If you need an image that clearly depicts the dynamic spirit and aspiration to reach out of Da Nang, nothing is more symbolic than bridges.
Dragon Bridge, a structure shaped like a Ly Dynasty dragon stretching out to the sea, is an unmistakable symbol of the modern city. Every weekend night, at 9:00 p.m., the bridge "awakens" with a spectacular fire and water show.
The festive atmosphere spreads on both banks of the Han River, where thousands of locals and tourists gather to watch.
According to the Da Nang Department of Tourism, this is a unique cultural meeting place, expressing the vitality and identity of the coastal city.
Before the Dragon Bridge became a tourist attraction, the Han River Bridge was the pride of the local people. As the first swing bridge in Vietnam, built with socialized resources, the Han River Bridge is not only a technical work but also a symbol of solidarity. The image of the bridge rotating at midnight to allow ships to pass through has been engraved in the memories of many generations of Da Nang people.

The Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills tourist area is a global media phenomenon. With its unique design, supported by giant mossy hands in the middle of the sky, the bridge is like a golden silk strip connecting nature and people.
Since its launch in 2018, the Golden Bridge has been continuously praised by international media such as CNN , Lonely Planet , The Guardian... , making the name Da Nang more prominent on the world tourism map.
Peaceful beauty in the heart of the city
Not only famous for its urban architecture, Da Nang also owns a coastline stretching nearly 60 km with many beautiful beaches, stretching from the foot of Hai Van Pass to Non Nuoc Mountain.

Da Nang beach has small waves, calm water, clear water all year round, is not polluted, and is highly safe.
The beaches on Son Tra peninsula also have many corals and rich sources of coastal and marine flora and fauna.
Some beaches have steep slopes and clear blue water, suitable for tourists who want to enjoy recreational services such as fishing, windsurfing, diving, yachting, etc.
Besides, from the city center to the beaches are very close, in just a moment visitors can soak in the clear blue water.
In particular, My Khe beach on Vo Nguyen Giap street was once honored by Forbes magazine as one of the most attractive beaches on the planet, and is also a bustling tourist center with high-class hotels and the most crowded seafood restaurants.
Perhaps the true beauty of Da Nang beaches is best felt in the early morning. When the city is still "sleepy", the beach returns to its original appearance with the image of fishermen's basket boats gently docking at the shore, or the scene of people exercising in the cool breeze. There, the traditional features of the old fishing village are still alive, blending with the modern pace of life.

Not far from the center is Son Tra Peninsula – the “green lung” of Da Nang. The road winds around the mountain, with the blue sea on one side and primeval forest on the other. This is also home to the rare red-shanked douc langur – the “queen of primates”, a symbol of the city’s efforts to conserve nature.
On the top of Son Tra, Linh Ung Pagoda with a 67-meter-high statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva stands majestically facing the sea. From here, you can see the entire city and Da Nang Bay. Not only a spiritual work, the statue of Buddha also has the meaning of protection, symbolizing the peace and sustainability of this land.
Journey to the heritage land
In addition to its stunning natural landscape, Da Nang is also a land rich in cultural heritage, with destinations bearing profound historical imprints.
