Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, No 2, 2 Thang 9 Street Hái Châu District, Da Nang 550000 Vietnam
The Museum’s first building was constructed in 1915 and opened to the public in 1919 but many Cham sculptures collected in Da Nang, Quang Nam and elsewhere were brought to the site over the preceding twenty years. With their roots dating back as far as 192 AD, Vietnam’s indigenous Cham people lived an Indian way of life in both culture and language. The Cham Museum in Danang is dedicated to this period and the Champa existence which began predominantly in the coastal areas of Vietnam. Housing the largest exhibition of Cham sculpture in the world, the museum displays almost 300 terracotta and stone works of art ranging from the 7th to the 15th centuries.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Lady Buddha, Da Nang Vietnam
Next you go to the Son Tra Peninsula where one of the many sites is the famous 68-meter-high tall lady Buddha, the highest in Southeast Asia. The statue of the Goddess of Mercy looks down upon the sea and the port, protecting the local fishermen and giving them strength to fight the waves and winds. From here the view is really terrific; you can view the entire downtown Danang. Keep your camera handy as great picture opportunities are abound on a clear day.

Stop At: Han Market, 119 Tran Phu Street, Da Nang Vietnam
Finally, you will go to Han market a significant landmark in Da Nang, having been in operation since the French occupancy in the 1940s. This local market is set within a two-storey building where you can find hundreds of stalls selling an array of local produce, handicrafts, T-shirts, and accessories. It’s very much like a miniature version of Ben Thanh Market central market in Ho Chi Minh City, and even if you aren’t necessarily looking to buy anything it still offers a fascinating glimpse into local life in Da Nang.
