Perched at an altitude of nearly 800 metres above sea level, a remarkable structure inspired by the image of a sacred dragon has become one of the must-visit attractions at Dong Giang Heaven Gate Ecotourism Site.
The Jade Dragon complex, comprising the Dragon Corridor and Jade Dragon Glass Bridge, stands out for its distinctive architecture while embodying the cultural and spiritual essence of the great forest.
A Spectacular Check-in Spot Amid Majestic Mountains
The Ngoc Rong Bao Lam complex consists of two main features: the 39-metre-long, 1.5-metre-wide Jade Dragon Glass Bridge and a 460-metre-long dragon-shaped covered corridor winding gracefully along the mountainside.
The highlight of the complex is the covered corridor inspired by the Ly Dynasty dragon motif. Covering more than 1,260 square metres, the structure ranges in height from 3.73 metres to 8.85 metres. In 2025, it was officially recognised by the Vietnam Records Organization as the “Longest Dragon-Shaped Covered Corridor Crossing a Mountain in Vietnam”.
Beyond its impressive architectural design, the complex tells a meaningful cultural story. Both structures are inspired by the Heavenly Jade Pearl, a sacred treasure protected by a divine dragon. The pearl is believed to carry positive energy and symbolises peace, prosperity, and blessings for the land. Drawing from this legend, the Jade Dragon Glass Bridge was designed as a glowing gemstone nestled within the forest, creating a striking focal point amidst the surrounding natural landscape.
The Sacred Dragon Corridor offers visitors a symbolic journey of discovery. Its architectural lines emulate the graceful form of a dragon, while the roof is stylised to resemble shimmering dragon scales. Together, these elements create a mystical atmosphere where visitors can admire the beauty of nature while experiencing traditional cultural values reinterpreted through contemporary architecture.
Viewed from above, the corridor resembles a giant dragon stretching across the mountains, embracing layers of clouds and vast green forests. It has become one of the most popular check-in locations at Dong Giang Heaven Gate, attracting visitors, photographers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
A Cultural and Spiritual Landmark of Dong Giang Heaven Gate
More than a sightseeing attraction, the Jade Dragon Glass Bridge complex represents a new milestone in Dong Giang Heaven Gate’s strategy to develop experiential tourism integrated with cultural and spiritual values. Amid the grandeur of the Truong Son Mountains, the complex serves as a connection between nature, indigenous culture, and the unique spiritual heritage of the western region of Da Nang.
According to Ms. Dang Pham Trieu Van, Chief Executive Officer of Dong Giang Heaven Gate Ecotourism Site:
“This complex is not only an impressive architectural work but also an important foundation for the development of cultural and spiritual tourism at Dong Giang Heaven Gate.”
Today, alongside the cable car system, Co Tu Cultural Village, caves, waterfalls, and other iconic attractions, the Jade Dragon Glass Bridge is helping shape a new identity for tourism in the mountainous western region of Da Nang. More than just an attractive check-in destination, it offers a journey into legendary stories, breathtaking mountain scenery, and unforgettable experiences in the heart of the Truong Son forests.
