The Vietnamese city of Da Nang has celebrated the 38th anniversary of its liberation during the Vietnam War by opening a new bridge in the shape of a giant dragon that breathes huge balls of fire.

Da Nang is Vietnam's fourth-largest city, an important port and now also home to the country's largest steel-span arch (166 metres) and also a dragon head. Because why not? The Dragon Bridge is modelled on the dragon of the Lý Dynasty according to VietnamNet, a creature known in Vietnamese folklore for flying to the sea and bringing good luck.
