ATTRACTIONS & SIGHTSEEINGS IN HOI AN, DA NANG

Hoi An Town Center

You are entering the Hoi An Old Town UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites, which is managed by Hoi An Centre for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation, a department of the People's Committee of Hoi An which was established in 1996 and was instrumental in the nomination of Hoi An to UNESCO for inclusion in the World Heritage List in 1999. Now based at the Hoi An Museum of History and Culture, its activities have included researching the history, culture and artistic values of Hoi An, zoning of areas of significant value and classifying historic structures and carrying out conservation, restoration preservation and museological work with the aim of conserving Hoi An's estimated 1,437 historical and cultural relics (201 figures), which included 24 historical relics, 1,335 art and architecture relics, 70 archeological relics, and eight sights. 

Foreign visitors pay 120,000 VND for a ticket that offers access to five different heritage buildings from the list of 20 heritage attractions.

 

Cù Lao Chàm - Hòn Lao Island

Located around 22km by boat from Hội An, Cù Lao Chàm is an archipelago comprising eight islands - the main island Hòn Lao and the small islands Hòn Lá, Hòn Dài and Hòn Tai, plus four rocky outcrops - Hòn Khô Lớn and Hòn Khô Nhỏ, Hòn Mồ, and around 20 km southeast of the other islands, the remote Hòn Ông. Together they occupy a total land area of over 15 km2, of which forest accounts for about 90%. The largest island is Hòn Lao and the smallest is Hòn Kho Con; only Hòn Lao is inhabited. The islands are renowned for their marine species, including corals, mollusks, crustaceans and seaweed. Cù Lao Chàm was recognised in May 2009 as a UNESCO Biosphere Reseve.
 
 

 

Southwest of Hội An - Mỹ Sơn

Head west out of Central Hội An along Hùng Vương street, following the road all the way to Vĩnh Điện, then turn south on National Road 1A, almost immediately crossing the Thu Bồn River by the new bridge. On your right as you cross the river you will see the original 620m long Câu Lâu Bridge, still in use today, which was originally built in 1966 as the "Liberty Bridge" by US Naval Facilities Engineering Command Naval Construction Force,popularly known as the Seabeees.

Around 2km beyond the river bridge you will arrive at the Nam Phuoc junction in xã Duy Phước, Duy Xuyên district; fork right here onto the DT610 (also known as Hùng Vương street), which lead west.

Around 3.5km later you will pass through a built-up area which was once the Mã Châu Silk Weaving Village, one of Quảng Nam's best known traditional craft villages, though sadly today there is very little evidence of that.

Continue through Trà Kiệu (6.5 km from Nam Phước) and Duy Hòa (18.5km from Nam Phước). From Duy Hòa, fork left onto an unnamed road which takes you further 9km south to Mỹ Sơn.

Located in a valley some 25k as the crow flies southwest of Hội An, the Mỹ Sơn Chàm temples are Vietnam's most important Chàm temple complex. Frequently compared to South East Asia's other major temple complexes such as Angkor Wat, Borobudur, Pagan and Ayutthaya, Mỹ Sơn was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1999.

 

Marble Mountains - Ngũ Hành Sơn

Address: Đường Huyền Trân Công Chúa, phường Hòa Hải, quận Ngũ Hành Sơn, thành phố Đà Nẵng

Admission: 40,000 VND plus 15,000 each way for an elevator to the summit.

Located around 10kms southeast of Đà Nẵng and 20 km northeast of Hội An, the Marble Mountains, meaning "Five elements mountains" is a cluster of five marble and limestone outcrops located in a 2km^2 area midway  between the Son Tra peninsula's Trường Sơn (Ocean) and Lê văn Hiến (West) roads. Each of the five "mountains" is named after an element - Kim Son (metal), Mộc Sơn (wood), Thủy Sơn (water), Hỏa Sơn (Fire with two peaks) and Thổ Sơn (earth). All but one - Mộc Sơn - have pagodas and caves, but Thủy sơn is the largest and most beautiful and therefore the one which is most visited by tourists.

 

Dragon Bridge - the award-winning design

On Nguyễn Văn Linh junction was designed by Louis Berger and Ammann & Whitney following an international design competition. Construction commenced in July 2009 and the bridge opened to traffic on 29th March 2013, the 38th anniversary of the fall of Đà Nẵng in 1975. The bridge has eight spans and measures 666m long by 37.5m wide. The structure includes a series of tubular arches designed to resemble a Lý dynasty dragon, each incorporating LED lights that illuminate the structure at night, "flowing through the colour spectrum and giving dynamic, dazzling views which reflect off the surface of the river." The dragon's head also has  the capability to "breathe" fire or water- special shows were once staged every Saturday and Sunday evening, though these days they held less frequently.

 

Ba Na Hill Da Nang

Bà Nà Hill Station (or Bà Nà Hills or Sun World Ba Na Hills) is a hill station and resort located in the Trường Sơn Mountains west of the city of Da Nang, in central Vietnam. The station, advertised as "the Da Lat of Danang province" by local tourism authorities, was founded in 1919 by French colonists. The colonists had built a resort to be used as a leisure destination for French tourists. Being located 1500 metres above sea level, it has a view of the East Sea and the surrounding mountains.

Due to the elevation of the resort, the temperature is cooler than the environment near the coast. Linh Ung Pagoda is situated near the station, with a cable car nearby to carry tourists to and from the resort.

Ba Na resort cable cars
The Ba Na Cable Car, opened on 29 March 2013, holds the world record for longest non-stop single track cable car at 5,801 metres (19,032 ft) in length.[4] Its latest tourist attraction is the Golden Bridge (Cầu Vàng).

The hill station is located at an elevation of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft), 42 kilometres (26 mi) from Da Nang.

In 2021 Ba Na Hills added their 6th Cable Car to the park, made by Doppelmayr and managed by Sun World, Sun Group.

KID ATTRACTIONS

Cua Dai Beach
It is situated on Cam An Ward, roughly 4km away from the centre of Hoi An Town - Quang Nam Province. It is always listed as one of top beaches of Vietnam owing to its pristine soft white sand, crystal-clear yet deep blue water, crispy sunshine, cool salty breeze, slightly sloped sea floor and the gentle waves.
 


An Bang Beach
An Bang Beach is a beautiful 4km stretch of sand north of its neighbouring beach, Cua Dai. Since the recent erosion at Cua Dai Beach, resulting in the loss of sand and a few businesses, more locals and tourists now flock to An Bang Beach. This hippie-vibe beach village attracts more and more people each year, with its laid-back restaurants, late-night bars, water sport activities and live music. An Bang Beach also caught a lot of media attention in 2016 featuring in CNN’s list of Top 100 Best Beaches in the World.
