DA NANG

Da Nang is the third largest city in Vietnam by urban population. It lies on the coast of the South China Sea at the mouth of the Han River, and is one of Vietnam's most important port cities, known as Tourane (or Turon) during French colonial rule. Da Nang's population is estimated to reach one million inhabitants by 2014

The city is surrounded by mountains to the west, and the South China Sea to the east

The Dragon bridge

Completed in 2013, Dragon Bridge provides a direct route to both Non Nuoc and My Khe Beach. It’s the longest in all of Vietnam.

Dragon Bridge looks like a dragon, and glows with neon light after dark. The bridge was designed by the USbased Ammann & Whitney Consulting Engineers with Louis Berger Group

According to local beliefs, which date back to the Ly Dynasty, the dragon is a significant symbol of power, nobility and good fortune

Up until the mid 16 th Century Da Nang was a small port town deployed for ship repairs for its bustling neighbour, Hoi An. Da Nang then prospered as a bustling port city, the central region’s largest commercial port, and there was an influx of European lead investment. The devastation of the American War in 1969 halted this development. Production was limited and emergence of extreme poverty and urban slums developed.

Following the devastation of the war Da Nang evolved, with the construction of large bridges connecting the city across the Han River.

The bridges of Da Nang not only contributed to this industrial development but also enabled the city to establish itself as a worldrenowned tourist hub. Many people travel to Da Nang to view the bridges scattered over seven kilometres around the city

The Dragon bridge

The span of Dragon Bridge is best viewed at night when it’s lit up in bright yellows, blues, and reds, weaving across the Han River. This ancient symbol of power spits fire and water from its mouth on weekend evenings. The impressive show is best viewed from one of the many riverside bars or restaurants.

The main attraction of the Dragon bridge is certainly the fire and water that spouts out of the dragon’s elaborate head twice a week

The Dragon Bridge Fire Show attracts huge crowds every Saturday and Sunday, with the imperious golden dragon erupting with fire from 9. p. m with an impressive light show to match. So if you want to get close, arrive around 15 to 30 minutes early.

No one's allowed to drive across the bridge while the show is going on. The sixlane bridge shuts down every weekend just before the 9: 00 pm show on Saturday and Sunday

The tourism sector is a vital component of Da Nang's economy. It is within 100 km (62 mi) of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Imperial City of Hue, the Old Town of Hoi An, and the My Son ruins
