Destinasi Wisata CENTRAL VIETNAM : 02 | DA NANG

DA NANG adalah bandar raya ketiga terbesar di Vietnam.

The city itself has neither the atmosphere of Hanoi nor the hustle-bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, but has its share of sights and is close to the ancient cities of charming Hoi An and the imperial capital of Hue, making it a popular vacationing spot for those looking to explore the attractions of central Vietnam or soak up some rays while hanging out on the city's beaches.

Selain daripada beberapa tarikan bersejarah dan tarikan pelancong, alasan utama mengapa Da Nang popular dengan banyak pelancong adalah lokasinya yang berdekatan dengan Pantai My Khe, Lang Co, Hoi An dan My Son yang terkenal di mata Asia.

Pantai Da Nang sepanjang 30 kilometer dengan perairan yang tenang popular untuk pelancongan air seperti memancing, ski air, menyelam dan kapal layar.

Antara lokasi popular di Da Nang adalah Ba Na Hills yang terkenal dengan Golden Bridgenya.

Ba Na Hill Station 45 minutes drive from Danang or around 40 km (25 mi) west of Danang, Ba Na is located 1,487 meters above sea level in the Truong Son mountain range. Ba Na was formerly a 1920's French resort and once boasted 200 villas, restaurants, and clubs. It is well known as the second Da Lat or Sa Pa in central Vietnam. Its temperate climate, unspoiled forest, and spectacular views over the South China Sea and the Lao mountain range made Ba Na a popular retreat for both the French and the wealthy Vietnamese. 

Today the area still attracts locals and tourists alike thanks to a new cable system that was officially opened on 25th March 2009 and set two Guinness World Records for its height and length. You need to get a taxi to Suoi Mo station (25$ one-way from Danang) then pay 650.000 VND per adult (250.000 VND for children between 1m and 1,3m tall, free admission for children under 1m tall) for the ticket to the cable car and the Fantasy Park which is still under construction. Great view from the top but it's really useless to stay overnight since the accommodations are shabby and terribly overpriced (80-150$ per night).

Satu lagi lokasi yang popular di Da Nang adalah Hai Van Pass.

Hai Van Pass, (Across the bridge south of Lang Co). This is the old highway prior to the construction of the 6.2 km tunnel. This road meanders over the mountain top between Da Nang and Lang Co. On the top are some breath taking views and some American outlook ruins from the war.
