Da Nang is no longer just a modern coastal city known for beaches, bridges, and the Han River. Since the 2025 merger with Quang Nam, the expanded Da Nang municipality brings together some of central Vietnam's most important UNESCO-recognized heritage, ancient monuments, traditional crafts, and living cultural traditions.
Beyond UNESCO, the expanded city also contains National Special Relics, National Treasures, nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage, traditional craft villages, and culinary traditions.
That combination makes today's Da Nang one of the most diverse heritage destinations in central Vietnam.
However, Da Nang's UNESCO heritage extends beyond the World Heritage List. The city also includes the Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains, Bà i Chòi, and Hoi An's UNESCO Creative City designation.
This distinction matters. Hoi An and My Son are World Heritage properties; Cu Lao Cham is a Biosphere Reserve; Ma Nhai is documentary heritage; Bà i Chòi is intangible heritage; and Hoi An is a Creative City.
UNESCO describes Hoi An as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries.
Its importance comes from more than attractive yellow buildings and lanterns.
Hoi An developed as a place where merchants, travelers, and communities from different cultural backgrounds interacted through trade. Vietnamese traditions met influences from China, Japan, and Europe, creating a distinctive historic urban landscape. UNESCO specifically recognizes the town as an outstanding material expression of cultural fusion within an international commercial port.
That gives you two very different views of the same heritage landscape: the architecture and streets in daylight, followed by the lantern-lit atmosphere after dark.
Best for: architecture, history, food, photography, cultural experiences and first-time visitors.
The sanctuary contains the remains of temple towers associated with the Champa Kingdom, a civilization that developed along the central Vietnamese coast between the 4th and 13th centuries.
UNESCO describes My Son as an impressive illustration of a culture whose spiritual origins were strongly influenced by Hinduism from the Indian subcontinent. The sanctuary served as a major religious and political centre of Champa.
Best for: Champa history, archaeology, architecture, and ancient civilizations.
It is easy to overlook because it is not a World Heritage Site.
Instead, it belongs to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, which focuses on documentary heritage.
In 2022, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains was inscribed on the Asia-Pacific Regional Register.
The collection includes 78 inscriptions:
One reason Ma Nhai is particularly valuable is that the inscriptions preserve historical information in the physical landscape where the texts were created.
Instead of reading history from a document removed from its original context, visitors encounter writing that remains part of the mountain, cave, and religious landscape.
They also reflect cultural connections involving Vietnam, China, and Japan during periods of maritime and commercial exchange in the region.
For travelers, this makes the Marble Mountains more than a scenic attraction.
The mountains are simultaneously:
It belongs to UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme, which focuses on biodiversity conservation and sustainable relationships between people and the environment.
UNESCO lists the reserve at 33,475 hectares, including approximately 6,341 hectares of terrestrial area and 26,777 hectares of marine area.
The reserve connects two important environments:
Hoi An's cultural landscape and the Cu Lao Cham archipelago and its marine ecosystems.
UNESCO notes the area's rich biodiversity, including coral, fish, molluscs, crustaceans and seaweed, together with island forests and other terrestrial ecosystems.
It is part of a much larger conservation landscape in which marine ecosystems, island communities, tourism, and traditional livelihoods are connected.
Best for: nature, islands, marine life, snorkeling and sustainable travel.
Bà i Chòi combines:
The tradition has historically been transmitted through families, artists, clubs, and community groups. UNESCO emphasizes the role of practitioners and communities in safeguarding the knowledge and skills associated with the art.
For travelers, Bà i Chòi provides an important reminder that cultural heritage is not always something preserved behind glass.
Sometimes it is performed, spoken, sung, and passed from one generation to another.
This designation is different from World Heritage status.
It focuses on Hoi An's continuing creative culture, including traditional crafts, folk art, and the communities that keep these practices alive.
On 1 July 2025, the new Da Nang was established through the merger of the former Da Nang city and Quang Nam Province. The new municipality covers approximately 11,859.59 km² and has a population of more than 3 million.
Before the merger, international travelers normally understood the geography as:
Da Nang city + Quang Nam Province
Hoi An and My Son were therefore usually described as being in Quang Nam, while Da Nang referred to the smaller coastal city to the north.
The administrative map has now changed.
Under the current structure, Hoi An, My Son and the former Quang Nam heritage landscape are within the expanded Da Nang municipality.
This does not change the historical identity of these places.
Hoi An is still Hoi An. My Son is still My Son.
The change is administrative, not historical.
This is why an article about UNESCO sites in Da Nang written before 2025 may look very different from a current 2026 guide.
Hue is not part of Da Nang, so it should not be counted among the UNESCO sites in Da Nang.
Instead, the two destinations form one of central Vietnam's most useful heritage corridors:
Hue → Hai Van Pass → Da Nang → Marble Mountains → Hoi An → My Son → Cu Lao Cham
This route brings together imperial history, military heritage, Buddhist landscapes, Cham civilization, international trade, traditional crafts, and marine ecosystems.
For travelers with several days in central Vietnam, this is more meaningful than treating each destination as an isolated sightseeing stop.
Choose Hoi An if you want the most accessible combination of architecture, food, culture, and evening atmosphere.
Afternoon: Ancient Town
Evening: Lantern-lit streets and riverside
Two days: Hoi An + My Son
Day 1: Hoi An Ancient Town
Day 2: My Son Sanctuary
This is the best short itinerary for travelers primarily interested in World Heritage.
Three days: Add Marble Mountains
Day 1: Hoi An
Day 2: My Son
Day 3: Marble Mountains + Ma Nhai + Museum of Cham Sculpture
This itinerary adds documentary heritage, Buddhist history, and Cham art.
Four days: Add Cu Lao Cham
Day 4: Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
This creates a much more complete heritage-and-nature experience.
Older travel content may still describe Hoi An and My Son as destinations in Quang Nam.
That was correct before the 2025 administrative merger.
Do not use "UNESCO World Heritage" for every UNESCO designation
This is the most important terminology rule.
Use:
Leave flexibility for Cu Lao Cham
Sea conditions can affect island trips, so avoid placing Cu Lao Cham immediately before an important flight.
Respect living heritage
Traditional communities are not museum exhibits.
When visiting craft villages, religious sites, or local food-producing communities, ask before photographing people or workshops and buy directly from artisans where possible.
Yes. They can be combined into a multi-day Da Nang heritage itinerary. Hoi An works well in the afternoon and evening, My Son is best visited early, and Marble Mountains can be combined with the Museum of Cham Sculpture.
There is no single answer.
Best overall: Hoi An Ancient Town
Best for ancient history: My Son Sanctuary
Best for documentary heritage: Ma Nhai
Best for nature: Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
Best for living culture: Bà i Chòi and Hoi An's craft traditions
Not strictly required, but a guide adds significant value given the layered Champa religious history and the site's complex restoration story — including the internationally documented Indian-led restoration of several temple groups completed in 2022.
Walking the streets is free, but a heritage ticket is required to enter listed monuments such as ancient houses, assembly halls, and museums within the Old Town.
No — both are ranked as Vietnamese Special National Relics (Dong Duong in 2016, Dien Hai in 2017), a national rather than UNESCO designation. They're still well worth visiting alongside Da Nang's UNESCO sites for a fuller picture of Cham and Nguyen-dynasty history.
My Son is older by many centuries. Its temple towers date from the 4th to 14th centuries, while Hoi An's surviving architecture mainly dates from the 15th to 19th centuries as a trading port.
The phrase "UNESCO sites in Da Nang" now describes a much broader heritage landscape than it did before 2025.
The expanded Da Nang brings together:
It is a living heritage region where trade, religion, archaeology, documentary history, traditional crafts, food, performing arts, and biodiversity overlap.
For travelers, that creates a rare opportunity: within one expanded destination, you can walk through a centuries-old trading port, stand among Champa temple towers, read inscriptions carved into mountain caves, explore a marine biosphere reserve, watch traditional performances, and meet artisans who still practice techniques passed down through generations.

If you are searching for UNESCO sites in Da Nang, the answer is broader than two famous World Heritage Sites.
Today's Da Nang includes:
- Hoi An Ancient Town – UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999
- My Son Sanctuary – UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999
- Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve – UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2009
- Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains – UNESCO Memory of the World Regional Register for Asia-Pacific since 2022
- The art of Bà i Chòi in Central Viet Nam – UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2017
- Hoi An – UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art since 2023
These designations belong to different UNESCO programmes, so they should not all be described as "UNESCO World Heritage Sites."
Beyond UNESCO, the expanded city also contains National Special Relics, National Treasures, nationally recognized intangible cultural heritage, traditional craft villages, and culinary traditions.
That combination makes today's Da Nang one of the most diverse heritage destinations in central Vietnam.
Quick Answer: How Many UNESCO Sites Are in Da Nang?
There are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites within today's expanded Da Nang municipality: Hoi An Ancient Town and My Son Sanctuary.
However, Da Nang's UNESCO heritage extends beyond the World Heritage List. The city also includes the Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains, Bà i Chòi, and Hoi An's UNESCO Creative City designation.
This distinction matters. Hoi An and My Son are World Heritage properties; Cu Lao Cham is a Biosphere Reserve; Ma Nhai is documentary heritage; Bà i Chòi is intangible heritage; and Hoi An is a Creative City.
Core UNESCO Destinations in Danang & Highlights
1. Hoi An Ancient Town
- UNESCO status: World Heritage Site
- Inscribed: 1999
- Criteria: (ii), (v)
UNESCO describes Hoi An as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries.
Its importance comes from more than attractive yellow buildings and lanterns.
Hoi An developed as a place where merchants, travelers, and communities from different cultural backgrounds interacted through trade. Vietnamese traditions met influences from China, Japan, and Europe, creating a distinctive historic urban landscape. UNESCO specifically recognizes the town as an outstanding material expression of cultural fusion within an international commercial port.
What Makes Hoi An a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
Hoi An was inscribed under two criteria:
- Criterion (ii) recognizes its cultural exchange and fusion developed through international commerce.
- Criterion (v) recognizes it as an exceptionally well-preserved example of a traditional Asian trading port.
- Unlike many archaeological heritage sites, Hoi An remains a living town.
What to See in Hoi An
A first visit should include:
- Japanese Covered Bridge
- Historic merchant houses
- Chinese assembly halls
- Traditional temples and family shrines
- Hoi An Market
- Thu Bon River
- Lantern-lit streets
- Traditional performances
- Local craft workshops
That gives you two very different views of the same heritage landscape: the architecture and streets in daylight, followed by the lantern-lit atmosphere after dark.
Best for: architecture, history, food, photography, cultural experiences and first-time visitors.
2. My Son Sanctuary
- UNESCO status: World Heritage Site
- Inscribed: 1999
- Criteria: (ii), (iii)
The sanctuary contains the remains of temple towers associated with the Champa Kingdom, a civilization that developed along the central Vietnamese coast between the 4th and 13th centuries.
UNESCO describes My Son as an impressive illustration of a culture whose spiritual origins were strongly influenced by Hinduism from the Indian subcontinent. The sanctuary served as a major religious and political centre of Champa.
Why Is My Son a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
My Son was inscribed under:
That contrast is one reason visiting both sites is so rewarding.
- Criterion (ii): exceptional cultural interchange, particularly the adaptation of Hindu art and architecture by an indigenous Southeast Asian society.
- Criterion (iii): outstanding testimony to the Champa Kingdom and its importance in Southeast Asian political and cultural history.
- The setting is dramatically different from Hoi An.
That contrast is one reason visiting both sites is so rewarding.
My Son and Hoi An Tell Different Stories
Best for: Champa history, archaeology, architecture, and ancient civilizations.
3. Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains
- UNESCO recognition: Memory of the World Regional Register for Asia-Pacific
- Inscribed: 2022
- Location: Marble Mountains, Da Nang
It is easy to overlook because it is not a World Heritage Site.
Instead, it belongs to UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, which focuses on documentary heritage.
In 2022, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains was inscribed on the Asia-Pacific Regional Register.
What Is Ma Nhai?
The term refers to inscriptions carved directly into the rock surfaces of caves and cliffs at the Marble Mountains.
The collection includes 78 inscriptions:
- 76 in Chinese characters
- 2 in Nom script
One reason Ma Nhai is particularly valuable is that the inscriptions preserve historical information in the physical landscape where the texts were created.
Instead of reading history from a document removed from its original context, visitors encounter writing that remains part of the mountain, cave, and religious landscape.
Why Is Ma Nhai Important?
The inscriptions provide evidence of cultural, religious, and literary life over several centuries.
They also reflect cultural connections involving Vietnam, China, and Japan during periods of maritime and commercial exchange in the region.
For travelers, this makes the Marble Mountains more than a scenic attraction.
The mountains are simultaneously:
- A natural landscape
- A Buddhist and religious site
- An archaeological and historical landscape
- A place of ancient inscriptions
- A UNESCO-recognized documentary heritage site
4. Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
- UNESCO status: Biosphere Reserve
- Year of nomination: 2009
- The Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve adds a completely different dimension to Da Nang's UNESCO landscape.
It belongs to UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Programme, which focuses on biodiversity conservation and sustainable relationships between people and the environment.
UNESCO lists the reserve at 33,475 hectares, including approximately 6,341 hectares of terrestrial area and 26,777 hectares of marine area.
The reserve connects two important environments:
Hoi An's cultural landscape and the Cu Lao Cham archipelago and its marine ecosystems.
UNESCO notes the area's rich biodiversity, including coral, fish, molluscs, crustaceans and seaweed, together with island forests and other terrestrial ecosystems.
What Can Travelers Do in Cu Lao Cham?
Depending on weather and local operating conditions, visitors can enjoy:
- Island boat trips
- Snorkeling
- Swimming
- Marine-life experiences
- Coastal walks
- Seafood
- Fishing-community experiences
- Ecotourism activities
It is part of a much larger conservation landscape in which marine ecosystems, island communities, tourism, and traditional livelihoods are connected.
Best for: nature, islands, marine life, snorkeling and sustainable travel.
5. Bà i Chòi: Da Nang's UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Connection
- UNESCO status: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
- Inscribed: 2017
- Da Nang's heritage is not limited to buildings, ruins, and landscapes.
Bà i Chòi combines:
- Music
- Poetry
- Acting
- Painting
- Literature
- Traditional games
The tradition has historically been transmitted through families, artists, clubs, and community groups. UNESCO emphasizes the role of practitioners and communities in safeguarding the knowledge and skills associated with the art.
For travelers, Bà i Chòi provides an important reminder that cultural heritage is not always something preserved behind glass.
Sometimes it is performed, spoken, sung, and passed from one generation to another.
6. Hoi An: UNESCO Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art
- UNESCO designation: Creative City of Crafts and Folk Art
- Member since: 2023
- Another UNESCO connection comes from the UNESCO Creative Cities Network.
This designation is different from World Heritage status.
It focuses on Hoi An's continuing creative culture, including traditional crafts, folk art, and the communities that keep these practices alive.
Travelers can explore this side of Hoi An through:
- Lantern making
- Pottery
- Traditional carpentry
- Wood carving
- Folk performances
- Craft workshops
- Village-based cultural experiences
Da Nang UNESCO Sites Map and Distances
The expanded Da Nang administrative area is very large, so “in Da Nang” can refer either to the central coastal city or to the wider municipal territory created after the 2025 merger.
Travel times vary according to traffic, weather, road conditions and the exact departure point. My Son is inland, while Hoi An lies southeast of central Da Nang near the Thu Bon River.

Best UNESCO and Heritage Experiences in Da Nang
Why Are Hoi An and My Son Now Part of Da Nang?
This is the most important geographical update for anyone reading older travel guides.
On 1 July 2025, the new Da Nang was established through the merger of the former Da Nang city and Quang Nam Province. The new municipality covers approximately 11,859.59 km² and has a population of more than 3 million.
Before the merger, international travelers normally understood the geography as:
Da Nang city + Quang Nam Province
Hoi An and My Son were therefore usually described as being in Quang Nam, while Da Nang referred to the smaller coastal city to the north.
The administrative map has now changed.
Under the current structure, Hoi An, My Son and the former Quang Nam heritage landscape are within the expanded Da Nang municipality.
This does not change the historical identity of these places.
Hoi An is still Hoi An. My Son is still My Son.
The change is administrative, not historical.
This is why an article about UNESCO sites in Da Nang written before 2025 may look very different from a current 2026 guide.
Da Nang and the Heritage Corridor to Hue
Da Nang's heritage story also connects naturally with Hue, located to the north across the Hai Van Pass.
The Complex of Hue Monuments became Vietnam's first UNESCO World Heritage property in 1993. UNESCO's World Heritage List records Hue's inscription in 1993, followed later by Ha Long Bay in 1994 and Hoi An and My Son in 1999.
The Complex of Hue Monuments became Vietnam's first UNESCO World Heritage property in 1993. UNESCO's World Heritage List records Hue's inscription in 1993, followed later by Ha Long Bay in 1994 and Hoi An and My Son in 1999.
Hue is not part of Da Nang, so it should not be counted among the UNESCO sites in Da Nang.
Instead, the two destinations form one of central Vietnam's most useful heritage corridors:
Hue → Hai Van Pass → Da Nang → Marble Mountains → Hoi An → My Son → Cu Lao Cham
This route brings together imperial history, military heritage, Buddhist landscapes, Cham civilization, international trade, traditional crafts, and marine ecosystems.
For travelers with several days in central Vietnam, this is more meaningful than treating each destination as an isolated sightseeing stop.
How to Plan a UNESCO Heritage Trip in Da Nang
One day: Hoi An
Choose Hoi An if you want the most accessible combination of architecture, food, culture, and evening atmosphere.
Afternoon: Ancient Town
Evening: Lantern-lit streets and riverside
Two days: Hoi An + My Son
Day 1: Hoi An Ancient Town
Day 2: My Son Sanctuary
This is the best short itinerary for travelers primarily interested in World Heritage.
Three days: Add Marble Mountains
Day 1: Hoi An
Day 2: My Son
Day 3: Marble Mountains + Ma Nhai + Museum of Cham Sculpture
This itinerary adds documentary heritage, Buddhist history, and Cham art.
Four days: Add Cu Lao Cham
Day 4: Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
This creates a much more complete heritage-and-nature experience.
Practical Tips for Visiting UNESCO Sites in Da Nang
Check whether a guide uses the old or new administrative map
Older travel content may still describe Hoi An and My Son as destinations in Quang Nam.
That was correct before the 2025 administrative merger.
Today's expanded Da Nang includes the former Quang Nam territory.
Do not use "UNESCO World Heritage" for every UNESCO designation
This is the most important terminology rule.
Use:
- World Heritage Site for Hoi An and My Son
- Biosphere Reserve for Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An
- Memory of the World Regional Register for Ma Nhai
- Intangible Cultural Heritage for Bà i Chòi
- Creative City for Hoi An's Crafts and Folk Art designation
- Visit Hoi An late in the day
- Late afternoon and evening allow you to experience both the historic architecture and the lantern-lit town.
- Visit My Son early
- The valley can become hot, so an early start is more comfortable.
- Combine Marble Mountains with the Cham Museum
Leave flexibility for Cu Lao Cham
Sea conditions can affect island trips, so avoid placing Cu Lao Cham immediately before an important flight.
Respect living heritage
Traditional communities are not museum exhibits.
When visiting craft villages, religious sites, or local food-producing communities, ask before photographing people or workshops and buy directly from artisans where possible.
FAQs About UNESCO Sites in Da Nang
What UNESCO sites are in Da Nang?
The current Da Nang municipality contains Hoi An Ancient Town and My Son Sanctuary as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It also includes the Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains under the Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register, Bà i Chòi as Intangible Cultural Heritage, and Hoi An's Creative City designation.
Does Da Nang have a UNESCO site in the city centre?
The modern central urban area does not contain a UNESCO World Heritage property. However, the current expanded Da Nang municipality includes Hoi An Ancient Town and My Son Sanctuary, as well as other UNESCO-recognized heritage.
What is the most unusual UNESCO heritage site in Da Nang?
For many travelers, Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains is the most unusual. Rather than a conventional monument or museum collection, it consists of historical texts carved directly into caves and rock faces. The 78 inscriptions were recognized in 2022 under UNESCO's Memory of the World Asia-Pacific Regional Register.
Can I visit Hoi An, My Son and Marble Mountains in one trip?
Yes. They can be combined into a multi-day Da Nang heritage itinerary. Hoi An works well in the afternoon and evening, My Son is best visited early, and Marble Mountains can be combined with the Museum of Cham Sculpture.
What is the best UNESCO site in Da Nang?
There is no single answer.
Best overall: Hoi An Ancient Town
Best for ancient history: My Son Sanctuary
Best for documentary heritage: Ma Nhai
Best for nature: Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve
Best for living culture: Bà i Chòi and Hoi An's craft traditions
Do I need a guide at My Son Sanctuary?
Not strictly required, but a guide adds significant value given the layered Champa religious history and the site's complex restoration story — including the internationally documented Indian-led restoration of several temple groups completed in 2022.
Is there an entry fee for Hoi An Old Town?
Walking the streets is free, but a heritage ticket is required to enter listed monuments such as ancient houses, assembly halls, and museums within the Old Town.
Are Dong Duong Monastery and Dien Hai Citadel UNESCO sites too?
No — both are ranked as Vietnamese Special National Relics (Dong Duong in 2016, Dien Hai in 2017), a national rather than UNESCO designation. They're still well worth visiting alongside Da Nang's UNESCO sites for a fuller picture of Cham and Nguyen-dynasty history.
Is Hoi An or My Son older?
My Son is older by many centuries. Its temple towers date from the 4th to 14th centuries, while Hoi An's surviving architecture mainly dates from the 15th to 19th centuries as a trading port.
Final Takeaway: Da Nang's UNESCO Story Is Bigger Than World Heritage
The phrase "UNESCO sites in Da Nang" now describes a much broader heritage landscape than it did before 2025.
The expanded Da Nang brings together:
- Hoi An Ancient Town – a preserved international trading port and World Heritage Site.
- My Son Sanctuary – the sacred architectural legacy of the Champa Kingdom and a World Heritage Site.
- Ma Nhai at the Marble Mountains – 78 historical Han-Nom inscriptions recognized as documentary heritage under the Memory of the World Programme.
- Cu Lao Cham–Hoi An Biosphere Reserve – a landscape where cultural heritage, island communities and marine biodiversity meet.
- Bà i Chòi – a living Central Vietnamese performance tradition recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
- Hoi An Creative City – recognition of the town's continuing crafts and folk-art culture.
- Beyond UNESCO, Da Nang also preserves National Special Relics, National Treasures, traditional craft villages, culinary traditions, and local knowledge.
It is a living heritage region where trade, religion, archaeology, documentary history, traditional crafts, food, performing arts, and biodiversity overlap.
For travelers, that creates a rare opportunity: within one expanded destination, you can walk through a centuries-old trading port, stand among Champa temple towers, read inscriptions carved into mountain caves, explore a marine biosphere reserve, watch traditional performances, and meet artisans who still practice techniques passed down through generations.
