After a summer with many events, there are several interesting activities to explore in Da Nang in the year-end tourism season.
Autumn and winter are the ideal times to visit the coastal city since the temperatures consistently remain around 22–25 degrees Celsius, with mild sunshine, showers, and a cool atmosphere.
Below are the most distinctive experiences in the city during this time of year.
During autumn and winter, tourists coming to Ba Na have chances to admire the natural landscapes or enjoy exciting mini shows, and even immerse in the lively atmosphere of the Fresh Beer Festival and Sun KraftBeer Culinary Festival 2024. Sun KraftBeer is considered one of the most unique beer festivals in the world that takes place at a height of 1,487 meters, bringing tourists to a journey of drinking beer amid the clouds.
Visitors can also enjoy the grand Beer Parade with dances by international artists and performers at the Sun KraftBeer 2024 festival.
Visitors will also have the chance to enjoy fun and exciting beer-related games such as the Beer King Hunt Challenge and Beer Keg Lifting, with funny rewards promising refreshment moments. On the other hand, tourists are able to witness unique costume competitions combined with classic song performances by Thai transgender artists in the "Star Battle" or "Neon Nexus" show featuring fire dancing with LED light effects changing in seconds.
The Dragon Bridge is an unmissable destination for many tourists. It not only impresses tourists with its architecture design inspired by noble creatures in Vietnamese beliefs but also attracts tourists by water and fire performances at 9 p.m. on every Saturday, Sunday, and during significant holidays in the year.
Besides the Dragon Bridge, the Han River Bridge is also a popular spot for tourists when visiting Da Nang. It is also known as the "Swing Bridge" that attracts tourists to see its 90-degree rotating right at the middle section every night, allowing ships and boats on the river to pass. One of the prime locations to fully admire the Han River Bridge and capture stunning photos is the Novotel Danang Premier Han River, where all rooms overlook the Han River and the iconic bridges of Da Nang.
By visiting Ba Na at the end of the year, tourists can both enjoy cloud hunting and take photos with many iconic landmarks that have gained international design awards. Among them, the Golden Bridge has become one of the most famous tourism symbols in Vietnam.
Da Nang is becoming more attractive to international tourists as 36 restaurants and eateries here were honored by the Michelin Guide last summer, including one Michelin-starred restaurant, one Michelin Green Star restaurant, and 16 Bib Gourmand winners.
The one Michelin-starred restaurant, La Maison 1888, which is part of the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, combines premium French cuisine with local ingredients and flavors. The dining is served by Toan Nguyen, a sommelier recognized in the Michelin Guide's Sommelier Awards.
Besides the culinary hotspots honored by the Michelin Guide, locals in Da Nang will introduce tourists to vibrant late-night streets with many interesting experiences from foods to entertainment, such as Bach Dang Pedestrian Zone, Nguyen Van Thoai Street, An Thuong "Western" Street, and Tran Hung Dao Street.
Young people in Da Nang have a tendency to come to the focal point of evening entertainment in Da Nang Downtown, the Vui Fest Night Market. Tourists can savor culinary flavors with a variety of Asian and European delicacies, including dozens of Da Nang specialties such as summer rolls, thick noodles soup mi Quang, grilled pork and noodles with fermented seafood paste.
