Danang-where relaxing and visiting many beautiful places
Danang, a coastal city in the central region, is a
place where you can relax and visit many beautiful places. With all the hills,
mountains, islands and sea, Danang is always filled with fresh air.
The city of Danang is located close to plains, hills, mountains, islands, and
the sea. Its climate is temperate and there are many historical and cultural
sites in and around the city. The tourism sector of Danang offers a variety of
tourism products.
Approximately 13km east from the center of Danang is the large Son Tra
Peninsula. From a distance, the peninsula looks like a mushroom that sits 693m
over the water. The cap of this mushroom is the Son Tra Mountain, and the stem
is the Son Tra Beach with smooth, white sand - an ideal place to play sports and
enjoy fishing or swimming.
The Son Tra Peninsula is a national park where many species of wild animals and
plant varieties are preserved and fresh water is available. On the Son Tra
Peninsula there’s a 4,370ha primeval forest. With the green of forest trees and
the blue color of seawater, the Son Tra Peninsula has a romantic but imposing
beauty.
On the Son Tra Peninsula, one can enjoy the fresh air and contemplate the
wonderful natural landscape of this place, and learn about the lives of
fishermen here. They can also enjoy various kinds of seafood.
Not very far from the Son Tra Peninsula to the south is the Ngu Hanh Son
mountain range, which is a special attraction of the entire central region.
The Ngu Hanh Son mountain range consists of six limestone mountains, each with
its own name. The legend is that there was a sea dragon that flew to the
seashore and laid some eggs. After 1,000 days the eggs hatched and out of one
came a beautiful girl. The egg shell became the five mountains, which were then
named by Lord Nguyen after the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, earth.
The northern-most mountain is called Thuy Son (Water Mountain), the one to the
east is Moc Son (Wood Mountain), to the west is Kim Son (Metal Mountain), to the
south is Hoa Son (Fire Mountain) and in the middle is Tho Son (Earth Mountain).
Hoa Son is actually two small mountains, Duong Hai Son and Am Hoa Son. So, you
can say that the Ngu Hanh Son mountain range consists of six mountains - your
choice. But regardless, it also has many caves.
At Ngu Hanh Son there is also a famous pagoda, named Chua Khong, and the Tang
Chon Cave. The six Ngu Hanh Son mountains are adjacent to the Non Nuoc Beach,
one of the six most beautiful beaches in the world.
Not far to the west of Danang is a large mountainous area that is adjacent to
the Truong Son mountain range. In this area there are primeval forests with
various animals and plants. There are also old houses built in the French style.
In the area of the Ba Na Mountain Range there are adequate tourist facilities,
including villas, restaurants and a modern cable car to take visitors from Vong
Nguyet Hill to the highest mountain, 1,400m above the sea. From the top of this
mountain one gets a panorama view of Danang - the city on the banks of the
charming Han River.
When it’s not raining at the Ba Na mountaintop, one can perhaps watch it raining
below. At the Ba Na mountaintop, the weather keeps changing so that people can
see and feel the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, all within one
day.
The Museum of Cham Sculpture, in the center of Danang, is enjoyed by almost
every visitor to the city. This museum was built in 1915. It preserves and has
on display thousands of Cham sculptures that are from between the seventh and
the 15th centuries.
Leaving the center of Danang and going to the north one can see Hai Van Pass -
an imposing picture created by nature. From the top of the Hai Van Pass one can
see an overview of Danang - a young city that is changing everyday.
