The story of the Dragon Bridge

The Dragon Bridge opened in 2013 to celebrate 38 years since the end of the war in Da Nang. Its 666-metre steel dragon is lit with thousands of LED lights.

The dragon is a symbol of power and good luck in Vietnam. At weekends crowds gather for the show, when the dragon's head breathes fire and then sprays water.
