1.2. Decoding the name \"Ban Co Peak\" and the thrilling legend of the fairy chessboard<\/span><\/h3>\n

The ancients tell that, amidst the thousands of clouds of Son Tra, there is a place where fairies often came to enjoy the beautiful scenery and play chess. High on the mountain peak, endless games of chess were laid out, causing this place to gradually be called by the familiar name: Ban Co Peak (Chessboard Peak).<\/span><\/p>\n

During one descent to earth, De Thich - a famously wise fairy - played a game of chess with a Fairy that lasted day after day. The chess position was complicated, no one could find the perfect move. Gradually, the fairy guests left one by one, leaving only De Thich sitting quietly, deep in thought in front of the unfinished chessboard. That legend sowed a mystical hue onto the mountain peak, both real and dreamy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, when setting foot on Ban Co peak in Da Nang, visitors will encounter the statue of De Thich sitting thoughtfully beside the stone chessboard. That image seems to recreate the unfinished chess game of the past, reminding of patience, wisdom and the desire to find the solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Conquering the road up to Ban Co Peak for the first time always brings a lot of excitement: the winding road, the cool sea breeze and the Son Tra scenery gradually appearing. If you are looking for an easy-to-remember and safe route, the following content will be the \"map\" for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.1. What means of transport should you choose to travel safely to Ban Co Peak?<\/span><\/h3>\n

2.1.1. Manual\/Semi-automatic motorbike<\/span><\/h4>\n

A manual motorbike is the safest and most suitable choice to conquer the road up to Ban Co Peak. Characterized by high slopes and many sharp curves, a manual motorbike helps control speed better and ensures road grip. This is also the means highly recommended by tourists and locals when exploring the Son Tra peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.1.2. Scooter:\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

According to traffic management regulations,<\/a><\/span>Da Nang officially bans scooters from going up the Son Tra peninsula to ensure safety for tourists. The reason is that the braking system and hill-climbing ability of scooters are not suitable for the uniquely winding, steep road sections here. If you want to experience it by motorbike, tourists should choose to rent a manual motorbike to travel more safely. Before departing, do not forget to check the brakes, tires and fill up the gas tank to make the journey to Ban Co Peak more complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.1.3. Car\/Service vehicle<\/span><\/h4>\n

If you travel in a large group or a family with young children, a car or service vehicle is an ideal choice. Both comfortable and safe, you can enjoy the trip without worrying about steering on winding slopes. In particular, service vehicles specializing in serving Son Tra visitors often have drivers familiar with the road, helping the journey to be more peaceful. However, the road is quite narrow, so you should only choose vehicles with 16 seats or less for easy movement.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast to that tranquility, the route from Hoang Sa leading past Linh Ung pagoda is a more challenging journey. The road is steep, winding, but in return is the scenery opening up before your eyes: the blue sea embracing the horizon, the majestic Linh Ung pagoda amidst the clouds and sky.
