Things to Do in An Thuong Tourist Street in Da Nang

An Thuong Walking Street

An Thuong Walking Street was opened on 17th July 2023 as a part of the project to boost tourism development in Ngu Hanh Son district of Da Nang. It includes a portion of Hoang Ke Viem St, a portion of Tran Bach Dang St and four stone-paved roads (An Thuong 1 St, An Thuong 2 St, An Thuong 3 St and An Thuong 4 St). These roads are exclusive for pedestrians in the evening on weekend days. The entrance of An Thuong Walking Street is the east end of Hoang Ke Viem St (the crossroad with Vo Nguyen Giap St, the coastal road).

On Tran Bach Dang St, there is a night market, with food and souvenir stalls. This night market is always for walking. Near its entrance at Hoang Ke Viem St, on the weekend, outdoor festive dancing and singing performances will be held, bringing a vibrancy into the town. That’s why it’s busier than week days. On other streets, there are restaurants serving different cuisines, café, spas, bars, pubs, shops, hotels and apartments for rent that open throughout the day.

Restaurants alone in An Thuong Tourist Street have the most choices in Da Nang. Visitors can see non-vegetarian and vegetarian places as well as food from Vietnam, China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Turkey, France, England, Spain, Greek, Isarel, Mexico, United States, so on. The reason to explain this abundance is that there are many expats and foreigners living in the area.

My An Beach (Sea Star Beach)

My An Beach is on the eastern side of An Thuong Tourist Street. During the day, visitors can go swimming (fresh water shower available), lying on white sandy expanse to get tanned, relaxing on sun loungers under coconut trees, taking a good drink from beach bars, or eating fresh seafood in seafront restaurants, etc. In the late afternoon, water sports are available to participate in, such as jet skiing, parachuting, riding the banana boat, standup paddle boarding (SUP), etc.

At night, visitors can find peaceful bars/huts along My An Beach, to have drinks (both alcohol and non-alcohol options) with cool breeze and a view of the giant Lady Buddha.
