Landmark
Dragon Bridge (Cầu Rồng) is a grandiose engineering structure crossing the Han River and connecting Da Nang's business center with the city's main beaches. Opened in 2013 to commemorate the city's liberation anniversary, the bridge has become the region's hallmark thanks to its unique shape and impressive light and pyrotechnic show.

Engineering wonder and show
Designed by the American company Ammann & Whitney, the project is staggering in scale: the total length of the structure is 666.5 meters, and its weight is 1,000 tons. The bridge features 6 traffic lanes and spectacular night illumination from 15,000 LEDs that constantly change colors.
Main feature: on weekends and holidays at 21:00, the famous spectacle takes place here. The dragon's head breathes fire (2 rounds of 9 bursts) and sprays water (3 rounds). For the best view, it is recommended to secure spots on the embankment in advance — be careful, as water splashes are possible in the area directly in front of the dragon's head.
The dry season with clear skies is the ideal time for viewing the night illumination and taking quality photographs.
