Da Nang & Mỹ Khê Beach

Seaside City of Temples and a Rich Cham Past Immerse yourself in Central Vietnam’s Cham history and see a beach visited by US soldiers during the Vietnam War. En route to Da Nang, pass through Central Vietnam’s scenic countryside of fertile rice paddies and grazing water buffalo. Visit the sacred Linh Ung Pagoda, which harmoniously blends modern and traditional Vietnamese architecture. You will also stop at the Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture, where fascinating sandstone sculptures and temple ornamentations date as far back as the 4th century. Dedicated to Vietnam’s indigenous Cham people and their Indian heritage, the exhibits and ornate exterior are crafted with objects of worship, including idols and holy animals that represent the Hindu faith. You will also travel to Mỹ Khê, a beach once frequented by US soldiers. Considered Vietnam’s most picturesque beach, enjoy a stop for photos on the shore before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
