Dragon Bridge in Danang City
Dragon Bridge is the 6th bridge built across the Han River of Da Nang, connecting Nguyen Van Linh Street with Vo Van Kiet Street. The previous five bridges are Song Han, Thuan Phuoc, Nguyen Van Troi, Tran Thi Ly, and Tien Son Bridges.
Dragon Bridge is shaped like a yellow, long dragon, flying to the East Sea. It wants to develop and reach out to the great sea of Da Nang City.
The bridge is 666 m long and 37.5 m wide, with six running lanes and two sidewalks for pedestrians. The dragon weighs nearly 9,000 tons and is Vietnam's most enormous steel dragon.
Dragon Bridge was officially opened to traffic on March 29, 2013, for $88 million, equivalent to VND 1,500 billion. The bridge over the Han River makes it convenient to move from the seaside city to Da Nang International Airport, so every day, thousands of motorbikes and cars move up and down this bridge.
To feature the Dragon Bridge – one of the tourist highlights in Da Nang, the design team had to use 2,500 LED lights to light the bridge every night.
Dragon Bridge spits water and fire at 9:00 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays. The spraying time of water and fire is within 15 minutes.
According to the vote of Architecture and Design, the Dragon Bridge in Vietnam is one of the 15 most beautiful bridges in the world and honorably received the grand prize from the Council of American Engineering Companies.
The Danang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) is held annually. It is the largest festival in the city, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to admire the fireworks. The festival takes place near the Dragon Bridge. You can go to this place to have the perfect view of the fireworks.
