The Dragon bridge features 166 meters of undulating steel in the shape of a giant fire-breathing dragon flying towards the East Sea. The main span of the 37.5m-wide bridge is bookended by two 128m side sections, with a head and tail on each end of those. The whole construction weighs 8,164 tonnes and stretches 666m in length.
It is a bridge with unique aesthetic and creative characteristics, and incorporates complex technologies. Spanning the Han River, the bridge connects Danang International Airport with the city's most popular beaches and the downtown area.
Tops on the list are Infinity Bridge of the UK, Puente Nuevo of Spain, Moon Bridge of Italy, Dyavolski Most of Bulgaria, Banpo Bridge of the Republic of Korea, and Animal Crossing Bridge of the Netherlands.
