Things to Do in Da Nang During Christmas 2025

After landing at Da Nang International Airport, especially T2 Terminal (International Terminal), visitors will see beautiful decorations of pine tree, reindeers, Santa clause, snowman,… and sure, have many good photo opportunities. The best time to visit is the evening when colorful lights are turned on.

Around Da Nang city center, visitors will find a big Christmas tree near the Dragon Bridge (on the promenade along Tran Hung Dao Street). This is also one of the best spots to watch the Dragon Bridge fire and water show at 9 PM during the weekend (Friday to Sunday).

To avoid the crowds at Dragon Bridge show, visitors can watch it from nearby rooftop cafe/restaurant or from a river cruise.

In Sun World Ba Na Hills, the French Village complex are the most atmospheric and well-decorated area. At the square in the front of Pop Mart store, there is a 16-meters-tall Christmas tree with glowing orbs and shimmering tinsel. At the square in the front of Saint Denis Church, the highlight is giant snow globes that visitors can step near or into for photos, surrounded by a forest of smaller, decorated pine trees. Over at the Beer Plaza, there is a unique “Christmas Beer Tree” crafted entirely from beer cans. Other places like restaurants and cafes are also . See more information about Christmas in Ba Na Hills
