History


Da Nang is situtated in Quang Nam where the ancient people of Sa Huynh culture settled thousands of years ago with a wet rice civilization and the famous mulberry. When Champa Kingdom began its existance, the land belonged to the state of Amaravati. The vestiges of Champa Kingdom got a strong expression through many relics such as religious temples, remains of the Cham towels, Cham ancient wells, ect. Thus, Da Nang is also the gateway to World Heritage sites: My Son, Hoi An and Hue. The French named the city Tourane after it succeeded Hoi An (Faifo) as a vital deep water trading port in the 19th century. More recently, Da Nang was made famous in the Hollywood film “Good morning Vietnam”.
