Da Nang

Da Nang extends along the eastern coast, where the Han River meets the South China Sea, encompassing mountains, beaches, and urban districts across 1,284 square kilometers.

The city evolved from its origins as a Cham settlement through French colonial rule as Tourane, until becoming a direct-controlled municipality of Vietnam in 1997.

The inhabitants of Da Nang maintain Vietnamese traditions through regional food specialties, including Mi Quang noodles and local festivals that reflect central Vietnamese heritage.

Da Nang International Airport connects the city with major Asian destinations while an extensive road network links to UNESCO sites like Hue and Hoi An.

The city administration operates across eight urban districts and two rural zones, managing a population of 1.3 million inhabitants with provincial-level autonomy.
