The Marble Mountains
These five marble and limestone hills are a place of significance for local people. Each 'mountain' is named after one of the five elements (metal, water, wood, fire and earth) and has its own caves and tunnels, some of which were Buddhist sanctuaries and hideouts for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. In the quarries at their base you'll find statues of animals, folk tales and Buddhist figures carved from the rock.

Ancient Town of Hoi An
Around 30 minutes drive south of Danang, it is quite easy to feel like you've stepped back in time as you walk through the winding alleyways of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and historic trading port. The town was visited by merchants from Japan, China and Arabia from the 15th to 19th century, and their influence lives on in the eclectic architecture, streets and temples. Spend the day wandering around the quaint streets, have some clothes hand made for you at one of the many tailor shops and enjoy the glow of the paper lanterns as you enjoy a delicious Vietnamese dinner at one of the rooftop restaurants overlooking the river.

China Beach
China Beach is a famous postcard-perfect beach which stretches its white sands for 20 miles. Named China Beach by the American troops who visited during the Vietnam War, its local name is Non Nuoc. Loved by sun-seekers and surfers, this stunning spot was popular with backpackers before it became host to the collection of luxurious beach hotels it has today. Although most of the hotels offer a selection of watersports, the beach retains a peaceful atmosphere where days are spent relaxing with a good book or observing the local fisherman as they bring in their catch.

Destination Executive
"If your main priority is an amazing beach then I highly recommend Danang. If you decide to be a little more active then the charming town of Hoi An is close by & most of the hotels run a shuttle. There are also shopping malls in the centre of Da Nang as well as vibrant nightlife if thats what you are looking for."
