With a quick research in advance, one can easily find a good spot to enjoy the spectacular water and fire performances. As the shortest way to reach the city center from Da Nang International Airport, crossing the beautiful Han river, the Bridge of Dragon is a must-go destination!

The impressive architecture

The Dragon Bridge of Da Nang, Vietnam is the world’s largest dragon-shaped steel bridge. With an installation cost of $85 million, it has 6 lanes and 666 meters of undulating steel shaped into a Ly-Dynasty dragon figure – the symbol of prosperity in Vietnamese culture. This gorgeous one-of-a-kind metal dragon also “breathes” fire and water weekly. The deliberate integration of lighting technology, with more than 2,500 LED lights, exquisitely shows the dragon’s body and its vivid fire-breathing head.

Da Nang Dragon Bridge has attracted worldwide attention as a shining example for innovation in architecture. Its unusual arch support system has gained widespread regard in the designing industry and global media. This Bridge of Dragon exemplifies how the visual qualities of a design may meet both cultural and functional standards.  

The Dragon Bridge Da Nang fire time

As a gateway for outside visitors to enter Da Nang city, Han River Dragon Bridge is an exclusive symbol – a statement for the city’s modern development. What’s more, it is the fire and water performance of this Bridge of Dragon that really intrigues tourists. After its operation was postponed for a while due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the show has resumed since the beginning of 2022 – marking the recovery of Da Nang and its tourism sector. 

On every Saturday, Sunday and major holiday such as Vietnamese Tet, the Dragon Bridge would breathe fire at 9 p.m. Since there would be a large crowd excitedly waiting for the show to start from as soon as 8 p.m, you would want to make a reservation at a nearby restaurant for a more enjoyable seat and experience.
