If Da Nang tourist attractions enchant visitors with their silky white sands and dazzling city lights, the highlands of Nam Tra My are like a “sleeping beauty in the forest” waiting to be awakened. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Ngoc Linh mountain range, this place is often called the “Sapa of Quang Nam,” characterized by a year-round cool climate and ethereal mist.
Leaving the hustle and bustle of popular Da Nang tourist attractions behind, your journey in 2026 will lead you into a pristine wilderness: a place where Tak Po floats atop a sea of clouds, where the Long Tuc terraced fields carve golden curves against the blue sky, and where the Tay Du Ki and 5-Tier waterfalls compose a grand anthem of the ancient forest. Above all, it is an odyssey to conquer the Ngoc Linh peak—the sacred sanctuary of the world’s most precious ginseng.

Once famous for the touching image of a simple school opening ceremony, Tak Po has now become a renowned ‘cloud hunting’ spot, offering a completely distinct experience from the usual Da Nang tourist attractions. Perched atop the Ngoc Linh range, Tak Po boasts a breathtaking panoramic view. In the early morning, the entire valley is submerged in a sea of white clouds, revealing only mountain peaks bobbing like islands in an ocean of cotton.
Unlike the concrete developments found in many busy Da Nang tourist attractions, Tak Po retains its pristine beauty with lush green grass hills and a characteristically cool atmosphere. Standing here, travelers feel as if they need only reach out their hand to touch the sky.

No need to travel to the Northwest; if you seek a fresh breeze beyond the familiar Da Nang tourist attractions, right here in Nam Tra My, visitors can admire the ‘stairway to heaven’ at Long Tuc Terraced Fields. Completely distinct from the modernity often found in many Da Nang tourist attractions, this is an agricultural masterpiece created by the diligent hands of the Ca Dong ethnic people over generations.
Winding around the hillsides, the tiered fields create a magnificent natural painting, offering a tranquil space that contrasts with the bustle of central Da Nang tourist attractions. During the rice harvest season (September – October), Long Tuc dons a shimmering golden coat, with the scent of new rice blending into the mountain wind to create an incredibly peaceful sensation.

Nestled deep within the primeval forest, far removed from the noise typically found at central Da Nang tourist attractions, the 5-Tier Waterfall (Thac 5 Tang) is a masterpiece of creation. True to its name, water from the source cascades down through five stepped stone levels, creating white foam that resembles a fairy’s hair flowing amidst the green jungle.
The roaring sound of the waterfall blends with birdsong to create an endless symphony of nature. At the foot of each tier lie crystal-clear, cool pools where visitors can freely immerse themselves and wash away all worries—a pure relaxation experience hard to find at crowded Da Nang tourist attractions.

A novel and stimulating destination for adventurous souls, perfectly complementing the extended list of Da Nang tourist attractions, is Noong Lau Waterfall (Journey to the West Waterfall). This curious name stems from the waterfall’s magical beauty, reminiscent of the Water Curtain Cave in the classic film.
Water cascades from above, forming a thin, mist-like curtain that veils the rock cave within. Sunlight piercing through the water creates shimmering rainbows. The atmosphere here is quiet, completely isolated from the outside world, bearing a mystical and otherworldly quality—a unique ‘time-travel’ experience compared to the modern vibe of central Da Nang tourist attractions.

The Nam Tra My journey would be incomplete without Ngoc Linh Mountain—a sacred peak that serves as a majestic addition to the network of Da Nang tourist attractions and the surrounding region. Standing at 2,598m, it is the ‘roof’ of Central Vietnam and the sanctuary of Vietnam’s ‘National Treasure’: Ngoc Linh Ginseng.
Unlike the gentle resort experiences found at many Da Nang tourist attractions, conquering Ngoc Linh peak is a challenging yet glorious expedition. You will trek through dense primeval forests, pass ancient moss-covered rhododendrons, and witness with your own eyes the precious ginseng gardens strictly protected under the old forest canopy. Standing on the summit, taking in the panoramic view of the Truong Son range, offers the ultimate feeling of conquest.
