Danang - a picturesque city by rivers and
seas

think that this is a picturesque city by the Han
river, by the coast of the Eastern Sea with
distinctive attractiveness compared with other
sea cities...
Danang is favored by nature, situated in the
middle of the three world cultural heritage
sites including the ancient capital Hue, the
ancient town Hoi An and the holy land My Son.
Such the position highlights the Danang's role
in Central Vietnam. This is the place for
welcoming, serving and being the entrepot for
tourists. Not only at the central point of the
three world cultural heritages, Danang City has
also lots of attractive spots which tourists
feel unforgettable after visiting the city.
Danang has the high and dangerous Hai Van pass
with full of perilous obstacles, engraved “the
most grandiose beauty spots in the world”, Son
Tra peninsula - an ideal rendez-vous for

of crepuscle in a picturesque land. The
eco-tourism resort Ba Na - Mo Stream is
considered as Dalat, Sapa of Central Vietnam and
the legendary Marble Mountains - 'a beautiful
landscape of the southern heaven and earth'.
Mentioning Danang, tourists can not forget the
poetic Han river and its bridge - the first
swing one in Vietnam. This is the pride of
Danang people. The Han River bridge - the symbol
for new vitality and the developing desire of
the city- was built with the contribution of all
the city's people. It seems that all poetic
features of the Han River can be only expressed
deeply in the space of Han river bridge with
full of wind and ventilation. It not only
facilitates transport and potentials for
tourism, awaking economic potentials of a vast
area in the eastern city but is a cultural spot
of Danang people today left behind for the
future generations.

Like other localities, Danang has passed through
many ups and downs in its development process.
Remain relics are evidence of the resilient and
heroic past of the land.
Danang people are deeply attached to everybody,
showing their belief in spiritual life, spirit
world and the fair and protest of God and land.
As a result of that, the ancient communal houses
are conserved with high respect and deepest
sympathy. Time went by, the remains are a few
but maintaining skilful carvings of artists in
the past plus double-tile roof covered with full
of moss and the solemn and secluded and quict
atmosphere of place of worship.
Danang people always show their respect to the
past, gratitude to the ancestors, preserving the
stele of Long Thu pagoda - the vestige of the
old, Dien Hai citadel, Iphanho cemetery, K20
historical relic and many other relics - the
evidence of fire and sword, heart-breaking but
heroic time of the land. The Danang generations

peace, songs of triumph and unwordable pains,
with the heroes devoting their whole lives and
passing forever sleep under the land such as Ong
Ich Khiem tomb, heroes buried at Khuê Trung
cemetery, Phuoc Ninh cemetery where they passed
a vey sound sleep so that the city starts a new
life.
Ancient villages and occupational villages
in suburban areas of Danang City
Danang looks like Phu Dong growing days by days
with high-rise buildings, streets with wind from
the sea. Beside bustle of the city center, there
are ancient villages and traditional trade
villages hiden by the range of bamboos in the
city's suburban areas.
With no chaos and bustling, beside soothing
green of plants, ancient villages and
occupational vilages are places which revive
past years of Danang people. They desire to keep
the city traditional features - modest and
ancient beauty for life. Outside the city, Phong
Nam ancient village, Tuy Loan ancient village
have a vast view of rice fields, small paths
under bamboo shade and sometimes feeling
peaceful atmosphere of hens' sound in the
afternoon. In the village, there still remains
the old-aged communal houses through ups and
downs of the city history. However, there are
sacred holy atmosphere but to be very close to
the spirit of Quang Nam and Danang people.
Each village or occupational village bear
distinctive feature of Danang City. The Non Nuoc
art stone village has statues made by talented
artists by their intelligence and cleverness.
They put their soul in stones, waking
thousand-year sleep of nature to put it in life
with people. Inhabitants of Cam Ne mat village
make pieces of mat with flavour of plants,
softness as wave of rice trees, making good
sleep of many human generations. If you have a
chance to come to Cam Ne village, paying a visit
to Cam Le sesame cake village to bring cake
packages as gifts. This is a kind of crispy
biscuits, sweet of medium rare sugar of
sugar-cane fields by Cam Le river.
Over many years, the villages and occupational
villages of Danang City remain modest and simple
features. The senior, the talented artists are
very keen on jobs their ancestors generated,
many human generations by many generations make
living not only for daily income but the belief
for the land which brought up them.
