Tran Thi Ly Bridge

Tran Thi Ly Bridge

What it is

The Nguyễn Văn Trỗi–Trần Thị Lý Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Hàn River, easy to spot for its single tilted pylon fanning out cables like a sail. It's a modern engineering landmark rather than a historic site, and it's best appreciated as a photo point and a piece of Đà Nẵng's contemporary skyline, especially when lit up after dark. Traffic crosses it, so viewing is mostly from riverside walkways and nearby vantage points rather than by lingering on the bridge itself.

Getting there

From central Đà Nẵng it's a short taxi or grab ride along the Hàn River, generally under 15 minutes depending on which side of the city you start from. The riverbanks on both sides are walkable if you're already nearby.

How long to stay

Most visitors spend 20-40 minutes taking photos from the riverside and crossing or viewing the bridge, longer if you plan to walk along the river afterward.

When to go

Evening is the main draw, once the bridge and pylon lighting come on and the heat of the day has eased. The riverside area can get busy with locals and visitors in the evening, particularly on weekends. Daytime visits are quieter but the structure is less visually striking without the lights.

Combine with

  • Dragon River Bridge (1.2km) — another river crossing worth seeing lit up in the evening
  • Zone 5 Military Museum (1.2km) — a change of pace nearby
  • Museum of Cham Sculpture (1.3km) — a short trip away for Cham artifacts and history
  • Tiên Sơn Bridge (1.8km) — a further riverside option if you're exploring on foot or by bike

Dragon River Bridge

Views & landmarks

Dragon River Bridge

This iron bridge across the river is shaped like a dragon, its entire body forming the creature. It's best enjoyed from the riverbank alongside the night view rather than crossed on foot or by car — it lights up after dark, and on weekend evenings the dragon's head sometimes breathes fire or spouts water.

1.2 km away

Museum of Cham Sculpture

Museums & galleries

Museum of Cham Sculpture

The Museum of Cham Sculpture is located in Hai Chau District, Da Nang, on the west bank of the Han River, and houses sandstone carvings and artifacts left by the ancient Champa Kingdom. It brings together stone sculptures recovered from sites across central Vietnam, making it a good choice for travelers who want to see Champa's distinctive carving style and religious symbolism — shaped by Angkorian and Indian influences — in a relatively short visit.
