You crest a switchback, sea breeze pushing at your helmet, and the city of Da Nang falls away behind you — an expanse of blue and tile roofs, the Han River threading toward the sea. The route cuts from Esco Beach Bar along coastal roads up into Son Tra (Monkey Mountain), stopping at the fishing village, Linh Ung Pagoda’s towering Lady Buddha and a rainforest path that leads to a knife-edge viewpoint.
