A seemingly undiscovered gem of Da Nang, Sơn Trà Peninsula is an expansive ecotourism destination home to both astonishing views and iconic attractions. One of its major drawcards includes the Sơn Trà Mountain, which known by many as Monkey Mountain, rests at an elevation of over 850 metres and overlooks the glistening waters of the Bay of Da Nang and the East Sea. The lush evergreen tropical forests of Sơn Trà Peninsula are home to several species of primates, including the rare red-shanked douc langurs. This wondrous area is best explored during a hike or cycle along the main paved road.
