With unique designs, Rong May glass bridge, Golden bridge and Dragon bridge are impressive destinations for tourists in Vietnam.
Vietnam has a number of impressive bridges that attract many local and foreign tourists to come.
Dragon bridge, Da Nang
Dragon Bridge in Da Nang is the longest bridge in Vietnam, offering a dazzling display of lights, fire, and water that no first-time visitor to Da Nang should miss out on. Measuring at 666 metres in length, it is located in Da Nang City and constructed in the shape of a golden dragon.
The six-lane bridge crosses the Han River, serving as direct routes to My Khe Beach and Non Nuoc Beach as well as a popular spot amongst travelling photographers. Dragon Bridge was officially opened in 2013 after a two-year-long construction, commemorating the 38th anniversary of Da Nang City’s liberation. According to local beliefs, which date back to the Ly Dynasty, the dragon is a significant symbol of power, nobility and good fortune.
While it’s a magnificent sight at any time of the day, Dragon Bridge Da Nang is particularly cool (and packed with sightseers) in the evening as it is illuminated with colorful LED lights.
On weekends and annual festivities, the state-of-the-art bridge is also scheduled to spit water or breathe fire from its mouth from 21:00 onwards.
There are also plenty of riverfront bars, restaurants, and cafes offering terrace seats that overlook Vietnam’s longest bridge. Alternatively, you can opt to sit at the waterfront (where marble carvings of animals and deities are set along the Han River) to enjoy the view.
Golden bridge, Da Nang
The Golden Bridge is a 150-metre-long pedestrian bridge in the Bà Nà Hills resort, near Da Nang, Vietnam. It is designed to connect the cable car station with the gardens and to provide a scenic overlook and tourist attraction.

What was designed to be a small part of the Sun World Ba Na Hills Theme Park, just outside of Da Nang, has exploded in popularity, inspired by viral videos of the gorgeous bridge and the ultimate Instagram-friendly pictures that it creates.

With the long-lasting history of over 100 years, Truong Tien Bridge has undergone many ups and downs with the development of Hue. When completing its construction, this was a solid steel bridge with civilized structure and construction techniques of the Western. Truong Tien Bridge was the pride of the people in Hue. However, the bridge used to destroy by natural disasters, war and was remodeled several times. Most notable is its restoration in 1991 lasting until 1995. The bridge had many important changes after the restoration.
Accordingly, the balconies of the hallway at the location of the piers were removed; the width of the bridge was narrowed (from 6,20m to 5,40m as today); gray is used instead of the original color of the bridge – metallic color; the bronze plaque mounted at the bridgehead with “Trang Tien Bridge” instead of “Truong Tien Bridge” created a lack of consensus on the bridge’s name. Thanks to its historical significance, Truong Tien Bridge is worth one of tourist Hue attractions alluring both domestic and international tourists.
