Son Tra Mountain in Da Nang is home to hundreds of endangered red-shanked douc langurs and inquisitive long-tailed macaques. These free-roaming monkeys frequently inhabit roadside areas near the coastline, delighting visitors with their active daily behavior. Travelers should admire them from a safe distance and avoid feeding them to protect their natural foraging habits.
