial village, and an amusement park, all wrapped in cool mountain air and frequent ethereal mist.

The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five limestone and marble hills named after the five elements: water, wood, fire, metal, and earth. Thuy Son (Water Mountain) is the most visited, honeycombed with caves, grottoes, and Buddhist pagodas.

Phap Lam Pagoda is one of Da Nang's most significant Buddhist temples, featuring a large brass Amitabha Buddha statue, ornate prayer halls, and peaceful gardens in the heart of the city.

Da Nang Cathedral (known locally as Con Ga Church for the rooster weathervane on its spire) is a charming pink-hued Gothic church built during French colonial rule. It is the only Western-style church in Da Nang.

Linh Ung Pagoda sits on the Son Tra Peninsula overlooking the East Sea, dominated by a 67-meter-tall Lady Buddha statue — the tallest in Vietnam. The serene temple complex offers both spiritual atmosphere and breathtaking coastal panoramas.

Linh Ung Pagoda commands a hilltop on the Son Tra Peninsula, its 67-metre Lady Buddha statue — the tallest in Vietnam — gazing protectively over Da Nang Bay. The pagoda's terraced gardens descend through ornamental bonsai, dragon sculptures and meditation halls.
