A day tour of Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, Vietnam, focusing on the 67-meter Lady Buddha statue and surrounding pagodas. The tour begins with a visit to Man Thai fishing village, where traditional round boats and local fishing activities are visible. The main destination is the Lady Buddha statue, which offers a 360-degree view of Da Nang city and is believed to protect the city from storms. Two pagodas near the statue are explored, both noted for their cleanliness and calm atmosphere. The tour takes approximately 1-2 hours to cover the main sites, with an optional 10-kilometer hike to the peninsula's highest point featuring a statue of Khuya playing chess. The video includes practical details: the tour cost is 300,000 Vietnamese Dong (about 1,000 Indian rupees) for a round-trip taxi from the hotel, and the temperature during the visit was 24°C in January, notably warmer than Hanoi's 16-17°C. The accommodation shown is a hotel 100 meters from My Khe Beach, with a room costing 1,225 Indian rupees after bargaining.
