Han River Bridge

This guide to the Han River Bridge covers Da Nang's only swing bridge, built in 1998 after residents and local businesses chipped in to help pay for it when the city had just one crossing over the river. It traces what opening the bridge in 2000 meant for the once-cheap eastern bank across the water, Son Tra and An Hai, and how that shoreline changed. It also follows how the nightly rotation, once purely functional, turned into something else entirely for the crowds who now gather to watch it.
