Featured Hotels
| Danang is a port city in
the South Central Coast of Vietnam, in between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
It is the country's third largest city and is starting to become one of
the popular seaside destinations in Vietnam. Surrounded by mountains on
its West and the sea to its East, Danang is near natural sites such as
Marble Mountains and historical destinations like My Son.
The city's origins trace
back to 192 AD during the era of the Champa Kingdom. During its peak, the
Cham Empire reached as far as Vung Tau in the south. However, Chinese,
Vietnamese and Khmer influences led to the end of the Champa in the 15th
century. The city also served as an important sea port for the Spanish,
French and Americans during their time in the area, which also led to the
rapid growth of the city.
Tourism is an important sector
in Danang's economy, being near to the UNESCO World Heritage cities of
Hoi An as well as the temple ruins of My Son. That is not to say Danang
lacks any attractions though. The Cham Museum displays weathered but still
highly skilled artistic sculptures of Shiva (an important Hindu God), garudas
(mythical bird-like creature), nagas (mythical serpent deity), lions, monkeys,
and elephants, many of which were recovered from My Son. |

About 10 kilometers South
of Danang are Marble Mountains, a group of five limestone formations filled
with caves and marble crafts depicting mystical creatures and images of
Buddha. There are also paths leading up to the top of one of the mountains
(Thuy Mountain) which offers scenic views of the city and its shoreline
below.
Just off the shore of Danang
are the Cham Islands. It is one of Vietnam's popular island escapes featuring
coral reefs, quiet sandy bays and limestone formations. The islands are
also forested, presenting a wide range of flora and fauna. Some of the
world's best bird's nest soup can be found at these islets.
In addition, visitors can
enjoy a short transfer to Hoi An, a beautiful small city that retains a
lot of its past with preserved European, Asian and traditional Vietnamese
structures. The city is also famous for its relaxing beaches as well as
its arts and crafts shops.
My Son, a set of ruined Hindu
temples built during the Champa Empire is approximately 60 kilometers away. |
| There are over 70 architectural
pieces present at the site.
My Son has been compared
with some of Southeast Asia's great Hindu influenced temple sites such
as Angkor in Cambodia, Bagan in Myanmar, Ayutthaya in Thailand and Borobudur
in Indonesia.
Danang is a great starting
point if you want to explore the rich history of Central Vietnam. You can
do so with Exotissimo's A Day Hoi An and My Son - Danang day trip where
you will discover two UNESCO World Heritage cities and realize the cultural
significance of these two cities. Our Highlights of Vietnam tour allows

the Han river from the East sea. Just by short driving from The Green
