The best time to go to the top of Chess Board 

Da Nang is a city located close to the sea so the year round climate is strongly influenced by the sea. There will be two dry, rainy seasons a year. If you come here during the rainy season, you can encounter storms so it is quite difficult to move. According to Da Nang tourism experience, you should come in the dry season, from January to August.

What legend is the Top of Chess Board associated with? 

According to legend, due to owning a charming landscape, there were two very good chess elves who chose the top of Son Tra peninsula as a place to “play chess”. The 2 fairies are both very good at chess so the match went on for a very long time from day to month. Suddenly one day a fairy flew down from the sky to the beach right next to the peninsula to have fun and swim. This causes one player to neglect the game, go the wrong move and lose the game.

The winner went to the sky and rode to the sky, the other because he could not accept to lose, so he decided to sit back and think to find a move to turn the flag. However, thinking forever and still no results. From this legend, the top of Son Tra peninsula was called Ban Co peak . In addition, the people also built a chessboard with a throne to reflect on that legend.
