Dragon Bridge in Da Nang

This 1,864-foot-long bridge has a steel dragon that breathes fire.

Opened on March 29, 2013, the bridge commemorates the 38th anniversary of the port city of Da Nang's taking by the North Vietnamese near the end of the Vietnam War. The metallic dragon was modeled on one from the Ly Dynasty, and is illuminated with 2,500 LED lights.

While it might seem a bit terrifying for the six lanes of traffic that drive beneath the mythical giant, to watch it shoot fire, it can also playfully spray water from its mouth.
