What to see on the Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang?

On the Son Tra Peninsula (Nui Son Tra), also known as Monkey Mountain, there are several interesting locations. It's not a single spot, but a whole set of places to visit. Here's what you can see:

• Viewpoints on the mountain: The former helicopter pad, the area near the telecommunications antenna, and the Ban Co Peak summit. From here, breathtaking views of Da Nang Bay and Hai Van Pass open up.
• Linh Ung Pagoda: Here stands a giant 67-meter white statue of the goddess of mercy Guanyin, standing in a lotus flower. This is one of the iconic landmarks of Da Nang.
• Beaches: There are several cozy beaches on the peninsula, such as Bai Da or Obama Beach, where you can relax.
• A lighthouse, an unusual arch tree, and the private Dong Dinh Museum.
• The Son Tra Marina themed restaurant in Mediterranean style.
• Wildlife: Along the roads of the peninsula, you can encounter monkeys, squirrels, and theoretically even rare langurs and pheasants.

The best way to see everything is to rent a motorbike and ride along the scenic roads that encircle the peninsula.
