At Son Tra Mountain, you can meet several species of primates, including one of the rarest of monkeys in the world--the red-shanked douc langurs. Named "Monkey Mountain" by American soldiers stationed here during the Vietnam War, the area remains covered with an evergreen tropical forests. Hike or bike along the main paved road for a chance to run into a family of doucs watching passers-by from the treetops. Observe these colorful acrobats, with white tails and golden faces, screaming and jumping from branch to branch. Notice the rope bridges suspended between trees, made specifically for the monkeys. Other residents of the mountain include long-tailed macaques, rhesus macaques, and pygmy slow lorises.

Wow wow wow! A fabulous place to enjoy the freshness, wild monkeys, cool breezes and panoramic views of the Ocean and clouds. The highlights here is the Linh Ung Bai But Pagoda with the tallest Lady Buddha Statue in Vietnam. The 100 year old banyan tree, Helicoter pad, chess table peak, etc. If you would like to explore this landscape, be well prepared!

Such a nice, scenic escape from to the mountains 😊 Best part for me is the cool, fresh air and all the monkeys 🐒 The monkeys are pretty intense though, if you have any food be sure to hide it from them! Feeding the monkeys looks like it will be fun but keep in mind a couple things before doing so. Many monkeys die crossing the busy road trying to get food from humans, some monkeys get aggressive with each other and hurt the weaker ones stopping them from eating anything as well. If it's something you still really want to do just make sure you feed them nuts or fruits.. sugary/ processed food is terrible for the monkey's health! Otherwise just enjoy the views and nature watching 👀

Great view over Da Nang! The roads leading up here are adventurous, but manageable with a motorbike. I didn’t see a single monkey on the way though.

Beautiful mountain, a quick getaway from the city with terrific scenery. The peninsula has a temple, a museum, many resorts, etc. It works well for all sorts of people. Must see place when you are in Danang

The road was blocked for automatic scooters ? But we still spot some monkeys
