Sơn Trà Peninsula
A green, mountainous peninsula north-east of the centre: Linh Ứng Pagoda, viewpoints, quiet beaches and rare red-shanked douc langurs — about 300 of them (Da Nang tourism portal). Important for visitors: since 2019, automatic scooters and buses with more than 24 seats are not allowed on the peninsula (tourism portal, Báo Văn Hóa) — go by car, taxi or a manual motorbike. Access is open March–September 7:30–18:30 and October–February 7:30–17:30; the barriers are closed outside these hours. Part of the mountain road is one-way.
