Da Nang is not only famous for its blue sea and golden sunshine but is also known as the "city of bridges". Each structure here bears a distinct architectural mark, reflecting the dynamic and modern beauty of the young city by the Han River. From the Dragon Bridge, Han River Bridge to the Golden Bridge in Ba Na Hills, the bridges in Da Nang not only connect two banks, but also connect emotions - becoming characteristic tourism symbols attracting millions of visitors every year.
1.Dragon Bridge
Located right in the city center, the Dragon Bridget crosses the Han River, connecting Nguyen Van Linh street with Vo Van Kiet street, leading straight to My Khe beach. This is a strategic location, both convenient for traffic and an ideal scenic spot in the journey to explore the bridges in Da Nang.
With a unique design inspired by the Ly Dynasty Dragon image, the bridge is made of steel weighing thousands of tons, its head and body winding strongly, symbolizing the vitality and desire to reach out to the big sea of the city.
Fire & water breathing schedule: At 21:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays, the Dragon Bridge becomes the focus attracting tourists.
Best viewing spot: For an ideal view, you should stand on the sidewalk of Tran Hung Dao street - where you can observe the panorama of the Dragon Bridge breathing fire and the bustling crowd.
Suggested photo angle: If you want a more romantic scene, from the Love Bridge, you can capture the winding Dragon body, sparkling reflecting lights - a "specialty" photo angle sought after by many tourists every weekend evening.
2. Han River Bridge
If the Dragon Bridge is a symbol of youth, the Han River Bridge makes its mark with a profound, quiet beauty. The bridge carries the story of the spirit of solidarity and creativity of the people of Da Nang, because this is the first swing bridge in Vietnam and was built from their own contributions. Each span of the bridge has thus become a testament to the city's self-reliance will and desire for development.
Bridge swinging schedule: At 23:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, the entire middle part of the bridge slowly turns sideways, giving way for boats to pass back and forth on the Han River.
Important note: If you want to fully admire the swinging bridge scene, you should arrive early before the road closure time (around 22:00) to choose a good spot, usually from the East bank on Tran Hung Dao street. This is also a quiet and convenient scenic spot for taking photos.
2. Golden Bridge
Hidden amidst the mountains and forests of Ba Na, cầu Vàng is about 150m long, gently curving halfway up the mountain, surrounded by white clouds and green forests. The bridge is like a golden silk strip lifted by "giant stone hands" up in the sky - a scene that is both magical and makes tourists feel like they are lost in another world.
To get to the Golden Bridge, tourists buy tickets to the Sun World Ba Na Hills tourist area and then travel by cable car - a short journey but enough to see the majestic panorama of mountains and forests and feel the signature chilly air of the highlands.
Tip: If you want to have "million-like" photos, come early in the morning, when the fog still lightly covers the stone hands and the first sunlight of the day shines through the clouds - that is the moment the Golden Bridge is most beautiful, quiet, and poetic.S
4. Love Bridge
Love Bridge is located on Tran Hung Dao street, stretching out to the Han River like a soft silk strip in the city center. Completed in 2015 by DHC Marina Company, the bridge is inspired by famous love bridges in Europe, but is "breathed soul into" by the very own romantic feature of Da Nang - simple, warm, and close.
With a length of about 68 meters, the bridge is decorated with hundreds of heart-shaped red lanterns, brilliant when night falls. This is also where lovers exchange promises by hooking love padlocks onto the railing, then throwing the keys into the river, as if sending their feelings to the gentle Han River.
Not only for couples, the bridge is also an ideal place for tourists to stroll and enjoy the scenery. Standing on the bridge, you can see the Carp Turning into Dragon Statue stretching up to spout water and the luxurious DHC Marina yacht club right next to it - two symbols contributing to creating the characteristic scenery of this area.
Evening is the most beautiful time to visit, when the whole space is filled with lights, the river wind caresses, and melodious music from the yachts echoes - a scene enough to make anyone want to stop a little longer.
5. Tran Thi Ly Bridge
Tran Thi Ly Bridge lies majestically across the Han River, right next to Nguyen Van Troi bridge - a place that preserves both the historical breath and the modern pace of life of Da Nang. Few people know that this bridge used to be the Lattre de Tassigny railway bridge built by the French in 1950. By 2009, the structure was completely reconstructed and named Tran Thi Ly - the loyal heroine of the city, as a profound tribute. After nearly 4 years of construction, the bridge was officially inaugurated in March 2013, opening a new look for the riverside city.
The point that makes Tran Thi Ly Bridge different is its leaning sail design - a symbol for Da Nang's desire to reach out to the big sea. When night falls, the color-changing LED system turns the bridge into a brilliant strip of light, reflecting sparklingly on the river surface like a moving picture.

6. Thuan Phuoc Bridge
Thuan Phuoc Bridge is located at the mouth of the Han River, where the water flows into the East Sea - a location likened to a gate connecting the city and the ocean. The bridge began construction in 2003, inaugurated in 2009, with a modern suspension bridge design. Not only an important traffic structure, this is also the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam, expressing Da Nang's desire to reach out to the big sea.
During the day, the bridge stands out against the blue sky; while at night, the color-changing lights reflect on the water surface, creating a rare sparkling scene.
Experience worth trying: Stand on the bridge watching the sunset gradually fall on Tien Sa sea,capture the whole panorama of Da Nang city at night - where urban light blends with the rhythm of sea waves, creating a scene that makes anyone passing by want to stop for a long time.
7. Nguyen Van Troi Bridge
Nguyen Van Troi Bridge runs parallel to Tran Thi Ly bridge, built since the 1960s and is the oldest pedestrian bridge in Da Nang. Once a main traffic bridge, the structure is now kept as a nostalgic symbol in the middle of the young city.
The lattice truss steel structure along with the faded paint layer creates an old but very unique beauty - the thing that makes the bridge a favorite stop for those who like to calm down amidst the hurried pace of life.
Photography tip: In the afternoon, when the sunlight shines obliquely through the bridge frame, is the most beautiful time to shoot. The nostalgic background, warm light and peaceful scenery make all photos here naturally "vintage", no editing needed.
8. Hue T-junction Overpass (Nga Ba Hue Bridge)
Nga Ba Hue Bridge is located at the Western gateway of the city, the intersection between Da Nang, Hue city and Quang Nam (formerly) - a strategic location connecting three key economic regions in the Central. The project commenced in 2013, invested by Cienco 4 Group, and inaugurated in March 2015, becoming a symbol for Da Nang's modern infrastructure development.
With a unique 3-level overpass structure, Nga Ba Hue Bridge is the first project in Vietnam to apply Linga - Yoni architecture, inspired by Champa culture, symbolizing multiplication and harmony between human - nature - city.
Not only an architectural highlight, this structure also radically solved traffic congestion that used to be a nightmare for many years at the Western gateway. Today, Nga Ba Hue Bridge not only helps traffic flow smoothly but is also considered a symbol of Da Nang's innovation and integration on the journey towards a smart city.
9. Tien Son Bridge
Tien Son Bridge is located on National Highway 14B, connecting Hai Chau district and Ngu Hanh Son district, playing a vital role in Da Nang's traffic system. The project started in February 2002, opened to traffic in February 2004, constructed by Transport Engineering Construction Corporation 1 and 5.
With a length of more than 529 meters, 25 meters wide and a height of 6 meters above water level, the bridge is designed so that boats can circulate safely even during the flood season. Although not a prominent tourist attraction, Tien Son Bridge still carries special significance in the city's traffic picture.
The structure is an important transit point on the East - West Economic Corridor route, connecting goods from 6/7 industrial parks west of the Han River to Tien Sa port, while contributing to promoting trade between Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
