About Dragon Bridge Da Nang
A Brief Introduction
Opened to traffic in 29th March 2013, the Dragon Bridge Vietnam is 666 meters long and 37,5 meters in width. It carries a six-lane road, connecting the Nguyen Van Linh St and Vo Van Kiet St and thousands of vehicles everyday. Its dragon on the median strip is its highlight, becoming the heaviest dragon architecture all over the globe. Its construction is preceded by Thuan Phuoc bridge in the river mouth and Tran Thi Ly bridge in the upstream. Nowadays, this new icon bridge is a highlight in most experiences around the center core of Da Nang. After the darkness falls, it breathes fire and water and draws huge crowds at many times.

Its color is yellow, and according to the Five elements theory, yellow symbolizes prosperity and the future. Moreover, it is also similar to the Cham museum nearby, a long-established cultural landmark in Han river waterfront.
The head of the dragon faces the East, with heart-shaped eyes and with an open mouth. As a whole, the architecture of the Dragon Bridge is inspired from imperial dragons in the Vietnamese Ly dynasty in 11st century.

On the bridge, two pedestrian walkways and wavy handrails are also added, to allow the visitors enjoy romatic rivercape of the Han.
