DRAGON BRIDGE - NEW SYMBOL OF DA NANG

The Dragon Bridge is the architectural centerpiece of Da Nang, Vietnam, stretching 666 meters across the scenic Han River. Modeled after a magnificent creature from the Ly Dynasty, the golden steel structure serves as a powerful symbol of the nation’s rising prosperity and growth.

While it functions daily as a vital six-lane highway, the bridge transforms entirely on weekend nights. At 9:00 PM every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, traffic is halted completely. Thousands of spectators gather along the riverbanks to watch the massive dragon head blast intense bursts of fire, immediately followed by a spectacular rain of water.
