At 9pm every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and on major holidays, according to Da Nang's tourism portal. The dragon breathes fire for about two minutes, then sprays water for about three. Arrive early for a place on the Han River banks.
How do I get from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills?
Sun World says the Ba Na Hills cable car station is over 20 km from central Da Nang, about 30 minutes by car. It runs a free shuttle bus at 08:30 and 09:30 from the Novotel on Bach Dang Street for ticket holders who register a day ahead.
Did Da Nang change in the 2025 mergers?
Yes. Under Resolution 202/2025/QH15, Quang Nam province merged into Da Nang city from 1 July 2025, so Hoi An and the Cham Islands now sit within Da Nang. The merged city covers about 11,860 square kilometres with about 3.07 million people.
