Ngu Hanh Son (The Marble Mountains), a must-see place to visit in Da Nang city
Ranked seventh in the list, Da Nang City is described as laid-back and friendly. According to the website, culinary tours are a hugely popular way to experience the literal flavour of Da Nang.
It also recommends for tourists to stuff themselves with bold noodle soups and savoury street foods and explore the limestone caves and Buddhist grottos of the Marble Mountains.
Meanwhile, in the 12th place, Ho Chi Minh City is praised for its charming French colonial architecture and wide boulevards.
Places of interests that visitors shouldn’t miss in the city as suggested by TripAdvisor include the War Remnants Museum, Jade Emperor Pagoda, and frenetic Ben Thanh Market.
