Attractions around Chan May Da Nang Port

Canh Duong Beach and Lang Co Beach are really close to the port, very convenient if you just want to chill by the beach. These beaches are not that well-known, so it’s still pristine and absolutely beautiful.

Hai Van Pass is one of the most challenging yet rewarding routes in Vietnam. If you have some time to spare, take this path instead of the tunnels and feast your eyes!

Most people opt for the tunnels, so there will be no traffic

There is also Bach Ma National Park that stretches from the east coast to the western mountain ranges of Laos, an ideal choice for those nature enthusiasts. Check out more national parks in Vietnam.

Da Nang Day Excursions

This “Vietnamese Singapore” city has so much to offer. You can chill by stunning beaches like My Khe or Non Nuoc. You can even go the extra mile by getting to the glamorous Cu Lao Cham island for a snorkeling session looking for coral reefs.

If you are more interested in attractions unique to the area, we suggest you check out Marble Mountains - a group of 5 limestone outcrops that represents the 5 natural elements, drop by Cham Museum for a cultural dose, stroll around the local Han Market, and take a look at the iconic Dragon Bridge.
