    What to know before you go

    • Dragon Bridge (Cầu Rồng) stretches across the Han River in central Da Nang and is designed as a golden dragon, a powerful symbol in Vietnamese culture. It is one of the city's best-known modern landmarks and a convenient stop between the riverside, Han Market, and Da Nang's central beach area.
    • The bridge is most famous for its weekend fire-and-water performance, which draws large crowds along the riverbanks. For solo travelers, the bridge is a free attraction with excellent nighttime views, but it is best to arrive early for a good viewing spot and to keep valuables secure in crowded areas.
