Know before you go

The ring around the mountain does not close in asphalt. Past the eastern end of this road the map shows an unnamed concrete section with no lighting: cars are marked destination-only there, motorbikes are allowed through.

OpenStreetMap tags: surface=concrete, lit=no, motorcycle=yes

There is no fuel on the peninsula itself: the nearest station is 2 km away from the road. Fill up in the city before you set off.

When to ride

The peninsula sits in the sea right next to the city, so its weather is Da Nang’s weather: dry months, and months when a single October brings more rain than January to June together.
