Da Nang: first night bathing beach to be launched in June

Da Nang plans to put the first night bathing beach into operation in mid June 2007 and launch a tour on conquering Son Tra mountain in Jeeps.

      Director of the Da Nang Tourism Department Ngo Quang Vinh said that the preparation work for the launching of the night bathing beach (on Pham Van Dong beach) was being completed.

It is expected that the night bathing beach will begin serving clients on the occasion of the tourism festival œDa Nang Sea Calling 2007 to be opened on June 15. This will be the first night bathing beach in Vietnam, an original tourism product that will make Da Nang even more attractive in the eyes of travellers.

Mr Vinh said that ensuring security for the night bathing beach would be the priority task. There will be a rescue team which will be on call at all times, ready for rescue work. The night bathing beach will be lit with a modern lighting system. Travel firms will cooperate closely with local authorities in order to ensure security for travellers.

Also on the occasion of the tourism festival œDa Nang Sea Calling 2007, Da Nang will launch a wild nature tour to Son Tra mountain in Jeeps on June 15. In the Jeep, a vehicle suitable for adventures, a tourist can ascend to the height of 600 m on Son Tra mountain, stay at the DRT wave transmitting station, and, from the height of 300 m, have a view of the city. Tourists will also have the chance to see the radar station, known as the ˜divine eyes of Indochina, and stay at the roots of a great and old tree, which has very big roots, capable of holding 3-4 persons.

The current Jeep club has 15 cars, and the members are people who love driving Jeeps. The club has organised several tours for German travellers recently. The travellers went from The Nam Hai (Dien Ban, Quang Nam province) to the My Son relics site and Hai Van Quan on Hai Van pass.
