Ngũ Hành Sơn

Vietnam

4.5 (0)
Overview

Group of mountains near Da Nang, Vietnam. It sits on the central coast, where the rains come in autumn rather than summer.

Why visit: Fansipan and the northern ranges — terraced rice valleys, ethnic minority villages and Indochina's highest peak.

Things to do
  • ›Trek with a local guide and stay in a village homestay
  • ›Take the cable car up and walk down if time is short
  • ›Pack a warm layer — northern peaks get genuinely cold
  • ›Go in the shoulder months; cloud sits on the summits in summer
