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!
