Dragon Bridge fire show in Da Nang: which days does it happen and where to watch from?

A newer report says the show starts at 9:00 PM on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and was also scheduled on a holiday. Arrive early for a spot near the dragon’s head. Standing on the bridge by the head gives a close view; directly in front of it, expect to get sprayed by the water jets.

The Dragon Bridge show is brief: according to visitors, the full fire-and-water performance usually lasts about 10 minutes or less.

The best spot to watch the Dragon Bridge show is on the Han River embankment directly in front of the bridge, which gives a clear frontal view of the fire and water effects.

Some travelers ask about Han River boat cruises to watch the Dragon Bridge show from the water — including departure times, prices, and when the show actually starts.

To get to Dragon Bridge by taxi, tell the driver 'Cầu Rồng' — that's the Vietnamese name for the bridge. Drop-off is on the Han River embankment near the bridge.

The Dragon Bridge show can be cancelled or rescheduled on nights when Da Nang hosts major fireworks events or festivals. It's worth checking locally on the day if there's a big event in town.

There's some confusion online about which nights the show runs — some sources say Friday–Saturday, others say Saturday–Sunday. The current schedule is Saturday and Sunday at 9:00 PM.
