Ban Co Peak Sees Tourism Surge Following Bill Gates’ Scenic Tea Visit

Ban Co Peak, situated on the majestic Son Tra Peninsula in Da Nang, has long been a favorite spot for locals and tourists seeking panoramic views of the city. However, the location has recently seen an unprecedented surge in visitors following a high-profile 'check-in' by billionaire Bill Gates. The tech mogul was spotted enjoying a peaceful tea session on the peak, sparking widespread curiosity and a social media frenzy. On a recent Sunday, hundreds of people flocked to the summit to experience the same atmosphere and capture photos at the spot where the billionaire sat.

Standing at 700 meters above sea level, Ban Co Peak offers a cool, misty climate and a legendary history associated with the statue of a deity playing chess. From this vantage point, one can see the entire expanse of Da Nang, from the winding Han River to the vast blue ocean. Visitors like Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa from Quang Nam and Mr. Ngo Tien Dung from Ha Tinh mentioned that they were motivated to visit after seeing the news about Bill Gates. For many, it was their first time braving the winding roads of Son Tra to reach the summit, and they were not disappointed by the ethereal beauty and fresh air.

The 'Bill Gates effect' has highlighted the global appeal of Da Nang’s natural landmarks. International tourists have also been seen joining the crowds, drawn by the combination of natural beauty and the recent celebrity endorsement. Despite the increase in foot traffic, the peak remains a place of mystery and charm, especially when the clouds roll in, partially obscuring the city below. As Da Nang continues to position itself as a top-tier travel destination, spots like Ban Co Peak prove that sometimes the simplest pleasures—like a cup of tea with a view—are the most enticing.
