Around Danang
Hoian Ancient Town
The ancient town Hoi An - 27km from Danang lies on the banks of the Thu Bon River. Hoi An was one of the major trading centers of Southeast Asia in the 16th century. In 1999, the riverside town was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in an effort to preserve its core of historic architecture, a unique mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European styles. The listing gave Hoi An the resources and impetus to better protect and maintain its wonderful architecture, and to market itself as a tourist destination. It worked, and the town now attracts visitors by the droves.
Hue Imperial City
This small and quiet Ñity is justly famed for the magnificent architecture of it citadels, palaces, royal tombs, pagodas and temples built under Nguyen dynasty in an elegant verdant setting on the bank of the Perfume River. UNESCO has labeled Hue “a beautiful architectural poem”. Like Halong Bay to the north, the complex of tombs, pagodas and palaces throughout Hue and its surrounds have earned it a place in UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.
Myson Cham Holyland
My Son Sanctuary built by the Cham Poeple between the 4th and 13th centuries is a unique culture which owed its spiritual origins to Indian Hinduism developed on the coast of contemporary Viet Nam. This is graphically illustrated by the remains of a series of impressive tower-temples located in a dramatic site that was the religious and political capital of the Champa Kingdom for most of its existence. Today it is a Unesco World Heritage site
