Han River Bridge is one of the prime examples of ingenious engineering! It is the first swing bridge in Vietnam and stretches over the Han River for 487 meters. Travel to the bridge at around 11 PM on a weekend when the traffic is stopped and the bridge swings on its axis for about 15 to 20 minutes to allow the shipping traffic in the Han River to pass through.
Inaugurated in the year 2000, it facilitates transport and links the eastern side of the river to the city centre. Another interesting factor in the construction of the Han River Bridge is that the citizens themselves contributed the money for building it. In addition to being an architectural marvel, it is also a tourist spectacle when it lights up at night in a colour palette of red, yellow and blue, signifying the city's vibrancy. It is the pride of the Da Nang dwellers and an example of the modernity of the city.
