- Mân Thái fishing beach (basket boats at dawn)
The working end of the city beach: round basket boats come in and the catch is sold on the sand around sunrise. Go 05:00–06:30 for 30–45 minutes, stand back from the trading, and ask before close-up photos; after 08:00 there is little to see.

- Da Nang Cathedral
Ten minutes for the pink 1923 church locals call the 'rooster church' after its weathervane; photograph from Trần Phú, enter by the side gate outside Mass (check).

- Asia Park and the Sun Wheel
An amusement park on the west bank whose reason to go is the big Sun Wheel after dark, with the lit bridges below; worth an evening with children or on a rest day, skip it if you are short of time or it is raining.

- Hàn Market
A 30-minute morning browse for dried squid, fish sauce, coffee and cheap tailoring upstairs; prices start high for visitors, so compare with Cồn Market or a supermarket.
