You step off the coach into a bright, humid morning where Da Nang’s wide river keeps time with traffic and fishing boats bob at the quay. The tour moves fast: a lakeside drive, the gleam of the Dragon Bridge, and then Linh Ung Pagoda’s towering Avalokitesvara watching over the bay. By midday the guide has you weaving through Han Market stalls, the air thick with the smell of grilled seafood and spices.
