Da Nang districts: which one to choose

Since 1 July 2025 Da Nang no longer has districts (quận): the city is divided into new wards (phường) under Resolution No. 1659/NQ-UBTVQH15, and Da Nang itself has merged with Quảng Nam province (National Assembly Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15). Listings and locals still use the old district and neighbourhood names, and that is how people choose where to live. Below are the four districts people search for most.
