This guide, presented by a Da Nang resident, highlights three key free attractions in the city. It begins with a visit to the towering Lady Buddha statue on Son Tra Peninsula, a peaceful site with temple gardens, monkeys, and panoramic views despite the rainy season. Next, the Dragon Bridge fire show is showcased on a Friday evening at 9 PM, drawing large crowds to both sides of the bridge and featuring bursts of fire followed by water. Finally, Son Tra Night Market, located right beside the bridge, offers a vibrant mix of souvenirs, clothing, shoes, and local food like balan, with lively interactions with vendors and local children.
