One of the main reasons why so many visitors come to Da Nang is its central location, which means that it is easy to enjoy day trips to some of the great Vietnamese historic towns and attractions. 

From a cool and comfortable hill station beloved by French colonials (Ba Na Hill Station) to an ancient city equally beloved by a great royal dynasty (My Son), the rich cultural history of Vietnam is spread out for all to see. Further attractions close to Da Nang include the Old Town of Hoi An, the appealing town of Hue, Nui Son Tra (Monkey Mountain) and the Cham Islands.
