Dubbed as one of the most livable cities, Danang is the bustle and hustle economic - cultural center of the region. It is surrounded by the blue sea and majestic mountains, with many captivating landscapes, unique cultural values and hospitable people. Therefore, it is not surprising that the nightlife in Danang is also extremely attractive, offering many interesting experiences that you cannot ignore:
Danang is known as the city of bridges, with 6 on the Han River alone, along with the Golden Bridge in Ba Na Hills. Not only do they contribute greatly to the economic development, but they also become destinations not to be missed here. Possessing a special and impressive design, the bridges are most beautiful and suitable to be admired in the nightlife in Danang.
Dragon Bridge
Opened in 2013, this is the most famous bridge and is considered a symbol of Danang because of its unique shape. Dragon Bridge has a unique architecture that looks like a winding dragon flying to the sea, expressing a notion of Vietnamese culture. This bridge is the shortest way to go from the city center to Da Nang international airport, also convenient to visit My Khe or Non Nuoc beach. Every weekend at 9pm, the dragon will spray water and fire, mixing with music and lighting to create a mysterious scenery that can’t be found anywhere else.
Thuan Phuoc Bridge
Another must-see point of nightlife in Danang is the Thuan Phuoc suspension bridge, which has a quiet beauty and sophisticated features, looking like a bird expanding its wings. Not only creating convenience in traffic and trade, Thuan Phuoc bridge is also a distinctive feature for the city, contributing to the development of tourism services and regional economy. When the night falls, this place becomes more brilliant than ever under the colored lights, looking like a silk strip across the sparkling Han River.
Han River Bridge (Spinning Bridge)
Considered the largest and only swing bridge in Vietnam up to now, the Han River Bridge is one of the proud symbols of the locals. From 1am to 2am, this bridge will rotate 90 degrees in the middle around the axis, lying along the flow of the river, creating a unique landscape. Under the twinkling lights of thousands of LED bulbs, many young people also come here to take impressive check-in photos and enjoy the lively nightlife in Danang.
There are also many other bridges on the Han River and equally beautiful, but they are all located quite far apart so it’s hard to visit them all in one night in Da Nang. That’s why you should join a cruise tour to experience the feeling of floating along the river, admiring the poetic scenery on both sides and enjoying food, music performances, and so on. Cruise ships usually pick up passengers at Da Nang pier - the foot of the Dragon Bridge, and depart at 6pm, 6:45pm, 7:30pm and 8:15pm.
