Da Nang offers white sandy beaches, crystal blue water and a beautiful coastline. “Forbes” readers voted its beach one of the six most beautiful in the world and “National Geographic Magazine” identified it among the “50 Places of a Lifetime: The World's Greatest Destinations”. Da Nang is also the centre point in the middle of three UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Hue Citadel, the ancient trading center of Hoi An and My Son Sanctuary, making all of these locations easily accessible via one destination.
