Da Nang is not only famous for its beautiful sandy beaches, but also for its bridges and museums. After a pick up from your hotel, you'ill visit Ho Chi Minh Museum. It features a replica of President Ho’s Hanoi home with a fishpond, a house on stilts, a garden, and other relics.
Next is the Museum of the Fifth Military Zone, which has many examples of large war equipment including aircraft and tanks that were captured in the French and American wars by the soldiers of the Fifth Military Division.
Leaving these museums, you will continue to the Cham Museum. 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 Da Nang 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.
Your next stop is the Dong Dinh Museum, a beautiful and peaceful place to see wonderful works of art and valuable antiques. The owner of the museum has spent more than 30 years collecting artifacts from across the country and another 10 years on buildingt his privately-owned museum, which is the first of its kind in the central region.
