Son Tra Peninsula

Son Tra Peninsula is one of the places most visitors to Da Nang make time for. Central Vietnam's gateway city: thirty kilometres of beach, a mountain pass at each end, and the only international airport between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Before you go: Go at first light for the langurs and the clearest view back over the city. Some upper roads are steep and closed to underpowered scooters — check what you have hired.
