Prolonged heavy downpours dampening Da Nang last month have caused landslides and rockfalls alongside several roads leading to the Son Tra Peninsula.

Rockfalls alongside a section of a route leading to the peninsula

A volume of soil and stones have spilled out onto a concrete road stretching from the headquarters of the Company No 4 to the Om stream and the Ho Sau (Deep Hole) area, affecting the traffic movement.

Still worse, other routes leading to the peninsula are now facing a high risk of quantities of rocks falling freely from the existing cracked cliffs in case of possible torrential rain, which may cause danger for road users.

To ensure the ultimate safety of travellers on these landsides-ravaged paths, warning signs have already been placed in order to avoid any unexpected incidents.

In the current context of erratic weather change and possible torrential rains in the coming days, locals and visitors should be strongly cautious whilst visiting the peninsula for safety reasons.
