A short, rugged jeep ride from Da Nang takes you to the towering Lady Buddha and the wartime ridgeline of Monkey Mountain on Son Tra Peninsula. This 3–4 hour tour blends coastal views, temple culture, and accessible back‑road exploration.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into an army-style jeep and the city drops away: the Pacific opens on your right, jungle-bright slopes on your left, and Lord Buddha watches the bay from a white flank above the trees. The jeep negotiates rough coastal tracks that regular cars avoid, delivering you to Linh Ung Pagoda where the 67‑metre Lady Buddha—visible from Da Nang city—sits above the sea.
