Son Tra Mountain, also known as Monkey Mountain, stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the Son Tra Peninsula near Da Nang. Used as an observation base during the American-Vietnam War, the mountain rises to a height of 2,790 feet (850 meters). Midway up the peak, visitors can explore the Linh Ung Pagoda, which houses the impressive Lady Buddha statue. The mountain’s jungle-covered cliffs are home to troops of monkeys, adding a lively and natural element to the ascent. Today, visitors can experience a blend of historical significance, spiritual serenity, and wildlife encounters.
