The continent wishes to remind international visitors of what they may be missing out on.”

Da Nang is “one of the most successful examples of Asia's post-Covid tourism recovery”. In the first 9 months of 2023, Da Nang welcomed more than 1.6 million international visitors, exceeding the target set at the beginning of the year of welcoming 1.5 million. Many international flights have reopened from Da Nang airport, contributing to bringing more tourists to the city.

Son Tra Peninsula, located 20 minutes from the city center, is also a tourist attraction, which has the 17-storey, 67-meter-high Lady Buddha Statue as well as the endangered red-shanked douc langur living in the reserved nature.
