Da Nang travel guide · Asia
Da Nang is Vietnam's fifth largest city, beautifully situated on the South China Sea coast between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Famous for its stunning beaches, dramatic mountain scenery, and the iconic Dragon Bridge, it serves as a gateway to the ancient wonders of Hoi An, My Son, and Hue. Once overlooked by tourists, Da Nang has blossomed into one of Vietnam's most exciting destinations with a booming tourism scene.
Da Nang's hottest and most humid months are June to August, and tropical storms hit from October to November. The dry and mild months of February through May offer the most pleasant conditions for beach visits and sightseeing.
