These uniquely designed bridges connect the two banks of the Han River.

The Han River flows into Da Nang Bay, dividing the city into eastern and western banks. The eastern bank comprises the coastal districts of Son Tra and Ngu Hanh Son; the western bank includes the districts of Hai Chau, Thanh Khe, and Cam Le. The Han River is a significant scenic axis of Da Nang City. Connecting the two banks of the beautiful Han River are five iconic bridges. Each bridge possesses its own unique beauty and historical significance. The image shows Thuan Phuoc Bridge.

Thuan Phuoc Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Han River, connecting Nguyen Tat Thanh Street with Man Quang Bridge, between Hai Chau and Son Tra districts. Construction began in 2003 and the bridge was inaugurated in 2009.

Located at the end of the Han River, spanning Da Nang Bay, the bridge is 1,856m long and 18m wide, with two towers approximately 80m high from the pile base, and three cable-stayed spans totaling 655m. The Thuận Phước bridge's slender and graceful architecture creates a picturesque scene at the mouth of the sea and the Sơn Trà peninsula.

Thuan Phuoc Bridge attracts many locals and tourists who come to "hunt" for romantic sunset moments.

The Han River Bridge is the country's first swing bridge, inaugurated in 2000. The bridge is 487.7 meters long and 12.9 meters wide, connecting two central routes between Hai Chau and Son Tra districts. Beyond its transportation function, the Han River Bridge also holds immense aesthetic value, serving as a picturesque landmark in the heart of the city.

The section of the bridge resting on the central pier can rotate 90 degrees parallel to the current to allow large ships to pass through. The structure is also a symbol of the collaboration and consensus between the government and the people, with Da Nang residents contributing money to its construction.

The Dragon Bridge is located south of the Han River Bridge, about 1.5 km away from it. It's a bridge with a unique architectural design. The entire structure mimics the shape of a dragon coiling and stretching out towards the sea.

The Dragon Bridge was started in 2009 and completed in 2013. The bridge has a reinforced concrete structure combined with steel, measuring 666.5m in length and 37.5m in width, and is divided into 5 spans.

The dragon's head is designed to喷 water and fire to entertain tourists on weekend nights, holidays, and Tet (Vietnamese New Year). This is an impressive sight that tourists cannot miss when visiting the coastal city of Da Nang.

Not far from there are two parallel bridges connecting Hai Chau District and Ngu Hanh Son District, including Tran Thi Ly Bridge (left) and Nguyen Van Troi Bridge.

The Nguyen Van Troi Bridge was built in 1960 with an architectural design consisting of 14 Poni steel truss spans, a total length of 513.8m, a carriageway width of 8.5m, and no sidewalks for pedestrians. The Nguyen Van Troi Bridge was the first road bridge to cross the Han River.

In 2012, the Nguyen Van Troi bridge ceased operation, and in 2013, after renovations, it was redesigned to include a raised and lowered platform to allow boats to pass through, as well as to serve the needs of pedestrians, recreational activities, and sightseeing for locals and tourists.

The Nguyen Van Troi Bridge offers visitors a peaceful and serene atmosphere amidst a vibrant city. The bridge is becoming a popular photo spot and serves as part of Da Nang's pedestrian zone.

Right next to the Nguyen Van Troi pedestrian bridge is the Tran Thi Ly bridge. The bridge is shaped like a sail reaching out to sea. It is also equipped with a modern lighting system, making it look dazzling at night.

With its five famous bridges, Da Nang city boasts a unique beauty. At night, the Han River becomes dazzling with the lights and design of the bridges connecting the east and west banks.
