What to do in Thang Binh

My Khe Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Da Nang, a beautiful stretch of white sand and clear water. With calm seas and light winds, it is a superb place to visit for a swim, especially if you have young children with you.

The Dragon Bridge provides a feast for the eyes in central Da Nang, with its yellow tail and fearsome head stretching across the Hàn River. The impressive architectural display can even breathe fire and spit water, to the delight of gathering crowds. Capture photos of the yellow beast from the city’s enchanting riverside area.

Go on a culinary adventure through Central Market, a riverside marketplace filled with stalls selling herbs, spices, live poultry and fresh produce. Try local specialty dishes and Vietnamese favorites in the food hall and shop for souvenirs and clothing.

Set off on a gentle evening cruise down the Han River and gaze across the water to view the sparkling city skyline. Enjoy a drink in one of the scenic waterfront bars and admire the spectacular bridges that reach across the Han River toward the Son Tra Peninsula.

Cua Dai Beach offers respite from the heat and crowds of central Hoi An. It is located roughly 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) northeast of the city. The beach is a sizeable stretch of well-kept sand. Though it has its fair share of tourist resorts, Cua Dai is usually fairly peaceful and especially quiet during the week.

Non Nuoc Beach sweeps across 5 kilometres (3 miles) of Da Nang’s stunning coastline at the foot of the Marble Mountains. Relax on this beautiful white sandy expanse, flanked by a forest of casuarina trees. Then explore nearby caves and their ancient temples and stone statues.
