About Hai Chau

Hai Chau, the central district of Da Nang, revolves around the Han River, which is the main draw for both locals and tourists. The area is dotted with a mix of modern developments and traditional markets, notably the Han Market where you can find virtually anything from fresh produce to souvenirs. The iconic Dragon Bridge not only serves as a functional crossing but also breathes life into the night with its dragon-shaped design that breathes fire and water on weekends. While Hai Chau is a key business hub that attracts professionals, it also caters to tourists looking for a taste of local culture and cuisine along the riverfront. People come for the Han River Cruise, which offers a unique perspective of the city and its nightlife.

Who it's for

Visitors who enjoy a blend of business and leisure will find it appealing. Not ideal for those seeking a quiet escape or deep historical exploration, as the focus is more on modern attractions and local commerce. If you are averse to crowds or looking for untouched cultural sites, this is not your spot.
