A 5-star resort cafe pilgrimage along My Khe Beach
A luxurious breakfast overlooking the private beach at the end of Sonbando Island. Over 100 menu items including Vietnamese rice noodle live station, fresh tropical fruits, and Western breakfast. It is considered the best breakfast in Da Nang, and many wealthy locals only eat breakfast without staying overnight.
A cup of coffee with the most photogenic infinity pool in Da Nang in the background. The optical illusion view where the grass and the sea become one is a popular Instagram post. You can choose between cool, air-conditioned indoor seating or outdoor seating right next to the pool. A variety of drinks including cocktails and smoothies.
An open terrace restaurant with a panoramic view of My Khe Beach. You can choose between air-conditioned indoor seating and outdoor seating right in front of the sea. The lunch set consists of appetizer + main + dessert + drink, and is 30% cheaper than ordering single items. A variety of dishes from local Vietnamese dishes to pasta and steak.
The highest rooftop bar in Da Nang city (36th floor). A 360-degree panoramic view of the Han River, Yongdari, and Mike Beach. It transforms into a cafe atmosphere during the day and a club atmosphere with a DJ in the evening. If you visit before the sun sets, you can enjoy the view both day and night.
A Vietnamese-French fusion restaurant supervised by Michelin 3-star chef Pierre Gagnaire. A formal dinner costs 1.5 million dong (approximately 80,000 won) per person, but if you combine a sunset cocktail and appetizer at the bar, you can experience a fine dining atmosphere at 1/5 the price. The 19th century French colonial style interior is impressive.
A landmark of Da Nang. The entire 666m long bridge is shaped like a dragon and changes color with LED lights at night. A show where fire and water are spewed out from the dragon's head is held every Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. It is the highlight of a trip to Da Nang. The riverside walking trail is also well maintained.
