Han River Bridge

Cầu Sông Hàn

Vietnam's first swing bridge. The lit-up riverbanks, river cruises and Han Market form the core of Da Nang's night-time attractions.

Han River Bridge opened in 2000 and was Vietnam's first swing bridge. Around 1 to 2 a.m., its central section rotates 90 degrees to let boats pass. Da Nang's residents helped fund its construction, and it is a source of local pride. The bridge itself is not grand, but the two banks it links form the heart of Da Nang's nightlife. On the west bank, Bạch Đằng riverside road has cafés, bars and night markets. On the east bank, Trần Hưng Đạo Street offers views across to the town hall and to skyscrapers reflected in the water. A one-kilometre walk south brings you to the Dragon Bridge, and to the north is the rooftop sky bar of the Novotel hotel. In the evening, you can take a Han River cruise from the riverside pier. It lasts about an hour and costs 100,000 to 150,000 VND, passing the Dragon Bridge, Trần Thị Lý Bridge and Thuận Phước Bridge. On weekends, you can even watch the Dragon Bridge spew fire from the boat. By day, visit Han Market on the west side of the bridge. It is Da Nang's most convenient souvenir market, selling cashews, fish sauce, coffee and dried goods, and you should bargain. The area has plenty of places to eat. Try the local Da Nang noodles, Mì Quảng, and Bánh Xèo pancakes.
