City overview
Da Nang is Central Vietnam's beach-and-river city, set between the South China Sea, the Han River, the Marble Mountains, and the green Son Tra Peninsula. My Khe and My An carry the resort-and-surf stay, Hai Chau holds the river bridges and markets, and Ngu Hanh Son points travelers toward caves, stone villages, and day trips without letting nearby Hoi An become the headline.
Food & drink
Da Nang is the place to eat mì Quảng, bún chả cá, bánh tráng cuốn thịt heo, bánh xèo, cao lầu-style noodles, and grilled seafood without Hoi An prices. Han Market, Con Market, My An seafood streets, and An Thuong cafes give the city a practical food circuit from breakfast to late beer.

Neighborhoods
1Hai Chau and Bach Dang riverfront
Hai Chau is the downtown spine, with Han Market, Da Nang Cathedral, Bach Dang promenade, the Cham Sculpture Museum, and the western bridgeheads packed close together.
2My Khe and Phuoc My
My Khe and Phuoc My feel like the hotel-and-beach strip, with Vo Nguyen Giap towers, seafood restaurants, sunrise swimmers, and quick taxi access to Dragon Bridge.
3My An and An Thuong
My An is the backpacker-and-expat pocket behind the beach, with An Thuong lanes, cafes, bars, massage shops, and easy walks to the sand.
4Son Tra Peninsula
Son Tra is green, steep, and scenic, with Linh Ung Pagoda, InterContinental road views, monkey habitat, and quiet coves beyond the city grid.
5Ngu Hanh Son and Non Nuoc
Ngu Hanh Son is the cave-and-resort side of Da Nang, anchored by Marble Mountains, Non Nuoc stone carving, golf resorts, and the coastal road toward Hoi An.
6Thanh Khe and the airport side
Thanh Khe is more residential and transport-focused, with Da Nang railway station, local markets, airport access, and fewer resort services than the beach.
Day trips
30km / 45min by shuttle, taxi, or motorbike from My Khe
Hoi An
The lantern-lit old trading town is the easiest day trip, with Japanese Bridge lanes, tailors, river boats, and An Bang Beach. Leave Da Nang before sunset if you want dinner inside the old town.
100km / 2.5h by train from Da Nang station via the Hai Van Pass
Hue
The former imperial capital adds the Citadel, royal tombs, pagodas, and Perfume River food culture. The train ride over the pass is part of the trip.
70km / 1.5h by car from Da Nang
My Son Sanctuary
The Cham temple ruins sit in a valley southwest of the city, with brick towers and linga shrines connected to the same culture shown in the Cham Sculpture Museum.
Getting around
Grab cars and motorbikes are the simplest way to move between beach hotels, Hai Chau, Marble Mountains, and Son Tra, while taxis from Mai Linh and Taxi Xanh are common at hotels. City buses #6 and #10 connect the airport, Han River, and My Khe cheaply, but most visitors use taxis for hot or rainy cross-river trips.
