Son Tra Peninsula (Monkey Mountain)

Forest-covered peninsula with coastal viewpoints, beaches, and the towering Lady Buddha statue overlooking Da Nang Bay.

Sơn Trà Peninsula has served as both a strategic military high ground and a biodiversity hotspot, now framed as the 'green lung' of Đà Nẵng. Local debates over development here reflect nationwide tensions between coastal urban expansion and the protection of forests and wildlife that are central to Vietnamese environmental identity.
