InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort
Once honoured by the World Travel Awards as one of Asia's leading luxury resorts, the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort captivates guests with its stunning natural beauty reminiscent of a tropical paradise on the Son Tra Peninsula and unique architectural spaces that offer countless perfect "check-in" spots. One such spot is the lounge balcony on the resort's Heaven floor.
Guests can strike a pose against a breath-taking backdrop of sky, sea and mountains. Designed by the renowned architect Bill Bensley, the resort's sophisticated spaces blend Vietnamese and classic European styles, providing the perfect setting for your check-in photos. The best times to capture beautiful photos are at dawn or sunset with soft light and gentle sunshine.
Symphony of River show - Da Nang Downtown
Held daily at 8.30pm in Da Nang Downtown, the city’s new entertainment district, the Symphony of River show combines classical symphonic music, timeless songs, thrilling Flyboard and Jetski performances and mesmerising choreography on a floating stage by the Han River.
The show’s spotlight is the seven-minute light feast featuring fireworks with constantly changing shapes and colours, making it a highly sought-after selfie backdrop for visitors. To get the best photos with the fireworks, be sure to arrive early and find a prime viewing spot.
Vietnamese Puppet Display - Da Nang Downtown
Visitors to Da Nang Downtown can find a unique "Vietnamese" check-in spot - the Vietnamese Puppet Display at the entrance of the entertainment complex. This display features iconic characters from Vietnamese puppet art, including chu Teu (Uncle Teu), nang Tien (the Fairy), and the farmer, redesigned playfully and distinctively.
This is also the one-of-the-kind place where you can check in with a Vietnamese puppet model riding a Jetski - a special feature of the Awaken River and Symphony of River shows at Da Nang Downtown.
For this check-in spot, dynamic and sporty outfits are perfect for capturing the best photos.
Eclipse Plaza - Sun World Ba Na Hills
Spanning over 60,000 square metres, Eclipse Plaza connects the Sun Kingdom and the Moon Kingdom at Sun World Ba Na Hills. The plaza's highlight is the eye-catching Cone Tower (the blue glass tower), which many international visitors have compared to a Vietnamese version of the Louvre.
From Eclipse Plaza, visitors can take in the majestic natural scenery, view the panoramic scene of the Pink Castle and capture impressive photos with the Cone Tower.
Funicular - Sun World Ba Na Hills
Departing from Gieng Than Station and ending at Hang Rong Station, the Funicular No.2 (mountain climbing train) route at Sun World Ba Na Hills takes guests on a journey through magnificent and grand landscapes and offers unique check-in spots along the way to explore the peak of Ba Na.
According to many visitors, the sight of the red train winding through lush green arches and iconic structures of Ba Na Hills evokes scenes from fantasy films, where passengers board trains to venture into magical new lands.
Pegasus Carousel - Sun World Ba Na Hills
Open daily from 8.30am to 5.00pm at Sun World Ba Na Hills, the Pegasus Carousel, a ride that takes you back to childhood with wooden horses, creates a fairy-tale-like atmosphere with beautifully decorated carousels.
This has become a favoured check-in spot for many visitors recently, serving as a real-life backdrop reminiscent of scenes from beloved Korean and European romance films.
