Besides stunning sandy beaches and the grandiose Son Tra Mountain, Han River is also a featured attraction of Danang city. The river adds an elegant yet magnificent touch to the city landscape, especially in the evening. When the sun goes down, the sparkling lights from the bridges and surrounding buildings reflex onto the river, creates a marvelous night view. Han River attracts numerous tourists at night time for a walk on the riverbank, for hanging out at the beautiful café along Bach Dang street, or even more exciting, for a river cruise tour.

Departing at the tourist pier, the cruises on Han river will take tourists on a special city water tour to admire the beauty of the city and the bridges at night. It’s not an overstatement to say that Danang is the city of the bridges. Lying next to each other on the poetic river, each bridge has a distinct and unique beauty. When put together, they create the most gorgeous landscape right in the center of the city. Not only do they look stunning, but each bridge also has an original story behind it that you can hear from every lovely local.

Han River Bridge

Han River Bridge has always been Danang’s pride since it’s the first ever swing bridge to be built in Vietnam. Constructed with the whole city’ contribution, love, and hope, the bridge plays an important role in facilitating the transport and the development of the vast area in the eastern city. The bridge is not only a symbol of the vitality of Danang city but also a proud legacy for the future generation. 

Thuan Phuoc Bridge

Thuan Phuoc Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam. Located right where the river flows to the sea at the southern Danang Bay, Thuan Phuoc Bridge looks like a giant guard protecting the city from outside brutal disasters. The bridge connects the route from Hai Van tunnel to Son Tra peninsula and from Son Tra to Hoi An, helps facilitate the traffic between Danang city and the surrounding provinces.

Tran Thi Ly Bridge

The state-of-the-art and unique architecture of the bridge is admired by not only locals but also various tourists from all over the world. The colors of the pylon and the deck of the bridge change at night, which makes it even more superb and irresistible to grab a camera to capture this amazing view.

Dragon Bridge

The most well-known bridge over Han River is Dragon Bridge. Shaped like a giant steel dragon heading towards the Eastern sea, Dragon Bridge represents the city’s vision to reach out to the world. What makes Dragon Bride so special is that it can breathe fire and water like a real one. The performance makes such a remarkable highlight that it becomes a must-see attraction of Danang city.

The best way for you to admire all the gorgeous views is from a cruise sailing along the river. The cruise will go under each bridge from Tran Thi Ly Bridge, to Dragon Bridge, Han Bridge, Thuan Phuoc Bridge, and finally, return to Dragon Bridge for the fire and water breathing show.

Besides the stunning views await, you can also enjoy the high-end services on the cruise. Having a candle-lit dinner with the romantic jazz melody in the background or sipping a drink on the cruise deck and let the breezy wind blow away all the heat of summer nights are highly recommended.
