Things to do in Da Nang International Airport
Da Nang is Vietnam's most dynamic beach city, positioned between two UNESCO World Heritage Sites — Hoi An Ancient Town (30 km south) and the Imperial City of Hue (90 km north). My Khe Beach is a long, wide, well-maintained stretch of sand right in the city. The Marble Mountains (Ngu Hanh Son) — limestone peaks with cave pagodas and Hindu cliff carvings — are 10 km south. The Ba Na Hills cable car, one of the world's longest, leads above the clouds to a French colonial hill station with surreal 'hand bridge' landscape design.
