Things to do in Dong Hoi

My Khe Beach is one of Da Nang's most beautiful beaches, with soft white sand and crystal-clear water. I highly recommend visiting early in the morning, around sunrise, when the weather is cool, the sea is calm, and the beach is peaceful. It's the perfect time for a refreshing swim, a relaxing walk, or watching local people start their day. The fresh atmosphere and stunning sunrise make the experience truly unforgettable.

Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang is an absolutely underrated tourist destination. Besides its stunning coastline and lush primeval forests, the peninsula boasts numerous historical sites, including the ruins of French colonial fortifications and the former site of a radar station used by the US military during the Vietnam War. Visitors can explore the French-style churches and monuments on the western side of the peninsula on foot or by bicycle, experiencing the historical imprints of different eras. Of course, combining this with the Linh Ung Pagoda makes it an even more exceptional destination.

Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is not just a bridge- it's a spectacular show and one of the city's brightest highlights. It looks especially beautiful in the evening, with colorful lights, reflections on the Han River, and a lively, festive atmosphere

The atmosphere is top-notch, transporting you to another era. The various shops selling silk, souvenirs, and leather create the atmosphere of two hundred years ago. The town is decorated with lanterns. I understand that this mountain had strong Chinese and Japanese communities, so the town is colorful, full of tourists and food, like any market town. I downgraded my rating because of the crowds. But if you come in the morning or afternoon, you'll avoid them. I really enjoyed everything; I truly enjoyed shopping and exploring. But beware of cyclists.

The day I went there were a lot of people, making it a bit difficult to take photos, but when I did, I got some beautiful photos.

A magical encounter in Da Nang city for travelers, to actually witness this historical building, that is very unique in its architectural features, and its pastel coat. During its opening hours, visitors are welcomed to roam inside, at the front yard, to get a closer look. The best time to go would be in the morning, or just before sunset in the evening, when the color of the building gets really soft and beautiful.

One of the most important Buddhist structure, built in 1601 dedicated to the Celestial Goddess, and also serves as the main shrine frequently patronized by the Nguyen Emperors.

Great beach with nice sand. It's a long stretch of beach that is lined with restaurants and loungers. You can swim but the waves are quite big so be careful.b

I stay near Mykhe Beach and I took a Grab bike which is about 15 mins. it was quite busy when I went around 11am but better to take bike if you’re alone. Nice place to walk around as there are a few temples inside and other deities to see. The place is not big. You can probably cover the whole place in 30 mins. I suggest walking down and then have coffee overlooking the Danang Beach.
