The city is changing and building at a breathtaking pace, which sometimes brings with it the typical Asian hustle, construction noise, and pavements packed with parked motorbikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, it remains an <strong>ideal base for exploring the region<\/strong>, since you can easily head out to beaches, mountains, and historical sites from here. And the best news for international visitors: since last August, many nationalities can now enjoy <strong>visa-free stays of up to 45 days<\/strong>, saving you a great deal of paperwork and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b687b05&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b687b05\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full

Daytime temperatures range between 26 and 33\u00b0C and the sea is beautifully calm.

October and November in particular can be critical \u2014 the sea develops strong rip currents and historic H\u1ed9i An regularly deals with flooding, as it did during last year&#8217;s severe floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_Da_Nang\"><\/span>Where to Stay in Da Nang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing accommodation, you&#8217;ll first need to decide whether you want to stay <strong>closer to the sea or near the river<\/strong> in the city centre. The area around M\u1ef9 Kh\u00ea Beach and the An Th\u01b0\u1ee3ng neighbourhood is full of caf\u00e9s and puts you just five minutes&#8217; walk from the sand, while the centre along the H\u00e0n River is better appreciated during the rainier months when the sea is rough anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re after great value for money close to the beach, take a look at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=co-videt-v-da-nangu&#038;hotelname=Sala%20Danang%20Beach%20Hotel&#038;address=Da%20Nang%2C%20Vietnam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Sala Danang Beach Hotel<\/a><\/strong>, which features a lovely rooftop pool and often offers a free airport transfer.

The most reliable way to reach your hotel is the Grab app, which now operates at the airport via a PIN code system \u2014 you book a car, head to Stand A, and show the code to the first available driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A ride to the beach costs around 75,000 VND<\/strong>, and into the city centre a little less \u2014 just always add a small airport access fee on top. Whatever you do, don&#8217;t be tempted by the touts in the arrivals hall who often offer overpriced rides; always insist on booking through the app or using an official metered taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of safety, the city is generally very calm, but <strong>do watch out for pickpockets<\/strong> and motorbike riders who occasionally snatch bags from pedestrians walking close to the road. Change money at banks rather than at jewellery-shop exchange booths, where there have recently been cases of quick recounting that left tourists short-changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cards are accepted at hotels, chain restaurants, and in Grab (with a 4% surcharge), but <strong>for markets, local eateries and boat trips you&#8217;ll need cash<\/strong>; as a rough guide, 100,000 VND is around \u20ac4. You can pick up a Viettel or Vinaphone SIM card with your passport; plug sockets accept standard European two-pin plugs without an adapter; and <strong>e-cigarettes have been banned in Vietnam since 2025<\/strong>, including for tourists (the fine is 3 to 5 million dong). In an emergency, the nearest embassy for EU citizens will vary by nationality \u2014 check your country&#8217;s foreign ministry website before you travel; the international Family Medical Practice clinic in Da Nang is at 50 Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n Linh (+84 236 3582 699).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_Tips_on_What_to_See_and_Do_in_Da_Nang\"><\/span>22 Tips on What to See and Do in Da Nang<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following tips will guide you from the most famous attractions all the way to hidden vegetarian backstreets.

The former French hill station has been transformed into a vast theme park, reached by a cable car that the operator claims is among the longest in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The undisputed star of the show is the <strong>famous Golden Bridge held aloft by two giant stone-like hands<\/strong> \u2014 which look like weathered rock but are actually made of fibreglass. It opened in 2018 and has drawn crowds of visitors ever since.

Its massive steel structure shaped like a yellow dragon spans the H\u00e0n River, connecting the city centre with the beach districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest show happens every evening at nine o&#8217;clock sharp, when traffic stops and the <strong>dragon begins to breathe real fire and water<\/strong>. Since this summer, this popular attraction takes place not only on Saturdays and Sundays, but now also on Friday evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire waterfront beneath the bridge transforms in the evening hours into a <strong>pleasant pedestrian zone full of stalls and caf\u00e9s<\/strong>.

This event attracts huge crowds who release paper boats with candles onto the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ride on a wooden boat along the Hoai River is a lovely experience, but <strong>be very careful of the ubiquitous scammers<\/strong>. Official prices range around 150,000 to 200,000 VND for a whole boat, so politely decline all higher offers from various touts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to avoid the biggest crowds, <strong>come a day before or a day after the full moon<\/strong>.

On the main island, you&#8217;ll find picturesque fishing villages and beaches accessible only to boats without noisy engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since this summer, the combined entrance and sanitation fees total 90,000 VND, while day trips with lunch and snorkeling run around half a million dong. The islands enforce a very strict ecological policy and <strong>ban single-use plastic bags and straws<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plan your visit ideally between March and August, because <strong>in autumn and winter, boats often don&#8217;t sail at all due to large waves<\/strong>. Always make sure you travel only with licensed operators who prioritize safety and have enough life jackets on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Instead of a rushed day trip, book an <strong>inexpensive local homestay<\/strong> on the island for one night and explore <strong>empty beaches on a rented motorbike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b68df3c&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b68df3c\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02.jpg\" alt=\"Han Market in Da Nang\" class=\"wp-image-429581\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/tr-nice-cho-han-v-da-nangu-relight-13520a02-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Cho_Han_and_Cho_Con_Markets\"><\/span>12.

The more touristy Han Market sits right by the river, and across two floors you can buy absolutely everything from dried fruit and coffee to custom-tailored clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Cho Con is a much more authentic place where <strong>mainly locals come to shop<\/strong>. On its ground floor, you&#8217;ll find an amazing street food section where you can admire the nimble hands of the cooks, though vegetarians should be a bit cautious about the ubiquitous meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At both markets, <strong>haggling is a normal part of shopping<\/strong>, so don&#8217;t be afraid to immediately cut the suggested price in half and negotiate with a smile. On the other hand, the city council has been trying this year to introduce rules for posted fixed prices, so the situation is gradually improving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: At both markets, <strong>keep an eye on your personal belongings<\/strong> and backpacks, because in the narrow, crowded aisles, <strong>skilled pickpockets<\/strong> sometimes operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b68e631&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b68e631\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948.jpg\" alt=\"Da Nang Museum in the former French Town Hall\" class=\"wp-image-429582\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/muzeum-da-nangu-v-b-val-francouzsk-radni-relight-b689e948-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: B\u1ea3o t\u00e0ng \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng \/ Google Maps \u00b7 color adjusted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Da_Nang_Museum_in_the_Former_French_Town_Hall_and_Fine_Arts_Museum\"><\/span>13.

This protected heritage building, over 120 years old, received a huge financial injection and now offers modern exhibitions for an entrance fee of 50,000 VND.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearby, you&#8217;ll also find the popular Fine Arts Museum, which <strong>raised its entrance fee slightly this summer to 40,000 VND<\/strong>. You can view works by modern Vietnamese artists there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third stop on the historical circuit is the Fifth Military Division Museum, where <strong>you&#8217;ll find among other things a precise replica of Ho Chi Minh&#8217;s traditional house<\/strong>. Just remember that this military museum is closed on Mondays and Fridays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: <strong>The new city museum<\/strong> is an ideal activity for <strong>rainy autumn days<\/strong> and is located right at the start of the pleasant evening pedestrian zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b68ed09&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b68ed09\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44.jpg\" alt=\"Con Ga Cathedral, Phap Lam Pagoda and Cao Dai Temple\" class=\"wp-image-429583\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/katedr-la-con-ga-pagoda-phap-lam-a-chr-m-relight-ed1ccc44-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: HUUAN NGUYEN \/ Google Maps \u00b7 color adjusted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Con_Ga_Cathedral_Phap_Lam_Pagoda_and_Cao_Dai_Temple\"><\/span>14.

You can walk around in the shade of the trees for free, just don&#8217;t forget appropriate clothing and to remove your shoes before entering the inner sanctuaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also worth mentioning is the nearby Cao Dai temple, a religion that <strong>combines elements of Buddhism, Christianity, and Taoism into one faith<\/strong>. Its colorful architecture with the omnipresent symbol of the divine eye is a very unconventional architectural sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Go photograph the cathedral <strong>early in the morning<\/strong> from Tran Phu main road, when it has the most beautiful soft light and <strong>there are no crowds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b68f4cb&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b68f4cb\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b.jpg\" alt=\"Bridge circuit: Cau Song Han swing bridge, Thuan Phuoc and Tran Thi Ly\" class=\"wp-image-429584\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/mosty-jako-okruh-oto-n-cau-song-han-thua-relight-66d47d4b-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Nguy\u1ec5n H\u1eefu Gia H\u01b0ng \/ Google Maps \u00b7 color adjusted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Bridge_Circuit_Cau_Song_Han_Swing_Bridge_Thuan_Phuoc_and_Tran_Thi_Ly\"><\/span>15.

The most famous of them, the swing bridge over the Han River from 2000, was designed and built exclusively by Vietnamese engineers, and on weekends around eleven at night its middle section rotates to let boats pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bit further north spans Thuan Phuoc, which is <strong>one of the longest suspension bridges in the entire country<\/strong>, offering beautiful views of the bay. To the south shines the elegant cable-stayed Tran Thi Ly bridge, whose massive concrete pylon and cable arrangement resemble a giant taut ship&#8217;s sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these structures are <strong>beautifully and colorfully illuminated at night<\/strong>, so a walk along the waterfront offers fantastic visual experiences. If you enjoy being active, you can rent a bike and take a lovely evening circuit along both banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: On Saturday evening you can easily catch both, first watch the <strong>fire-breathing on the Dragon Bridge<\/strong> at nine and then slowly walk to the <strong>swing bridge at eleven<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ae0a8b68fbbe&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ae0a8b68fbbe\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2528\" height=\"1696\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545.jpg\" alt=\"Bay Mau Coconut Forest (Cam Thanh) and Tra Que vegetable village\" class=\"wp-image-429585\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545.jpg 2528w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-700x470.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-1536x1030.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-2048x1374.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-696x467.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-1392x934.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kokosov-les-bay-mau-cam-thanh-a-zelenino-relight-77049545-1920x1288.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2528px) 100vw, 2528px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: My Nguy\u1ec5n \/ Google Maps \u00b7 color adjusted<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16_Bay_Mau_Coconut_Forest_Cam_Thanh_and_Tra_Que_Vegetable_Village\"><\/span>16.

Instead, head to Than Tai mountain park, where for just under five hundred thousand dong you get all-day access to hot thermal pools and mud baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second great alternative for rainy days is the Japanese Mikazuki complex, which <strong>offers a large indoor water park and traditional onsen hot springs<\/strong>. Admission runs around 350,000 VND on weekdays and it&#8217;s located about ten kilometers north of the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These water attractions are <strong>a great lifesaver especially for families with children<\/strong>, who last year lost the canceled amusement park in the city.

Local fishermen bring their catches here in typical round basket boats and you can watch as the fresh gifts of the sea are directly transferred and sold on the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watching these traditional techniques is a test for all the senses, though <strong>more sensitive souls might prefer to stay away from the actual fish sale<\/strong>.
