The project was initiated to promote local tourism while improving the urban aesthetics of the residential alleys.
Many of the paintings use 3D trompe l'oeil techniques to create depth and interactive optical illusions for photographs.
The artwork covers a series of interconnected residential walls rather than a single museum building.
The project has been credited with helping to reduce littering in the previously neglected alleyways.
Da Nang Fresco Village is an urban art project featuring mural paintings on the walls of residential alleyways in the Hai Chau district. The site was created through a collaboration between local artists and volunteers to transform a formerly grey, industrial-style passage into a vibrant tourist destination. The murals primarily depict scenes of Da Nang’s local life, traditional fishing culture, and iconic city landmarks like the Dragon Bridge. It functions as an open-air art gallery maintained by the local community. Visitors walk through narrow residential lanes to view the artworks integrated directly onto house facades and concrete walls.

Visit during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense midday heat trapped in the narrow alleys.
Be mindful that these are functioning residential homes; keep noise levels low to respect local residents.
Wear comfortable walking shoes as the surface is uneven concrete.
Avoid visiting during heavy rainfall as the narrow alleys can become slippery and restricted.
Maintain a quiet volume; do not enter private homes or step onto porches without permission.
