Han River, Da Nang

Getting around: Runs through the center of Da Nang; the riverside promenades on both banks are walkable from most downtown hotels.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public waterfront; evenings are the liveliest, especially around Dragon Bridge.

The Han River splits Da Nang roughly into its older commercial core on the west bank and the beach and newer development on the east, spanned by several bridges including the well-known Dragon Bridge and Love Bridge. The riverside promenades on both sides are popular for evening walks, with restaurants, bars, and the occasional cruise boat offering short river tours.

It functions less as a single attraction and more as the city's connective spine — most Da Nang itineraries end up walking or driving along it repeatedly while moving between the market, bridges, and beach areas.
