Around Nhà An Da Nang
Dragon Bridge, the Rooster Church, Han Market, My Khe Beach, Son Tra and the Marble Mountains: ideas for places around central Da Nang, plus a half-day itinerary for anyone who likes to take it slow.
A city on the river
Da Nang sits on the Han River, with the sea on one side and mountains on the other. Since July 1, 2025, the city has merged with Quang Nam and dropped the district level; the downtown area on the west bank of the Han River is still where the bridges, streets, markets and old churches cluster.
Nhà An Da Nang is in the heart of downtown, just a few minutes' walk from the Han River. The street number will be announced later, so distances on this page are estimates.
Nearby places
From riverside spots you can walk to, to a few that need a bit of a ride. Opening hours and performance schedules may change, so check the latest information before you go.
Dragon Bridge is about 666 m long and opened in 2013, its deck curving like a steel dragon. It usually breathes fire and water at 21:00 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings and on some holidays; the schedule may change.
