Da Nang Sightseeings |
NON NUOC BEACH: Non Nuoc Beach runs for 5 km along the Marble Mountain
in Da Nang. It is bordered by Dien Ngoc Sea to the south and Da Nang to the north.
The beach gently slopes towards the calm, clear and blue ocean; the clarity of the
water attracts people who come to swim and enjoy the seafood.
The area is famous for seaweed, which is exported internationally. Many five-star
hotels have been built in Non Nuoc to accommodate both domestic and foreign tourists.
MARBLE MOUNTAINS: The Marble Mountains, also called Ngu Hanh Son or Mountains of
the Five Element, consist of five peaks : Thuy Son (water) which is the highest,
Moc Son (wood), Kim Son (metal) , Tho Son (soil) and Hoa Son (fire). They are located
12 km west of Da Nang.
Thuy Son has developed into a popular tourist resort because of its alluring beauty.
Stone steps carved into the mountain lead to Tam Thai Pagoda and Huyen Khong Cave.
HAI VAN PASS: Traveling Hai Van Pass, two feelings are usually
experienced: amazement at passing through the clouds and fear of the dangerous bends
of the road. It is located 1,500m above sea level. Its name means "pass of the ocean
clouds", as the peak of the mountain is above cloud level while its foot is close
to the sea. From the top of Hai Van Pass, one can admire Lang Co Beach to the north
and Danang to the south. Endless forests stretch out west of the pass and the ocean
is to the east.
CHAM MUSEUM: The Cham museum is located at the intersection of
Trung Nu Vuong and Bach Dang streets in Danang. It was built in 1915 with financial
support from the French Far-East Research Institute in Vietnam.
This museum owns the most extensive collection of Cham art in the world. In the
past, the capital of the Champa nation was located in present-day Danang. Other
famous sites include Tra Kieu, Dong Duong, My Son and Thap Man.
The museum was built in Cham architectural style, using thin lines that are simple
and gentle. The style originates from the period between the fifth and 15th centuries,
when a matriarchal society prevailed.
More than 300 interesting sculptural statues and bas-reliefs have been collected
from different sites of the ancient Champa Kingdom and preserved in this special
museum.
