What's actually worth your time in Da Nang
Marble Mountains costs 40,000 VND plus 15,000 for the lift each way, and the Am Phu hell cave needs its own 20,000 VND ticket, which is the memorable part. Ba Na Hills and the Golden Bridge charge 950,000 VND and amount to a theme park with a famous handrail. My Khe beach is free and better than either. Dragon Bridge breathes fire Friday to Sunday at nine.
Da Nang's museums, and which one to pick
The Museum of Cham Sculpture, built by the French in 1915 beside the Han River, is the world's best collection of Cham art, with sandstone altars and Shiva lingams lifted from My Son. Entry is 60,000 VND and it opens daily from seven to five. The Da Nang Museum and Fine Arts Museum are modest by comparison. The 3D Trick Eye place is a photo studio, not a museum.
What things cost in Da Nang
A bowl of mi quang or bun cha ca costs 30,000 to 50,000 VND, and a banh mi 20,000 to 25,000. Bia hoi is under 15,000 a glass, bottled local beer around 20,000. A Grab bike across town runs 25,000 to 40,000 VND and a car roughly double. Marble Mountains is 40,000; Ba Na Hills at 950,000 dwarfs everything else.
What first-timers get wrong in Da Nang
Crossing a road in this motorbike city means walking at a constant pace and letting traffic flow around you; stopping suddenly is what causes collisions. Use Grab for cars and bikes, because street taxis quote badly. Renting a motorbike without the correct licence voids travel insurance outright. My Khe flies a flag system, rip currents build from October, and lifeguards leave at five.
What to eat in Da Nang
Mi Quang is the Quang Nam dish Da Nang claims: turmeric noodles under a shallow, concentrated broth with pork, shrimp, peanuts and a sesame rice cracker. Banh xeo with skewered nem lui belongs at Ba Duong on Hoang Dieu. Han Market handles banh mi and seafood, and Bac My An does grilled fish. Breakfast for locals is bun cha ca, a fish-cake noodle soup.
