The Exhibition Quay on the right bank of the Han River is the centre of Da Nang's nightlife, and if you're spending even one night in the city, you should definitely visit. It's also a popular meeting place for local Vietnamese who head here for exercise or artistic activities.

The waterfront is at its most beautiful in the evening after dark, when you can see the city beautifully lit up. If you're here at the right time, you'll also spot the spouting dragon bridge or visit the lively night market.

What to see on the waterfront?

A stroll along the illuminated waterfront in the evening is an experience in itself, yet there are a few places of interest you shouldn't miss:

Dragon Bridge - A spectacular bridge with a dragon structure that spews fire and water during the evening show.
The Fish Statue - A large fish statue with water splashing directly into the river at regular intervals from its throat.
Love Bridge - Right next to the fish statue lies a blind pedestrian bridge where all lovers can pin a lucky charm.
Figure Painting Section - On the waterfront below the Cau Song Han Bridge, you'll find dozens of small stalls with plaster figures that you and the crowds of Vietnamese can paint and take away as souvenirs.
Night Market - The Son Tra Night Market is an authentic place where locals gather over good food or to buy clothes.
