Best Spots to Watch the Countdown & Fireworks in Da Nang

Dragon Bridge Area

This is the central hub of the countdown series, close to the main stage at the East-side park of Dragon Bridge. From here, you can view the fireworks directly and immerse yourself in the bustling crowds along both sides of the Han River. Ideal for those who enjoy a lively New Year’s Eve atmosphere.

Han River Cruise Boats

Viewing fireworks from a river cruise offers a clear, unobstructed perspective. The separation from the crowds makes it a more private experience for families and couples.

Both Sides of the Han River: Tran Hung Dao & Bach Dang

This area is the main route of the “Da Nang Avenue – Welcome 2026” program. With wide walkways, easy movement, and many stopping points along the pedestrian street, it provides balanced views of the fireworks—suitable for families and groups of friends.

Rooftops of Riverside Hotels

Rooftop venues along the river offer panoramic views of Dragon Bridge, Tran Hung Dao Street, and the West bank of the Han River. With open space and fewer crowds, they suit couples or friend groups wanting a calmer New Year’s Eve. This is also a popular choice for travelers seeking more privacy.

Overnight Activity Suggestions for December 31 in Da Nang

Guests can begin the evening by joining performance programs from 19:00 to 22:00 at the East-side park of Dragon Bridge, or at stages in Bach Dang, Bien Dong Park, and Ha Khe Beach, taking place from December 30 to January 1.

Afterward, take a walk along the Bach Dang – Dragon Bridge – Tran Hung Dao – Nguyen Van Troi route to join the “Light Up the Han River – Run to the Future” race, which starts at 22:00 and continues until 01:00.

Before the countdown moment, you may visit check-in locations operating from December 15 to January 3 on the East and West sides of Dragon Bridge, An Hoi statue garden, and 24/3 Square to capture memorable year-end photos.

Tips for a Complete Countdown Experience

You should arrive early to secure a good fireworks-viewing spot, especially around Dragon Bridge where crowds gather quickly.

Prepare a light jacket, drinking water, and a portable charger to maintain energy throughout the night.

For travelers, booking accommodation early near the beach or city center will make transportation on New Year’s Eve more convenient.
