The peninsula is located in ThoQuang (ThọQuang) ward, Son Tra (SơnTrà) district, and has 4,439 hectares of land area. It has a long coastline, which is blue and clear throughout the year.

Linh Ung pagoda in Son Tra peninsula is the largest, newest, and most beautiful pagoda in three Linh Ung pagodas of Danang. Located at about 10km to the northeast of the center of Da nang city, at the height of 693m above the sea level, this pagoda is considered a privilege that the Mother Nature has generously offered to Danang. The important highlight of Linh Ung pagoda s the statue of Avalokitesvara Buddha, which is considered the highest in Vietnam (Việt Nam) (67 meters). The statue stands leaning against the mountain overlooking the sea.

2. Ban Co Peak (Đỉnh Bàn Cờ)

The way up to this peak is winding, which is a journey that you could experience many beautiful and dreaming sceneries of Son Tra peninsula. Experiencing the road from the foot of the peninsula to Ban Co peak, all tiredness will be carried away by the immense space as the place of Elysium. Standing on this high point of nearly 700 meters, you can see the whole Danang. In the distance, there is a busy and bustling city with buildings and 9 famous bridges spanning Han (Hàn) River. It is highly recommended to climb to the peak of Ban Co in the early morning, when the city has still not awaken, the nature in this peninsula also have just stirred, and the sun  light has glimmered on the other side of the mountain.

3. Millennial Banyan Tree (Cây Đa Ngàn Năm)

Son Tra peninsulatourism

At the 63 sub-region of Son Tra (Sơn Trà) natural reserve, there are many banyan trees creating a population of banyan trees. In this population, there is a very beautiful banyan tree with many secondary roots hanging down deeply into the ground, creating a beauty that not many places acquire. According to the report of the Management Board of Son Tra peninsula, this banyan tree has a circumference of 10 meters, 26 secondary roots, each about 25 meters in height. The banyan tree is considered as the heritage of the city and being a tourist attraction of the city.

This is another name of the radar station 29 on Son Tra peninsula. Today, the peak of Son Tra peninsula has still been used to place the radar observation station serving many fields from Vietnamese civil aviation, air force, to navy. The radar station has a function of protecting the safety of a vast airspace of Vietnam from Dong Hoi (Đồng Hới) (Quang Binh (Quảng Bình)) to Buon Ma Thuot (Buôn Ma Thuột). Because this is a military area and still used in the protection of sovereignty, tourists could not visit radar stations, but there are still many positions on the roads around the mountain you can stop and take interesting pictures with three featured white orbs.
