Visitors can drive up Son Tra Peninsula again from Wednesday, October 14, six days after the management board shut the roads because of the weather.

The Son Tra Peninsula and Da Nang Beaches Management Board suspended sightseeing on October 8, citing the risk of landslides, flash floods and falling trees after heavy rain, according to CafeF's report on the closure and the board's reopening notice as relayed by Bao Da Nang. The board says the routes reopened once the weather settled.

The notice also repeats the peninsula's usual rules. Visitors should stay on the permitted routes, keep out of restricted areas, take their litter with them and leave wild animals unfed. The board warned that the weather could turn again and asked visitors to follow its guidance.

Why it matters

Son Tra's steep roads can close on short notice when heavy rain makes slopes unstable, as this week showed. The reopening notice gives no hour-by-hour conditions, and it doesn't say whether any section stays restricted. Anyone planning a trip should check the board's current notices before setting out, since the board itself says conditions may change.
