24 hours may not sound like much, but it’s enough to capture the spirit of Da Nang: watching the sunrise at My Khe Beach, admiring the city from Son Tra Peninsula, tasting the best local dishes, and ending the night under the Dragon Bridge show. Let ANFADA Hotel Danang guide you through a one-day itinerary to make the most of your trip.
Morning: Sunrise at My Khe Beach
Sunrise in Da Nang is something truly magical. The sky shifts from deep purple to orange and pink, blending into a natural masterpiece. Locals often say: if you travel to Da Nang but miss this “specialty,” you’ll have to come back again!
Wake up early, around 4:30–5:00 AM, to catch the first rays. The end of Nguyen Van Thoai Street or the area near East Sea Park is said to be the best viewing spot.
- Things to do: Go for a jog along the shore, dip your feet in the waves, or enjoy a refreshing swim.
- Light experience: Rent a mat or small umbrella, grab a cup of coffee from a beach vendor, and simply watch the sun rise.
- Tip: My Khe Beach stretches along Vo Nguyen Giap Street, where plenty of cafes and eateries await after your morning swim.

Midday: Fresh Seafood & Hotel Break
After an energetic morning, nothing beats a seafood feast. Along Vo Nguyen Giap Street, you’ll find plenty of restaurants where seafood is picked fresh right on site. Don’t miss dishes like steamed baby clams with lemongrass, tamarind crab, grilled prawns, and countless varieties of snails.
- Where to eat: Try local favorites such as Be Man, Be Ni, or Be Bien near My Khe Beach; or head toward Son Tra for hidden gems like Ba Ro or Nam Danh.

Afternoon: Culture & Adventure
Use your afternoon to dive deeper into Da Nang’s culture and landmarks. Some great options include:
- Son Tra Peninsula & Linh Ung Pagoda: Take a scenic drive for panoramic city views and a visit to the iconic Lady Buddha statue. If you’re lucky, you may spot the rare red-shanked douc langurs.

- Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge: Ride one of the world’s longest cable cars and snap photos at the famous Golden Bridge.
- Museums in Da Nang: Prefer staying in town? Visit Da Nang Museum and Da Nang Fine Arts Museum – located right next to each other with affordable entry fees (from 20.000 – 30.000 VND).
Evening: Street Food & Dragon Bridge Show
Da Nang may not be as sleepless as Ho Chi Minh City, but its nightlife has its own charm. From bustling street food stalls to riverside restaurants, the city truly comes alive at night.
- Must-try dishes: Mi Quang (turmeric noodles), banh trang cuon thit heo (pork rolls), fish cake noodles, and central-style banh xeo (crispy pancakes).
- Where to eat: Con Market area, or small eateries along Tran Phu and Vo Nguyen Giap streets.
If you’re in town on the weekend, stroll along the Han River after dinner and watch the Dragon Bridge breathe fire and water at 9 PM (Friday–Sunday). This unique spectacle is a must-see in any Da Nang trip.
Late Night: Markets & Riverside Bars
Still have energy left?
- Explore Han River Night Market for souvenirs and late-night bites.
- Try a riverside bar or pub if you’re in the mood for live music and cocktails.
- Or, for a quieter ending, take a moonlit walk along My Khe Beach.
