If tourists have the opportunity to visit Da Nang city, probably they will never forget the beautiful scenes, harmonizing people and the delicate Han River in the heart of the Da Nang city. Han River does not bring the peaceful beauty as the Huong River in Hue, or not as alluvial as the Red River, but possesses the unique poetic beauty of the coastal city, Da Nang.

Han River has existed for thousand years associated with many historical events of Vietnam. Also, the name of the Han River originated from stories against foreign invaders, because people used iron chain to against attacks from the enemy, it as a witness to the unyielding spirit for a Vietnam peace and unity like the peaceful image of Da Nang today. Han River flows to the sea, the two sides are the Bach Dang road running along the green trees with its cool shadow to the bottom of the river, creating a unique poetic scene in here. Especially in the early morning, the Han River looks so gentle as a young woman dancing in the middle of a beautiful city, along with the busy traffic. The Han river is always peaceful and tranquility, especially waking up on boats after a day of fishing on the Han River will be extraordinary experiences for tourists to Da Nang. At noon when the sun was shining, the river becomes shiny, and brighter than ever. The rays of the sunlight are like playing, dancing, joking between the blue and cool water. In the evening, Han River is quiet than ever, with more colorful lights from the Rotating Bridge that light up the river to make it more splendid, and beautiful than ever.

Reminded to the Han River, Rotating bridge presents as the symbol of the new vitality, and the aspiration of the Da Nang city. The image of the Rotating bridge crossing the river not only brings modern beauty, marks the development of the city, but also embodies the primitive memory of the Danang people on the early times of a small city after separation from Quang Nam-Da Nang, and is the evidence of the power of consensus, the power of the people in here. Every day at about 1 am, the center of the bridge rotates 90 degrees around the axis and lies along the river’s flow, opening the way for larger ships to cross. By 4am the bridge will return to its original state. Recently, large vessels no longer pass through, so the rotation of the bridge is less and mainly for maintenance.
Let’s come to Da Nang and dive in the legendary beauty of the Han river runing in the heart of this coastal city!
