There is only one way to sit at the most photographed table in Da Nang: book it before you arrive. Turn up at this rooftop near sunset and you will be shown to an inside table, because the railing has been spoken for since the afternoon.
From the seat, the line of My Khe beach runs away below your feet and the Son Tra peninsula catches the right edge of the frame. The infinity pool on the same roof sits in the foreground, so the water comes into your photos too.
The real event is the forty minutes after the sun starts down. The sky moves from orange to violet, the streetlights along the beach road come on, and the hotel windows light one by one. A signature cocktail and a plate of small bites arrive while it happens.
If you do not drink, the cocktail becomes a mocktail at the same price. From two people up, the platter comes as a six-bite board to share.
