Da Nang: War, Wildlife – From Military Base to Modern City

Explore Da Nang’s wartime history, Son Tra’s military past, rare douc langurs, and the story of how a former war zone became a vibrant modern coastal city.
Discover a different side of Da Nang on a journey through war, wildlife, and the remarkable transformation of a city.

Your experience begins with Da Nang’s wartime history. Learn why the city and its coastline became strategically important during the Vietnam War, and hear stories about the military presence that once shaped this area.

Continue toward Son Tra Peninsula, where history and nature meet. Explore former military sites and viewpoints overlooking Da Nang Bay, while learning about the strategic importance of the peninsula during the war. From these same mountains, you can now look down over a completely different Da Nang — a modern coastal city filled with beaches, bridges, resorts, and busy streets.

Keep your eyes open for the red-shanked douc langur, one of Vietnam’s most distinctive primates. These colorful monkeys live in the forests of Son Tra, creating a fascinating contrast between the peninsula’s wartime past and its importance as a protected natural area today. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.

Finally, return toward the city and see how Da Nang has transformed. From the Han River and modern skyline to the iconic Dragon Bridge, discover how a city once associated with war has developed into one of Vietnam’s best-known coastal destinations.

This is more than a sightseeing tour — it is a journey through the different chapters of Da Nang’s history, from battlefield to wildlife sanctuary to modern beach city.
