Son Tra Peninsula is "the mountain in the heart of the city" - as a song about Da Nang says - and has long been a valuable asset for local tourism.

This place retains the pristine beauty of the forest, so it is known as the "green lung" of the coastal city.

The harmonious combination of primeval mountains and forests with clear blue sea creates a rare beauty in the middle of the city. Thanks to that, for many years, Son Tra peninsula has been one of the places that tourists rarely miss when visiting Da Nang.

The primeval forests here are well preserved, so when visiting here, visitors can encounter rare animals, especially the red-shanked douc langur listed in the Red Book.

Scientists assess that Son Tra peninsula is the place where people can most easily access red-shanked douc langurs in the wild.

"The first time I came here, I was surprised to see that right next to the city there was an almost intact primeval forest. I ran on the roads around the island, went to Ban Co peak to catch the fog, and also looked at the city in the distance at night.

"Son Tra has the natural beauty and peace of nature" - Mr. Smith, a tourist from the coastal city of Virginia, USA, said about the reason he chose Da Nang to live for the past 10 years.

Son Tra Peninsula not only scores points with tourists for its diverse flora and fauna ecosystem, but also has beautiful surrounding roads.

From here you can see large and small beaches at the foot of the peninsula, or look out to see the whole view of Da Nang.
