After nearly 30 years of construction and development, on June 12, 2025, the National Assembly officially adopted a Resolution on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units in 2025. Accordingly, the entire natural area and population of the former Da Nang City and Quang Nam Province were consolidated to establish the new Da Nang City.
The newly established Da Nang City covers a natural area of 11,859.59 square kilometers with a population of 3,065,628 people. It borders Hue City to the north, Quang Ngai Province to the south, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic to the west, and the East Sea to the east. Da Nang is the largest in area among the six centrally governed cities.
Da Nang City comprises 94 commune-level administrative units, including 23 wards, 70 communes, and one special zone, Hoang Sa. The political and administrative center is located in Hai Chau Ward, Da Nang City.
