Suoi Hoa / "Flower Stream"
Located just under an hour from Da Nang City, this popular swimming hole is quickly growing in both size and stature amongst the local population. What used to be an obscure place that few people in Da Nang knew about has now become a pretty well known destination for many people in the city.
Set in the same valley as Ngam Doi Waterfall Resort and Hoa Phu Thanh Rafting, this is a naturally occurring spring that has been blasted and widened, and given a channel with pools to fill up and flow between. There is one large pool and numerous smaller pools to swim in. They are almost universally shallow, with the deepest being just over a meter. A large artificial bridge crosses over the top-most pool, although it doesn't really go anywhere and is more for show. Parking should be around 2,000VND/bike, and the entrance shouldn't be more than around 25,000, so it is a good value if you commit to the drive out here. I don't know if it's a place to return to time and time again but it's well worth it stopping in and seeing it once or twice. |
