Close-up of Dragon Bridge in Da Nang "fire ferry spitting rain"

Dragon Bridge has a total construction investment of more than 1,700 billion VND. Construction of the bridge began in July 2009 and is the only single-arch (one-plane) bridge in Southeast Asia at the time of its inauguration.

The bridge has a total length of 666m, a width of 37.5m, and 6 lanes; the highlight is the design of a 560m long steel dragon flying above the bridge surface.

Dragon Bridge opened to traffic on March 29, 2013, on the occasion of the 38th anniversary of the liberation of Da Nang city.

Dragon Bridge is one of the bridges with the most unique architecture in Vietnam, the shortest road connecting Da Nang International Airport with the main roads in the city and My Khe beach.

Not only acting as the city's main traffic artery, Dragon Bridge with its architecture simulating a Ly Dynasty dragon flying out to sea is one of the symbols of Da Nang city.

Night is the best time to see the Dragon Bridge. The entire body of the Dragon is fitted with 15,000 LED lights, the bridge becomes a real Dragon with shimmering color effects.

Every Saturday and Sunday evening and on holidays and Tet, people and tourists have the opportunity to see the steel dragon breathe fire and rain in a very unique way.

For tourists coming to Da Nang, watching the Dragon Bridge breathe fire and water is one of the interesting experiences.

Da Nang is not only a destination of beautiful beaches, ancient pagodas and delicious food, but also hosts famous international events such as the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival.

Once a year, fireworks teams from around the world gather to compete in the biggest fireworks competition of the year in Da Nang. The fireworks displays take place on the Han River; therefore, the Dragon Bridge is a great place to watch the fireworks for free.
