Visit the winding dragon of Da Nang - Dragon Bridge
The first bridge you should set foot on when landing in Da Nang is the Dragon Bridge - the city's most famous bridge. This bridge was initiated and completed within 4 years from 2009 to 2013, connecting the airport to Da Nang's beaches.
The bridge is designed to resemble a flying dragon, reaching out into the vast sea with a total length of 666m. With six lanes for vehicles and two lanes for pedestrians, this bridge helps minimize traffic congestion and provides opportunities for tourists to visit and take photos whenever they can.
The dragon body is adorned with many LED lights to illuminate it at night; from afar, you will see Da Nang boasting a majestic, formidable Golden Dragon. If you want to see the Golden Dragon breathe fire, come here on weekends or during major holidays to not miss this wonderful moment.

The one-of-a-kind bridge spanning the Han River - Han River Swing Bridge
Before the Dragon Bridge was put into operation, the Han River Swing Bridge was the most mentioned image when talking about the bridges of Da Nang. Despite being overshadowed, this bridge still leaves many fascinated in the hearts of locals and tourists alike.
Put into operation in 2000, the bridge rotates at midnight every day to help improve waterway traffic. This “movement' has created a unique feature for the bridge; Da Nang residents see it as a beautiful symbol of the city's dynamic development.
This bridge is 487.7m long, connecting the two banks of the Han River. Tourists can walk along the bridge to admire and capture beautiful moments. This bridge is the pioneer for other unique bridges of Da Nang.

Thuan Phuoc Suspension Bridge
Thuan Phuoc Suspension Bridge, constructed three years after Han River Swing Bridge, began operation in 2009. It's Vietnam's longest suspension bridge, spanning 1856 meters, connecting Nguyen Tat Thanh Road to Man Quang Bridge.
Similar to Han River Swing Bridge, this bridge has somewhat fallen out of favor since Dragon Bridge officially opened. However, it still silently contributes to traffic flow, economic development, and welcomes tourists.
Adorned with a dazzling LED lighting system, Thuan Phuoc Bridge transforms itself every night, illuminating a corner of the Han River. This not only enhances the bridge's beauty but also showcases the vibrant energy of the young city of Da Nang. From afar, no one can claim this bridge is outdated or inferior to Dragon Bridge.

Nowadays, the younger generation is no longer drawn to overly modern things but instead prefers places with a touch of antiquity. Hence, the historical bridges of Da Nang, with nearly half a century of history like Nguyen Van Troi Bridge, have become more appealing than ever.
With its sturdy arches made of Poni steel, Nguyen Van Troi Bridge stands as a proud witness that has endured two of Vietnam's most challenging wars. Hence, the locals consider the bridge a significant relic of the city, a place that preserves countless memories of the past.
Tran Thi Ly Bridge Shines Most Beautifully at Night. @syltrn
Tran Thi Ly Bridge, with a considerable age, was constructed during the French colonial period. Initially built to serve the railway, it was later renovated into a pedestrian bridge for the locals. One of the captivating features of Tran Thi Ly Bridge is its enchanting and mystical appearance at night. It's quite fascinating that the bridge's lighting system automatically adjusts according to the seasons; during the rainy season, the bridge is illuminated in shades of yellow, orange, and pink. But come the sunny season, it transitions to hues of yellow, purple, blue, and green. Such allure is why visitors to these Da Nang bridges often find themselves lingering.
