Da Nang City (Tourane under French colonial period)
Da Nang, central Vietnam's largest coastal city and major port, is a vital economic, cultural, and educational center with over one million residents. It offers beautiful beaches, the famous Marble Mountains, vibrant nightlife, and delicious cuisine, attracting tourists. Historically, it played a significant role in the Vietnam War. Recently, rapid growth, foreign investment, and hosting international events have enhanced its global standing.

During the French period, Da Nang was known as Tourane. It became a Western-style city with significant investment in infrastructure and industries such as agriculture, handicrafts, and processing for export. Ship repair and services also flourished. Tourane was a crucial commercial center in Vietnam alongside Hai Phong and Saigon.
In 1950, the French handed over Da Nang to the Bao Dai government.
